Sažetak
Livanjsko field is one of the largest karst fields in the subtropical climate zone in the world. According to its geographical position, this field has a number of specific natural features, among which its biodiversity is especialy significant which arose in specific geological and hydro-morphological conditionsin it, northern, central and southern part. One of the special natural featuresof this area is the peat pedological substrate which was formed in the conditions of specific paleogeographic conditions that existed in the widerMediterrnean biogeographical region during the Neogene. However, over the last 50 years various negative anthropogenic pressures have been registered that have a very negative impact on the overall natural heritage of this Ramsar site. The paper investigates the elements of the diversity of recent flora and field vegetation. Special emphasis in these researches was placed on the sequestration potential of peat pseudosupstrate formed in the northern and southern part of Livanjsko field.
