Sažetak
Karst represents a specific area consisting of surface-relief and surface-underground hydrographic networks resulting from water circulation and its aggressive chemical and physical action in conduits, joints, fractures, bedding plains and cracks along the layers of soluble rocks. It is a highly vulnerable and variable water and ecological system in both time and space. Karst systems have great significance for biodiversity conservation and very often they represent important cultural heritage. Karst ecosystems have been indi-cated as priority parts of biological and landscape diversity protection, which requires a specific approach. The objective of this paper was to analyse an-thropogenic influences on the karst environment using concepts of karstology and karst ecohydrology. The paper describes some special issues on which karstology and karst ecohydrology should focus their interests: caves, karst landscape, dry stonewalls, stone clearing and wildfires in karst regions.
