Links between stressors and biotic assemblages in lakes of Slovenia
The purpose of the research was to study linkages between multiple stressors and littoral benthic assemblages in lakes and impoundments of Slovenia. Stressors consisted of changes at different spatial scales – at sampling site, in lake and catchment area. Based on results, we demonstrated potential use of benthic invertebrates when we need to distinguish between the effects of different stressors.

OSTALE DOMAČE REFERENCE
Expert bases for determining the priorities of the Republic of Slovenia in the field of environment and efficient use of resources and identification of the themes that are most suitable for co-financing from the LIFE program
In the framework of the project task, we prepared guidelines on the thematic priorities from the Multi-annual LIFE work program for the period 2014–2017 in the priority area Environment and efficient use of resources, and Environmental management and information for Lot 1: water, including the marine environment. The thematic priorities...
Remote sensing of large river hydromorphological characteristics and impact assessment on biotic communities
The project’s aim is to identify and compare impacts of different stressors (hydromorphological alterations, pollution, land use), acting on different spatial scales (reach, segment, catchment), on benthic macroinvertebrate and fish communities in Slovenian large rivers, as well as to analyse the comparability between field survey and remote sensing based hydromorphological...
Monitoring of the river ecosystem on water licence area on the river Soča
In this project our task is to monitor the impact of hydropower plant operation on river Soča ecological status/potential, specifically on biological quality elements, hydrological, and physico-chemical quality elements according to the current legislation.
