The Effect of Damaging Pollutants on Dieback of Forests in Gorski Kotar


Summary


Due to the unfavourable geographic position, increase in emission of dama
ging substances, and the negative influence of pedologic, hydrogeologic, orographic
biologic and silvi-cultural factors, Gorski Kotar has become a dump for industrial
weste of the Istria-Rijeka area, including pollutants from northern Italy which
reach us from far away during cyclonic periods.


This resulted in the intensive dieback of forests, in particular conifers, and
which continues to progress more rapidly. Without halting, slowing down and
decreasing of emissions of damaging substances, the process of dieback cannot be
supressed.
