The vascular flora and vegetation of Pokljuka Gorge are described. Five forest and one shrub community and 262 taxons of vascular flora were identified. Central European flora predominate, with 158 (60,3%), there are 11 (4,2%) species of Illyrian flora, 14 (5,3%) protected species and the subendemic species Saxifraga burseriana is also present. We classified the forest and shrub associations into Central European phytocenoses, although more widespread southeast European-Illyrian species are present in some.

The paper focuses on the interdependence between the development of demographically endangered settlements and the frequency of mountain accidents in the Triglav National Park in the Slovenian Alps. Using statistical data analyses of the Mountain Rescue Association of Slovenia, field surveys and spatial information of the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia, conclusions were reached, which redefined the existing settlement pattern of alpine shelters and mountain pastures, to encourage safe mountaineering and the development of tourism. The upgraded network of Alpine posts is designed as an upgrade of the existing system of providing safety for the visitors to the high mountain regions of the Triglav National Park. At the same time, it offers a new format of tourist services as an opportunity to develop local economies in demographically endangered environments. The dual function (rescue services and tourism) reduces investment and maintenance costs and increases the efficiency in the exploitation of the network of paths and Alpine posts, hence it is feasible also in demographically endangered areas. It is one of the operational tools for stopping further decline in population.

Triglav National Park is the largest protected area in Slovenia that is established for the conservation of an area’s natural and cultural heritage. However, it is also destined for recreation that is subject to specific regulations in order to respect certain environmental guidelines. This ethnographic paper discusses strategies mountain bikers employ to negotiate the existing rules regarding the recreational use of the park’s lands; in addition, the authors propose solutions to diminish their demands with the aim of ensuring quiet space for the park’s wildlife.

The paper describes a new locality and sites of Pulmunaria australis in the Triglav Mountains under the peak Spodnja Brda on the northern edge of the Pokljuka plateau. Pulmonaria australis is a new species in the flora of both the Triglav National Park and the eastern Julian Alps. This locality is very different from its other known localities in Slovenia in terms of its elevation belt (almost 1800 m a.s.l.) and its sites (stony grassland on an overgrown scree slope with dominating species of the class Elyno-Seslerietea); it is, however, similar to some Pulmonaria australis sites in other Alpine regions, such as South Tyrol in N Italy.

Applying the standard Central-European method we conducted a phytosociological study of riverine forests along the rivers Sava Bohinjka, Radovna, Učja and the Slatenik brook in northwestern Slovenia and compared them to similar riverine forests in the Soča river basin and the neighbouring countries of Croatia, Austria and Italy. Based on this comparison they were classified into the following syntaxa: Salicetum eleagno-purpureae, Salicetum albae, Lamio orvalae-Salicetum eleagni (also in the new subassociation -caricetosum eletae) and Lamio orvalae-Alnetum incanae (also in the new subassociation -fraxinetosum excelsioris and -rhamnetosum fallacis). We described successive replacement (zonation) of communities along the Sava Bohinjka from initial gravel beds towards beech communities on higher lying river terraces. Applying the phytoindication method we evaluated the production capacity of economically the most valuable type of the studied riverine forests, stands of the subassociation Lamio orvalae-Alnetum incanae fraxinetosum excelsioris.
