Abstract

Based on field research and data from the available literature, we believe that the collapsed holes in the area of Borojević and Mečenčani were formed in two ways. Most of them were caused by the liquefaction of the soil caused by earthquakes, and a smaller part was caused by the action of suffusion that followed the construction of a large water pumping station at Pašino vrelo. Finally, a suggestion was made on how to prevent the formation of new collapsed holes. Following current events and possible consequences, we analyze the pedological characteristics and damage of agricultural land in the area of collapsed holes. Finally, we recommend agro-ameliorative measures for the formation and rational use of a new productive soil surface layer of garden, arable land and grassland.
