APPLICATION OF SPATIAL MODELLING IN THE KARST BIOCLIMATOLOGY

Oleg Antonić ; Ruđer Bošković Institute Bijenička 54, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia

Sažetak

The possibilities of the raster-GlS topoclimatic modelling and its applicability in the Karst bioclimatology have been generally presented. The short descriptions of the particular models derived from the digital elevation model include: terrain slope, relative terrain orientation, terrain curvature, direct and diffuse insolation, altitude in the sinkhole, flow accumulation and exposure to wind.
These models are spatially exact and also spatially intensive, and they do not have a practical altemative in precise studies of spatial distribution of ecosystem types, particular species or biodiversity. The
other contribution in the same volume summarizes the results of such a study on the Croatian Karst.
