Task description:
Water levels at intermittent Cerknica Lake are extremely variable and unpredictable. The extent and duration of the lake phase have a great impact on vegetation as well as on water birds' population size and their nesting success. For that reason, we will carry out an analysis of lake extent at various water levels. We will also monitor the characteristics of water levels in different areas of Cerkniško polje and the drying out of open water patches. All activities in this task will be coordinated by the Karst Research Institute.
Status: Task is in progress
Results:
T.7.4.i - Analysis of lake extent at various water levels
T.7.4.ii - Additional measurements of water levels in selected areas and identification of local deviation of water levels from the theoretical horizontal level
