Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

V poletju 1933 so me vodila moja planinska romanja preko planin Južne Srbije: čez Perister in Galičico na Korab, pa preko Šar Planine in Čakora na Kotor. Izpolnil se mi je s tem mladostni sen, da si ogledam deželo kraljeviča Marka.

Pri pogledu na prostrane planjave in zložno pada- joče gole strmine, od temena najvišjih vrhov do podnožja, so mi, že takrat rodile prepričanje, da imamo ne samo v državi, temveč tudi Planinski Vestnlk, 1J3J, št. 7 177 v evropskih gorovjih malo planin, ki bi nudile tako odlične pogoje za planinsko smučanje. Takrat sem se poslovil od Koraba z obljubo: »Kmalu na svidenje — v zimi!« Ob priliki lanskega kongresa Zveze planinskih društev kralje- vine Jugoslavije, ki se je vršil v Beogradu, je v razgovoru z neka- terimi tovariši padla odločitev, da se v okviru Zveze in pod pokro- viteljstvom ministrstva za telesno vzgojo naroda priredi v zimi ali zgodnji pomladi skupinska planinsko-smučarska tura po grebenih in vrhovih cd Ljubotena preko Šar Planine, Popove Šapke, Aleksan- drovega Visa in Šutmana ob Rudoki in Vraca-Planini na gorsko gmoto Koraba.

Supplementary note: Study area 2. Supplementary figures 3. Supplementary tables 4. Appendix – Household questionnaire 1. Study area (Appendix to section 2 in the paper) The lowland region (north) encompasses the area of so-called Peripannonian Bosnia in the northern part of the country. This area, located in humid continental climate, is dominated by plains, with the appearance of hilly terrains towards the south, where the altitude gradually increases in transition to the central, hilly-mountainous region. More than 60% of the total population in BH lives in this region, making it the most populated region in the country. Agriculture is a significant part of livelihoods for many households, except for a few larger cities and business centers. Geographical and climatic conditions in this area are suitable for various types of agricultural production. The bulk of the country’s crop production is located in the fertile plains along the dense network of rivers, most of which is maize, other cereals and legumes (soybean), while the significant part of dairy and meat production, together with the complementary pastures and fodder production are carried out in the more hilly areas. Heavy soils, which require drainage to be productive, the increasing frequency of floods, droughts and other extreme weather events are main physically limiting factors of agricultural production in this region.

  • The King of the Mountains the Korab Mountain Range Is an Extension of the Sara Mountain Range
    Travel Destination The King of the Mountains The Korab mountain range is an extension of the Sara mountain range. Traditionally it is divided in two separate mountains: the higher Korab to the north and the lower Desat to the south. The main crest has a north-south direction from the source of the Radika River to the southernmost peak Crvena Ploca. It has the length of over 45 km and does not drop below 2000 meters. The Albanian- Macedonian border follows the main ridge. At 2764 meters Korab peak is one of only two summits in Europe which are the highest point for more than one country. It is also the 12th highest peak in Europe. From the Albanian side the mountain is part of the national park. In Macedonia it is represented on the national coat of arms. Korab is a very rugged mountain massif that consists mainly of shale and limestone of the Palaeozoic era with bloc structures.

    Vladimir Stevanovié Analysis of the CentraI European and Mediterranean orophytic element on the mountains of the W. and CentraI Balkan Peninsula, with special reference to endemics Abstract Stevanovié, v: Analysis of the Centrai European and Mediterranean orophytie element on the mountains of the W. and Centrai Balkan Peninsula, with speeial referenee to endemies. - Boe­ eonea 5: 77-97.1996. - ISSN 1120-4060. The distribution of 1350 vaseular orophytes of the W. & Centrai Balkans was analysed. Eaeh speeies is attributed to one of the three basie ehorologieal groups (Eurasian, Centrai S. Euro­ pean to W. Asian, and Centrai S. European) and eight subgroups, on the basis of its distribution or, in the ease of endemie s, of the distribution of its c10sest relative. The analysis of the total orophytie flora (exeluding the aretie-alpine and boreal speeies) results in the establishment of the boundary between alpine-high-nordie and oromediterranean floristie regions, and of transi­ tional zones between them, in the mountains of the W. & Centrai Balkans. Introduction Various floristic influences meet and overlap on the mountains of the Balkan Penin­ sula, especially in the centraI ranges. The genesis of the orophytic flora of this part of the Balkans, both before and during the Ice Ages, was most strongly influenced, floristi­ cally, from the direction of the Alps, the Carpathians, the mountains of Greece and Asia Minor. Naturally, these influences were not unidirectional. The orophytic flora of the Balkans, a region known as an autonomous centre of origin for many high-mountain plants, contributed in tum to enriching the flora of the surrounding massifs.
