Therefore, investigations in this thesis were focused on the relationship between algal growth potential and the distribution of nitrogen and phosphorus in surface freshwaters. To achieve objectives of this thesis a responsive test was designed to assess quantitatively algal growth after nutrient additions in order to obtain a biologically relevant measure of nutrient deficiency. As a result, a bioassay method is introduced for the evaluation of trophic status and limiting nutrients in the investigated waters. Trophic conditions based on algal growth potential throughout the work were inversely related to trophic conditions based on phytoplankton chlorophyll-a concentrations. Thus, in defining the trophic state both parameters should be considered as complementary. In the Danube river floodplain system, the most significant factors that influenced nutrient dynamics were the location of floodplain water bodies regarding the river (spatial dimension) and hydrological connectivity between the river and its floodplain (temporal dimension) along with the retention time of floodwaters and nutrient uptake by biota. Based on low nitrogen to phosphorus ratios and the overall high phosphorus concentrations, nitrogen was the expected limiting nutrient for primary productivity in the investigated waters. However, nutrient enrichment results indicated that N/P ratio was not a reliable indicator of nutrient limitation. Watercourses of rural and agricultural catchment (the Biđ-Bosut) were badly damaged or at high risk of eutrophication and their nutrient contents were far above prescribed concentrations. Only moderate signs of distortion resulting from anthropogenic activities were observed in watercourses draining forested catchment (the river Spačva basin), while some watercourses draining agricultural watershed in the Baranja region showed even nutrient deficiency (primarily nitrogen). Nutrient loading from catchments with different land uses exhibited considerable uncertainties making temporal and spatial monitoring of water quality essential for predicting the effects of either nutrient increases or reductions. Moreover, systematic studies involving water quality assessment at catchment scale showed to be necessary for the development of integrated water quality management. Because financial cost and the type of nutrient reduction strategies vary considerably with the targeted nutrient, scientific foundations are needed for management decisions concerning eutrophication control.

Tarzan Legović, Institut Ruđer Bošković u Zagrebu i Odjel za biologiju Sveučilišta Josipa Jurja Strossmayera u Osijeku Sažetak doktorskog rada Istraživanja u ovoj disertaciji usmjerena su na odnos između potencijalnog rasta algi i distribucije dušika i fosfora u površinskim kopnenim vodama. Za postizanje ciljeva dizajniran je eksperiment u svrhu kvantitativne procjene rasta algi kulture Chlorella kessleri FOT. et NOV. Da bi utvrdili jačinu limitacije, uspoređivan je prirast laboratorijski uzgajane kulture algi sa i bez dodanih hranjivih tvari te je dobivena mjerljiva vrijednost ograničavajućeg djelovanja određene hranjive tvari (Δμ, d-1). Također su definirane varijacije u N i P-limitaciji tijekom sušnog i poplavnog razdoblja. Istraživanja su provedena na području istočne Slavonije i Baranje: u poplavnom području rijeke Dunav (Park prirode Kopački rit), te u poljoprivrednom i šumskom području porječja rijeka Biđ i Bosut. Utvrđena je značajna korelacija između potencijala rasta alga i koncentracije nitrata u istraživanim uzorcima vode poplavnog područja Parka prirode Kopački rit. Ograničavajući čimbenik primarne produkcije u tim vodama bio je dušik. Definirane su promjene od nelimitirajućih uvjeta (tijekom sušnog razdoblja) ka N-limitaciji (tijekom razdoblja plavljenja) u Kopačevskom kanalu, kao i stalna N-limitacija na postajama Sakadaškog jezera. Ovisno o fluktuacijama vodostaja kao važnog ekološkog čimbenika u poplavnom području Parka prirode Kopački rit, utvrđeni su hipertrofni uvjeti tijekom sušnog razdoblja i eutrofni uvjeti tijekom razdoblja plavljenja. Dugotrajna plavljenja utječu na koncentracije hranjivih soli, osobito nitrata, te značajno određuju prostornu heterogenost područja. Prema hidrološkom režimu i smanjenju povezanosti između uzorkovanih postaja u poplavnom području i rijeke Dunav, definirani su različiti tipovi vodenih staništa: eupotamal, parapotamal i paleopotamal. Rezultati biotesta pokazali su da nutrijenti u vodama eupotamala podržavaju optimalan prirast C. kessleri, dok je potencijalna N-limitacija utvrđena u vodama parapotamala i paleopotamala. Duljim zadržavanjem poplavnih voda utvrđeno je prostorno širenje N- limitacije prema glavnom toku rijeke Dunav. Vode ruralnog i poljoprivrednog područja (porječje Biđ-Bosut) značajno su opterećene nutrijentima. Umjereno opterećenje nutrijentima utvrđeno je u vodama s pretežno šumskim porječjem (Spačvanski bazen), dok je u vodotocima baranjskih slivova povremeno utvrđena i N-limitacija. Dobiveni rezultati omogućit će implementaciju metode biotesta za procjenu stanja trofije kao nužnog preduvjeta definiranja mjera za smanjenje opterećenja voda hranjivim tvarima.

DASHI, launched by WWF in 2011, aims to reduce the adverse impacts of hydropower development in the Western Balkans and to promote good practices in the region. The Initiative focuses on the protection of the region’s most precious freshwater ecosystems, in particular Ramsar wetlands such as Livanjsko Polje and Hutovo Blato in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lake Skadar shared by Albania and Montenegro. HYDROPOWER NEWS FROM THE REGION WWF reveals the undiscovered world of Dinarides Through the Dinaric Arc Parks project (www.discoverdinarides.com) WWF urges the region and the world to discover the “undiscovered world of Dinarides.” The largest canyon in the world after the canyon of the Colorado River; the oldest and largest rainforest in Europe; meadows with more orchid species than there are in the whole UK; the largest and longest gorge in Europe ... all this is hiding in the Dinaric Arc region! Inspired by all these amazing facts, the creative agency Leo Burnett in Croatia designed a media campaign to promote the brand “Parks Dinarides” which can be seen from April in numerous newspapers, internet portals and on many TV stations throughout the region. www.discoverdinarides.com Energy Strategy for the “The current energy strategy for the Balkans is not in line with European Western Balkans environmental standards” (Jelko Kacin, EP MP) In February, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament (AFET) held a public debate on the energy strategy of the European Energy Community for the countries of the western Balkans, chaired by MP Jelko Kacin.

  • Study of Freshwater Ecosystem Services in Croatia
    Study of Freshwater Ecosystem Services in Croatia April, 2014 Carried out by: Dr. Sc. David Pithart MSc Ivana Petrov Rančić Petra Kutleša Aljoša Duplić IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK The project National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Croatia is being implemented over a period of two years (from 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2014). The Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection, Nature Protection Directorate (MENP) is the government institution responsible for the implementation of the project and will act as the Executing Agency. The main implementing partner of the Ministry is the State Institute for Nature Protection (SINP), which is the central institution carrying out expert tasks of nature protection in Croatia. UNDP is involved as the GEF Agency for the project, and it is accountable to the GEF for the use of funds. The project is nationally implemented (NIM). The project National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Croatia builds on the current status and achievements of Croatia with respect to its obligations vis-à-vis the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), in particular the country’s biodiversity planning and Convention reporting processes, and its commitment to implement, at the national level, the CBD’s Strategic Plan for the period 2011-2020. The concept of ecosystem services that is directly connected to the Aichi Targets 14 and 15 of CBD, as well as the EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy, are still quite new for Croatia. Since 2013, three projects in Croatia were dealing with the economic valuation of biodiversity, where ecosystem services were used as a tool for sustainable management of nature protected areas (in Nature Park Vransko jezero and Nature Park Velebit), or for sustainable rural development.
