Kozjak and the Pohorje mountains. Three communities of the order Androsacetalia vandellii (Asplenietea trichomanis) were recognized: Campanulo cochleariifoliae-Primuletum villosae ass. nova (Androsacion vandellii ), Woodsio ilvensis-Asplenietum septentrionalis (Asplenion septentrionalis) and Hypno-Polypodietum (Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris). The communities are distinguished by altitude, light intensity, temperature and the number of endemic species, south-European orophytes or cosmopolite species. Altitude is a signifi cant factor aff ecting the fl oristic composition of the studied vegetation. Keywords: chasmophytic -

(2015): Exploring patterns of variation within the central-European Tephroseris longifolia agg.: karyological and morphological study. – Preslia 87: 163–194. Tephroseris longifolia agg. is an intricate complex of perennial outcrossing herbaceous plants. Recently, five subspecies with rather separate distributions and different geographic patterns were assigned to the aggregate: T. longifolia subsp. longifolia, subsp. pseudocrispa and subsp. gaudinii predominate in the Eastern Alps; the distribution of subsp. brachychaeta is confined to the northern and central Apennines and subsp. moravica is endemic in the Western Carpathians. Carpathian taxon T. l. subsp. moravica is known only from nine localities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and is treated as an endangered taxon of European importance (according to Natura 2000 network). As the taxonomy of this aggregate is not comprehensively elaborated the aim of this study was to detect variability within the Tephroseris longifolia agg. -
A New Evaluation of Fluid Inclusion Data Based on Thermal Basin Modeling for the Drau Range, Eastern Alps

Acknowledgement 84 References 84 Abstract Published microthermometrical data of fluid inclusions, which were trapped near or subsequent to the time of maximum subsidence of the Drau Range (Eastern Alps) have been used to evaluate the relationship between fluid flow and heat transfer. The evaluation is based on a numerical 1-D heat flow model, calibrated with vitrinite reflectance values. Aqueous fluid inclusions in quartz fissures crosscutting Permo-Scythian sediments and in fluorites hosted by Carnian carbonates give evidence for conductive heat transfer during fluid flow in the Late Cretaceous/Neogene. This implies that trapping temperatures of these fluids (125 °C to 220 °C in quartz, 115 °C to 180 °C in fluorite) can be used to approximate the burial temperatures (190 °C in the Permo-Scythian, 130 °C to 150 °C in the Carnian). -

Technical Note About the Monitoring of Hydromorphological Restoration/Management of the Drau River (Carinthia, Austria)
Technical note about the monitoring of hydromorphological restoration/management of the Drau River (Carinthia, Austria) BOKU 1 1. General presentation of the study site The study site at the Austrian Drau River is located in the Upper Drau valley in the South of Austria in the region of Carinthia, mainly focussing on two restored reaches near the villages of Kleblach (Figure 1a) and Obergottesfeld. This area is part of the Austrian Alps; elevations reach from around 550 m up to more than 3000 m. The catchment basin drains around 2445 km² and covers parts of the southern limestone Alps as well as east alpine crystalline. The dominant sediment is gravel with a d50 diameter of 25 mm. Sediment input mainly results from upstream active torrents in the catchment. The channel slope at the study site is approximately 0.002. The mean discharge is about 74 m³/s; a one-year flood reaches 320m³/s. Floods mostly occur in spring when snowmelt – and also glacier melt - is released into the basin, or in summer after thunderstorms. The discharge regime can be described as strongly pronounced nivo-glacial with a maximum discharge in June (Mader, 1996). The mean annual rainfall in Sachsenburg (close to the study site) is around 982 mm/a (BMFLUW, 2014). Historically, the Drau River at the studied reach was a wandering river (Figure 1b), which results from a transition from a braided to a meandering morphology, before it was regulated and finally restored. At the study site the valley is unconfined with presence of an alluvial forest whereas most parts of the Drau River are straightened and narrowed with a narrow alluvial forest zone left. -

A systematic analysis of the geographic variation of both valve shape and wing pattern reveals that the subspecies ofErebia euryale can be clustered into three groups, characterised by their valve shape. The adyte-group comprises the Alpine ssp. adyte and the Apenninian brutiorum, the euryale-group in- cludes the Alpine subspecies isarica and ocellaris, and all remaining extra- Alpine occurrences. The third group (kunz/-group), not recognised hitherto, is confined to a restricted, entirely Italian, part of the south- ern Alps. It comprises two subspecies: ssp. pseudoadyte (ssp. n.), hardly distinguishable from ssp. adyte by its wing pattern, and ssp. kunzi, strongly melanistic and even exceeding ssp. ocellaris in this respect. The ssp. pseudoadyte territory is surrounded by the valleys of the rivers Adda, Rio Trafoi and Adige, and ssp. kunzi inhabits the eastern Venetian pre-Alps, the Feltre Alps and the Pale di San Martino. The interven- ing region (the western Venetian pre-Alps, the Cima d'Asta group and the Lagorai chain) is inhabited by intermediate populations. -
