摘要：More than one tenth of Slovenia is situated on dolomite. It is characterized by a special sort of fluviokarst form, and we have divided it into four basic types according to relief. The largest part of the article is devoted to an analysis of land use in dolomite areas. We determined land use by means of cadastral data and the Agrokarta (“Agricultural Map”), and in three test areas we also utilized the Emperor Francis' cadaster (1823) to determine changes in land use over the last two centuries. In comparison with areas situated on other rock, an above-average proportion of meadows and overgrown surfaces is characteristic of dolomite areas.
