Natural geographical regions and sub-regions of Slovenia

Natural geographic regions and sub-regions of Slovenia , in Slovenian Naravnogeografske regije in podregije Slovenije , is a regional breakdown for the natural geography of Slovenia .

Basics

The natural geographical structure of Slovenia comes from Ivan Gams , Drago Kladnik and Milan Orožen Adamič , and was developed in the 1990s. It appeared in 1996 in the Hand-Ortlexikon von Slovenia (Priročnikrajevni leksikon Slovenije) and was mapped by M. Orožen Adamič and Drago Perko from the Geographic Institute of the Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts . The preliminary work was done by Anton Melik (1930s – 50s), Svetozar Ilešič (1957/58) I. Gams (1980s) and Karel Natek (1994)

The classification combines geomorphological and geological - pedological with eco-zonal and climatic aspects in order to be as broadly applicable as possible. There are around 100 smaller regions in total, which is quite a large number in relation to the size of Slovenia, which reflects the landscape and biotic diversity of the country at the junction between the Alps , the Adriatic , the Dinarides and the Pannonian region . The regions themselves are mostly established landscape names that have been systematized (in particular delimited). A detailed breakdown below the choral dimension (scale range below 1: 25,000) was not carried out.

Slovenian name	German meaning	level	number	Remarks
Macro, submacro ali prehodna regija	Macro, sub-macro or transition region	1	13	6 macro regions, 2 sub macro regions and 5 transition regions
Mezoregija	Mesoregion	2	60	Not for all macro- or sub-macro regions, transition regions sometimes only one mesoregion (a total of 11 transition mesoregions)
Microregia	Microregion	3	40	Not specified for all mesoregions, 1 transitional microregion
Submicroregia	Submicroregion	4th	1

German version: Brelih et.al, 2003

At the same time, Matej Gabrovec, D. Kladnik, M. Orožen Adamič, M. Pavšek, D. Perko and M. Topole developed a simplified system, Slovenske pokrajine (1995). This only includes the four major landscapes of the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Dinarides and the Pannonian region, dispenses with the transition areas and has only 49 meso-regions, but is largely compatible with the other system apart from local differences.

The regions

(The German translations are partly established, partly only historical, partly literally translated or descriptive; partly there are no translations, only the Slovenian name is also common in German.)
