(c) uneven relief with steep slopes and very diversified landscapes;

Applying the standard Central European phytosociological method, we researched holm oak Quercus ilex L. sites at its northernmost localities in Slovenia on the slopes of Mount Sabotin above the Soèa Valley and above the source of the Lijak River in the Vipava Valley.

Rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation

Siliceous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation

Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation

Field work was accomplished during the highway construction between 1996 and 1997.

Narrow bands of Tomaj limestone can be traced also in the southwestern slopes of the Raša valley.

The thickness of the limestone of the Vreme and Kozina facies is considerably lower in the north slopes of the Raša valley.

On a much more modest scale mining was active in the western slope of Podbreška Sopada south of Štorje.

Stable xerothermophilous formations with Buxus sempervirens on rock slopes ( Berberidion p.p.)

Since that valley is bordered by steep slopes of relative elevation reaching even above 700 m, the polluted air is directed mostly northwards along the valley, and not eastwards or westwards.

In southwest slopes of the Raša valley the thickness of these beds diminishes radically, and south of Veliko polje they completely thin out.

Carboniferous beds, enriched with cinnabar and native Hg, lie below the center of Idrija, and they outcrop in slopes of Kurji vrh and lower part of Pront (Čar, 1998). The Skonca beds and tuffites are exposed on Pront between Karnik and Albreht (Čar, 1998).

A light sea breeze constantly mixes the fragrances of the city and drives them to the slopes of Vesuvius and sways the flowers adorning the countless street chapels with images of saints to whom Neapolitans pray for intercession.

Situation (e. g. slope, plain, exposed to sun):

Sub-region Yecla Campo Arriba (areas planted with the variety Monastrell situated on slopes or plateaus)

the land application of fertilizer to steeply sloping ground;

Chasmophytic vegetation on rocky slopes

uneven relief with steep slopes and very diversified landscapes;

2 Limited exposure (plots near forest edge, on slopes, etc.)

In special sites with evident influence of one orientation (e.g. steep slopes or strong dominant wind) only one orientation is sampled, which always has to be the same.
