Effects of geoecological factors on vegetation of the Gruža basin

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of the effects of geoecological factors on the vegetation of the Gruža basin (F=618.6 kmІ). In the first phase, geoecological factors were identified and their differentiation to physical geographic (geological structure, tectonics, relief, climate, waters, types of land) and anthropogeographic factors (activities of population) was carried out. In the second phase, their influence on vegetation was defined, and in the third phase, the condition in the Gruža basin was analyzed on the basis of topographic and thematic maps using GIS methodology.
