Natural and artificial energy flows in forest and agricultural landscapes of Kočevsko

Pirnat, Janez (author)

The cultural landscape is characterized by different proportions of natural and artificial energy inputs. The article compares energy flows in agricultural ecosystems and forests. The study site was in the Kočevje region in the sample year 1993. The border research area covered 762 km2 of the former Municipality of Kočevje, while a detailed investigation was carried out in a sample area of 353 km. The aim of the study was to examine natural energy input, specifically incoming solar radiation, and artificial energy inputs that include human labour and machine work, spare parts, depreciation of machinery, and material input asforms of energy input.

• Title: Naravni in umetni energijski tokovi v gozdnih in kmetijskih ekosisitemih Kočevske

Abstract

Razmerja med naravno prispelimi in umetno vnesenimi energijskimi tokovi se značilno razlikujejo med različnimi ekosistemi v kulturni krajini. V pričujočem članku smo primerjali energijske tokove v kmetijskih ekosistemih in gozdovih na Kočevskem, v vzorčnem letu 1993. Naravno prispelo energijo daje sončno obsevanje, umetno vneseno pa strojno in ročno delo, rezervni deli in amortizacija ter snovni vnosi, ki smo jih obravnavali kot energijo.
