Poljes are very common karst depressions especially in the Dinaric Karst. Despite their many common characteristics, they occur in very different karst environments and function in various ways. The research presents a new typification of poljes, which simplifies the previous ones. It defines the poljes according to the geomorphological environment in which they occur as inundated, overflow, infl owand preglacial poljes. In the research, we defined all 35 karst poljes in Slovenia on the basis of the new typification.
