Extent and spatial distribution of karst in Slovenia - GIS layer, 2023

This GIS layer provides detailed information on the extent and spatial distribution of karst areas, covering 49.7% of Slovenia’s total area. The GIS output from the study of Gostinčar & Stepišnik (2023) is a comprehensive digital spatial dataset that integrates various data sources, including lithology, hydrology, and digital relief data.
