Floating islands represent residue of peat which swam out on surface of water after flooding former Vlasina peat-bog. These islands are refuges of plant and animal species characteristic from peat-bog habitats. These specific habitats destroyed to a great extent with exploitation of peat for different human needs and survival of many plant and animal species endangered.
Key words:
Floating islands, peat, endangered species, Vlasinsko lake
ANTROPOGENI UTICAJI NA ŽIVOTNU SREDINU.
STUDIJA SLUČAJA: TRESETNA OSTRVA VLASINSKOG JEZERA
Ploveća ostrva predstavljaju ostatke treseta koji su isplivali na površinu vode nakon potapanja nekadašnje vlasinske tresave. Ova ostrva su refugijumi biljnih i životinjskih vrsta karakterističnih za tresavska staništa. Eksploatacijom treseta za različite potrebe čoveka u većoj meri su uništena ova specifična staništa, čime je ugrožen opstanak mnogih retkih biljnih i životinjskih vrsta.
Ključne reči:
ploveća ostrva, treset, ugrožene vrste, Vlasinsko jezero.
