Napajanje podzemne vode kot osnova za ugotavljanje ekosistemskih storitev na skupnih zemljiščih: primer Primorske v Sloveniji

The objective of this analysis is to assess groundwater ecosystem services and collect available data, with a particular focus on the supply side of their provision in common lands. The assessment of the state and trends of its recharge is conducted using the water balance model mGROWA. The study focuses on the period from 1972 to 2023 and the Primorska region due to the availability of both, spatial and temporal data for groundwater recharge and for forests on common lands. Based on the findings, we propose to recognise and support agrarian communities as large land proprietors practising the sustainable management of natural resources, underpinned by a benefit-sharing paradigm as stakeholders in groundwater management.
