Frosted grass mounds-tufurs on the Pešter peripheral area

Abstract

When new localities with active periglacial processes are discovered, that leads to detailed study of these areas that is multidisciplinary in character. Especially interesting are results of climatologic research where climatic or frost potentials were used to determine the climatic conditions necessary for appearance of frost grass mounds. This is not strictly connected only with conditions on Pešter, but has a universal character. The newly recorded locality, complete with the geomorphologic patterns of periglacial relief in the southern foothills of Trojan on Pešter, is very interesting for broader scientific community, and is suggested for protection so it could be studied and promoted further.

Otkrivanje novih lokaliteta sa aktivnim periglacijalnim procesima dovodi do njihovog detaljnijeg istraživanja multidisciplinarnog karaktera. Posebno su interesantni rezultati klimatoloških istraživanja, gde se putem mraznog potencijala došlo do preduslova za pojavu mraznih travnih humki. To nije strogo namenjeno uslovima na Pešteru, već ima univerzalni karakter. Novootkrivena lokacija sa geomorfološkim oblicima periglacijalnog reljefa na južnom podnožju Trojana na Pešteru je veoma interesantna i za širu naučnu javnost i predlaže se za zaštitu radi daljih istraživanja i promocije.
