Types of karren and their genesis on the Velebit mountain

Numerous karst forms are found on carbonate rocks of the Velebit Mt. ridge. There occur numerous varieties of karren ("grižine" in Croatian), whose genesis and number are conditioned by interaction of geology, climate, soils, flora and geomorphology, as well as by anthropogenic influences. The term grižine encompasses various types of small-scale corrosional forms such as various types of karren, grikes, solution pans - kamenitzas ("kamenice" in Croatian), root karren, karren wells, karst tables, pot-like karren, and the karren locally referred to as "sige" (tufa-like karren). Several types of karren display differences as a consequence of their genesis ; directly under the atmospheric water, or owing to subcutaneous corrosion of the water which was secondary enriched by soil-derived biogenic CO2.
