Karst regions account for 10% to 20% of ice-free land. The dissolution of rocks by natural water creates unique landscapes and underground features. Since the dawn of humanity, the surface characteristics and caves of karst have captivated human curiosity and have been a focal point of scientific research for over half a century. ACTA CARSOLOGICA publishes original research papers, reviews, letters, theses, and reports covering a range of topics related to karst, including but not limited to karst geology, hydrology, geomorphology, speleology, hydrogeology, biospeleology, and the history of karst science.

In this paper, we present the results of the geomorphological study of the micro pseudokarst landfoms developed on Pâclele Mari mud volcanic site that belongs to the famous mud volcanic area Berca-Arbănași, Buzău Subcarpathians, Romania. Different types of pseudokarstic cavity formation can be observed in the area, especially in the sloping periphery of the mud volcanic area, where badlands developed (badland pseudokarst), and rheogene pseudokarst in the mud flows. The liquid mud material gets denser and wimple on the surface of the mud that flows in the trough, it compiles and then covers the liquid mud channel. These micro-size covered tunnels are similarly formed as lava tubes at the lava flows of real volcanic areas. In order to complement the field measurements, we carried out surveys with a DJI Phantom 3 and 4, and Mavic Pro quadcopter to determine the landforms for the photogrammetry. Granular composition tests were carried out on sediment samples collected in the mud volcanic area by a laser diffraction particle analyser.

The findings of environmental history are in the service of ecology and represent an important contribution to the understanding of the sustainable management of land. The aim of this article is to shed light on the relations between the local population and the authorities regarding the afforestation of common land in Komen in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, placing them in a broader Mediterranean context. The local population was not opposed to afforestation per se, but to the prohibition of usufruct on afforested land, which had major economic consequences for the local population. Authorities did not always take into consideration the annual agricultural processes, local customs, and natural resource needs in their afforestation decisions. The prohibition of usufruct was followed by a shortage of fodder and firewood, which led to forest violations to satisfy demands. Thus, afforestation has undermined the basis of agriculture. In addition, already afforested land remained under common ownership for a relatively long time.

This study investigates the clastic fluvial sediments of the Jedovnický submerging stream in the section between the Jedovnice village and Křtinský stream (Moravian Karst, Czechia). A total of 28 samples were collected to analyze clast composition, slag content, grain size, and roundness. The sediment primarily consists of allochthonous Lower Carboniferous material (greywackes, clayey shales) with varying amounts of metallurgical slag, occasionally mixed with autochthonous deposits such as rockfall accumulations and tailings from the excavation of connecting adits. The slag content fluctuates, peaking downstream of the erosive section of the Rudické propadání cave, near the Stará řeka passage connection. Grain size distribution is influenced by both surface and cave morphology, as well as hydraulic conditions. The alternation between erosive and depositional zones, along with the unique karstic and speleorelief features, plays a crucial role in clast mobilization. These features include ponors, erosive and paragenetic corridors, sumps, and rockfalls. Fine particle accumulations are particularly noticeable in front of sumps or dams. Throughout the studied section, the proportion of coarse particles (&gt;10 mm and 5–10 mm) gradually decreases, while finer particle content increases toward the resurgence. The roundness of Carboniferous sediments remains relatively constant, although it is significantly influenced by the presence of well-rounded, weak and ductile slag clasts. Overall, both the slag content and the proportion of well-rounded and rounded clasts in the coarser fractions (&gt;10 mm and 5–10 mm) show a decreasing trend toward the resurgence.

Prof. Colin Murrell, a distinguished microbiologist and Emeritus Professor at the University of East Anglia, UK, is well known for his contributions to various areas of environmental microbiology and microbial ecology. Prof. Murrell has received several awards, including election to membership of the European Molecular Biology Organisation, the European Academy of Microbiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Distinguished Professor (Einstein) Award. He was awarded a highly prestigious European Research Council Advanced Grant and has been member of many editorial boards of leading microbiological journals including Environmental Microbiology and the ISME Journal. He has graduated over 60 PhD students and supervised around 150 researchers throughout his career. His research interests are immense, extending from the development of analytical tools in molecular microbial ecology to their testing in the field, which is reflected in his extensive publication list of over 350 highly cited papers in prestigious journals. His pioneering research has significantly improved our understanding of microbial processes in diverse environments, from soil to aquatic and marine ecosystems. More recently, he has extended his scientific curiosity to karst and caves, in particular to the Movile Cave in Romania, which represents a cornerstone for understanding the role of chemolithoautotrophy in caves.

Research of cave-dwelling diatoms is lacking. In these extreme environments, diatoms are restricted to illuminated zones, and are found at the entrance zone and in the lampenflora community. However, the number of identified species is constantly increasing, and new species are being discovered. The genus Luticola is one of the most widely studied genera worldwide and many representatives are characterized as aerophilous and are found in terrestrial habitats. For the first time, Luticola species identified from phototrophic subaerial biofilms of 10 caves in Serbia (cave entrances and lampenflora) based on detailed light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations were summarized and discussed. In total 11 representatives of the genus were identified at the species level, and morphological features of Luticola acidoclinata, L. angusta, L. frequentissima, L. dismutica, L. nivalis, L. triundulata, and L. quinquenodis were characterized in detail. For Luticola angusta, electron microscopy images are shown for the first time. Additionally, four new taxa (L. angusta, L. frequentissima, L. kopanjae, and L. poulickovae) were recorded for the diatom flora of Serbia. The study fills an important gap regarding the occurrence and characteristics of Luticola representatives in subaerial habitats.
