Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and reg-ulates services critical to ecological health and human well-being. Subterranean ecosystems are integral to majorbiogeochemical cycles, sustain diverse surface habitats, and serve as the primary source of irrigation and drinking water.They also offer non-material benefits, including scientific discovery, education, and cultural practices. Yet, these contri-butions often go unrecognised, partly due to the lack of a unified synthesis of ecosystem services across terrestrial, fresh-water, and marine subterranean compartments. This gap limits effective communication of their value to scientists,practitioners, and the public. Through a systematic expert-based review, we show that subterranean ecosystems contrib-ute to up to 75% of classified ecosystem services. Notably, many of these contributions are described only qualitatively,lacking numerical or economic quantification. Next, we list examples of the main ecosystem services provided by subter-ranean systems to offer a global overview of their multifaceted value and vulnerability to environmental change. Webelieve this synthesis provides researchers and practitioners with concrete examples to communicate more effectivelythe importance of subterranean ecosystems to diverse audiences.

2. Communicating the value of nature services today for tomorrowTjaša Baloh, Boris Rantaša, ni določena Povzetek: To ensure appreciation of forest related nature‘s services, they must be presented to the public in an appropriate way. Humans are usually not willing to pay for something they consider as ‘free goods’. The challenge is changing the mind-set through awareness-raising. A good communication strategy should convey the message as a tangible concern that contributes to the quality of our lives. Communicating nature’s services will help understand the benefits we gain and joy and pleasure they can give us if we treat them with knowledge, respect and wisdom. The actions taken in the past are not giving the results we need. A multi-stakeholder approach can harness the creativity from stakeholders through solution driven dialogue. In the LIFEGENMON project (Life for Forest Genetic Monitoring System) coordinated by Slovenian Forestry Institute, the multi-stakeholder approach is used to communicate the forest related nature’s services and importance of genetic resources. A clear visual and verbal communication brings the key project messages to life. To forge meaningful connections with core stakeholders it is essential to use compelling and targeted messages. Ultimately, the results will demonstrate the value of engaging supporters in co-creating communications to extend reach and impact.

3. Common lands, shared futures: the importance of ecosystem services, justice, and sustainability through community land managementDaniela Ribeiro, Mateja Šmid Hribar, Conor Kretsch, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: This editorial article introduces the special issue "The importance of common lands' management for sustaining ecosystem services". This special issue explores the dynamics of common lands and their role in providing ecosystem services, highlighting the interplay between local management and the environmental and social benefits they engender at both local and regional scales. It addresses an underexplored field through conceptual and empirical studies on provisioning and regulating ecosystem services of common lands. Effective management relies on the integration of local knowledge and participatory decision-making, yet faces challenges such as lack of recognition in policy, institutional silos, technical capacity and data gaps, cadastral uncertainty and conflict management.

4. Phytosociological analysis of Gladiolus palustris sites in northwestern, western and southwestern SloveniaIgor Dakskobler, Andrej Seliškar, Branko Vreš, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: With a phytosociological analysis of more than 200 relevés on more than 25 localities with Gladiolus palustrisand (or) G. illyricusin western and southwestern Slovenia we identified more than 15 communities of association rank that belong to at least eight vegetation alliances and five classes. We determined that these two species can grow on the same localities and sites, but Gladiolus palustrisflowers at least 14 days after G. illyricus. Another reliable distinguishing characteristic is the fibrous tunic covering the corm. Gladiolus palustris is threatened in most of the examined localities, except for the Banjšice Plateau and the Slavnik range in Čičarija, but the current nature conservation policy in Slovenia does not provide for its preservation.

5. Nature set : qualitative and quantitative representation of elementsSovan Samanta, Kousik Das, Vivek Kumar Dubey, Leo Mršić, Antonios Kalampakas, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Classical sets are characterized by ‘well-defined’ objects or elements, but this property is relative and linguistic.Classical sets, like the set of natural numbers, are primarily used for counting and measuring quantitative data. However,the literature does not address the differences in the representation of cardinalities between infinite sets and their infinitesubsets. This study investigates the cardinalities of infinite sets and their finite versions (cut cardinalities) within thefiniteapproximation ofthe real number system. Traditional fuzzy sets measure only belongingness or membership values, thuscapturing qualitative data. In the second part, this study introduces nature sets, which describe both the quantitative andqualitative aspects of elements. Quality measurement is provided by various techniques. Several properties of nature setsare examined, and potential applications are highlighted.

7. A contribution to the vascular and bryophyte flora of the upper Neretva and Zalomka river valleys (Bosnia and Herzegovina)Đorđije Milanović, Simona Strgulc Krajšek, Jugoslav Brujić, Ivan Juraj Čehulić, Valentin Heimer, Dragan Koljanin, Marija Kravanja, Ivana Rešetnik, Vladimir Stupar, Peter Schönswetter, Božo Frajman, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: etween 1st and 6th June 2023, we conducted floristic research on sev-eral sites in the upper Neretva River valley and along Zalomka River at Nevesinjsko Polje. We recorded 933 taxa in total; 897 plant taxa including 125 bryophytes were found at 51 localities in the upper Neretva River val-ley, and 200 plant taxa, including 32 bryophytes, were found at 11 sites in the Zalomka River valley. Among the registered taxa, 39 taxa are endemic to the Balkan Peninsula, 56 are listed in the List of endangered and rare taxa of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 27 are on the Red List of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and 95 taxa are protected in the Republic of Srpska. We also registered several species new to the flora of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among Angiosperms these were Barbarea intermedia, Lamium hybridum, Myosotis sicula and Poa ursina, and among bryophytes Fissidens gracilifolius, Grimmia dissimulata, Plagiomnium ellipticum, Schistidium robustum, Sphenolobus minutus, Tortella fasciculata and T. pseudofragilis. Our study reveals the high nature conservation value of the upper Neretva and Zalomka River valleys that should be protected for future generations. In addition, further systematic research of the flora of Bosnia and Herzegovina is needed Ključne besede: angiosperms, mosses, nature conservation, Neretva River, vegetation, are species Objavljeno v DiRROS: 16.10.2025; Ogledov: 380; Prenosov: 217

10. Management of nature-based goods and services provisioning from the urban common: a pan-European perspectiveAbhishek Tiwary, Urša Vilhar, Miglena Zhiyanski, Vladimir Stojanovski, Lucian Dinca, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The role of the urban common (i.e. shared space and resources) in sustainable provisioning of goods and services to city dwellers is discussed in this paper. Focusing on tree-based green infrastructure, the study scope includes three categories of provisioning (woody biomass, food/fibre, and non-timber forest products, i.e. NTFPs), alongside three categories of supporting services (fresh water replenishment, soil nutrient restoration, building preservation). As a first step, prospects of utilizing the urban common as facilitator of nature-based solution to the earmarked provisioning services are evaluated through dedicated literature survey and expert elicitation on perceived impact of environmental change triggers and management interventions (planning and/or governance). This is followed by a structured review of the state of affairs in four European cities (London, Amsterdam, Sofia, Ljubljana), representing different macro-geographical regions with distinct socio-economic drivers in managing these provisioning services. The pan-European expert elicitation exercise noted active management of the urban common as positively impacting on the performance of the majority of provisioning services, while environmental change impacts were found to be overriding and adversely influencing the provisioning of material resources (mainly NTFPs and woody biomass). The four-city case study highlighted some regional peculiarities in connecting the city dwellers to the urban common and identified the need to overcome socio-cultural barriers for enhancing pan-European best practice sharing in the management of goods and services provisioning. This is deemed essential to pave way for an emerging perspective on sustainable utilization of the urban common as an enabler for nature-based solution, making it fit for purpose in meeting the astronomical demands of future urban living.
