The use of explosive munitions on the segment of Isonzo front between Škabrijel and Gulf of Trieste and their impact on soils

Soška fronta je bila en od najbolj intenzivnih vojaških spopadov na ozemlju današnje Slovenije. Uporaba eksplozivnih izstrelkov v spopadih ni le spremenila oblike površja v okolici eksplozij, ampak je tudi vplivala na lastnosti prsti. S pomočjo opisov v literaturi in kartografskih virov smo identificirali lokacije večjih koncentracij topništva in približna obstreljevana območja. Na podlagi predhodnih študij smo določili območja, kjer so posledice eksplozij najverjetneje vidne še danes in dopolnili model za iskanje kotanj, da je z večjo verjetnostjo zaznal kraterje. S pomočjo terenskega dela smo pridobljene podatke uporabili za lociranje kraterjev. V njih in bližnji okolici smo analizirali predvsem fizične lastnosti prsti in rezultate primerjali s študijami, izvedenimi na drugih lokacijah prve svetovne vojne.The Isonzo front was one of the most intense military conflicts on the territory of present-day Slovenia. The use of explosive munitions in the fighting not only changed the surface around the blast, but also impacted the characteristics of the soils. Using literature and cartographic material, we have identified the locations of major artillery concentrations and the approximate areas shelled. Based on previous studies, we identified areas where the effects of the explosions are most likely still visible today and somewhat modified the model to detect craters with higher accuracy. We used the data to locate the craters in the field work. We analyzed the physical characteristics of the soil in craters and the surrounding area and compared results with studies carried out at other WWI sites
