Abstract

Povećanjem populacije divljih svinja (Sus scrofa) u Europi i Svijetu povećao se i broj šteta u određenim područjima. Na području lovišta III/29 „Prolom“ praćenjem stanja livada primijećeno je da određene livadne površine divlje svinje ruju redovito, dok neke livade ostaju netaknute. Cilj rada je utvrditi da li fizikalni i kemijski indikatori tla utječu na preferenciju rovanja. Uzorkovanje je obavljeno na području lovišta, a analiza tla je obavljena na Zavodu za opću proizvodnju bilja, na Agronomskom fakultetu u Zagrebu. Iz dobivenih rezultata može se zaključiti da nije pronađena bitna razlika u kemijskom sastavu tla između rovanih i ne rovanih livada. Značajnija razlika uvidjela se u koncentraciji sumpora (S). Prosječna koncentracija sumpora na rovanim livadama je 0,097 ± 0,032, a na ne rovanim livadama 0,070 ± 0,014 s p vrijednosti od 0,009. Podaci dobiveni kroz ovakvo istraživanje u budućnosti mogu pridonijeti boljem gospodarenju populacijom divljih svinja, sprečavanjem nastanka šteta koje nastaju rovanjem te boljem poznavanju biologije i ekologije te vrste divljači.

Abstract (english)

As the population of wild boars (Sus scrofa) increased throughout Europe and the World in general, so did the amount of damages done in certain areas. On hunting ground III/29 “Prolom”, by observing the condition of the meadows, it was noticed that certain meadow areas are being dug by wild boars regularly, whilst some remain intact. The purpose of this thesis is to determine if the chemical composition of the soil impacts wild boar’s choice of digging location. Sampling of the soil was conducted on hunting grounds, and the analysis was performed at the Department of General Agronomy at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Agriculture. Results show no significant differences in chemical composition of the soil between the dug and the un-dug meadows. A more significant difference was detected in sulphur (S) concentrations in the soil. In burrowed meadows the average concentration of sulphur was 0.097 ± 0.032, and in non-burrowed meadows was 0.070 ± 0.014 with a p value of 0.009. Data gathered through this type of research can contribute to better management and better understanding of biology and ecology of wild boar population and prevention of damages that occurred by their digging.
