Abstract

Objekt istraživanja je drenažna mreža prostora Papuka i pridodane mu Ravne Gore. Drenažnu mrežu nekog prostora čine svi kanali kojima redovito ili povremeno teče voda. Učinjena je osnovna morfometrijska analiza reljefa. Analizirana su hipsometrijska obilježja, energija reljefa te nagibi. Potom je drenažna mreža, derivirana iz DEM-a, klasificirana prema Strahleru te su izračunati indeksi bifurkacije i dužina za sva porječja. Na porječja Brzaje i Vojlovice primjenjeni su Hortonovi zakoni. Dobiveni podaci mogu pomoći u određivanju prostora oblikovanih fluviodenudacijskim i fluvioakumulacijskim procesima. Podaci su iskorišteni u analizi anomalija dužina tokova u centralnom dijelu proučavanog prostora, na području Bijele rijeke, Brzaje, Vojlovice i Voćinke. Na kraju su rezultati sintetizirani u pokazatelju odnosa trenda energije reljefa i anomalija dužina tokova. Dobiveni rezultati mogu ukazivati da određeni dijelovi Papuka i danas doživljavaju relativno izdizanje a zapadno od Brzaje dijelovi Papučkog metamorfnog kompleksa relativno tonjenje.

Abstract (english)

The object of this paper is drainage system of Mt. Papuk with annex of Mt. Ravna Gora. Drainage system of the area is consisted by all channels through which water flow occurs, independent of frequency. Basic morphometric analysis of relief has been done. Hypsometric analysis, analysis of relative relief and slope analysis were made. Then, the drainage network, previously derived from DEM, was classified according to Strahler and Bifurcation Ratio and Lengths Ratio for every basin were made. Horton's laws were applied to basins of Brzaja and Vojlovica. Data can help in predicting the areas of overall denudation and accumulation. Gained data were used in calculations of the length’s anomalies of the flows of the 3rd category in the basins of Bijela rijeka, Brzaja, Vojlovica and Voćinka. At the end, calculated data was synthetized in the correlative and the relation between trends of length anomalies and vertical energy of relief was established. It indicates that some areas of the Mt. Papuk exhibit relative uplift and it looks like the areas lying to the west of Brzaja are in relative tectonic lag.
