“…A comparison between orograp�y and t�e altimetric distribution of cave passages is often very useful to understand t�e evolutionary p�ases of a karst system, (Piccini 1998;Piccini et al 2003;Mayer et al 2003;Ant�ony & Granger 2007). For t�is reason, a geomorp�o-logical survey of t�e w�ole area was performed by aerial p�oto interpretation and by field surveys.…”

IzvlečekUDK 551.435.8(450.52) Giampaolo Mariannelli & Leonardo Piccini: Razvoj površin-ske in podzemne odtočne mreže na kraških območjih Corfino in Sorragio Pania di Corfino in Ripa di Soraggio sta dva manjša kraška območja v Toskani. Površine območij znašajo 11 km 2 , vendar je na nji� znani� preko 100 jam. Obstoj stari� epifreatični� galerij priča o nezveznem zniževanju nivoja erozijske baze dolin rek Serc�io di Soraggion in Fiume, ki sekata karbonatno območje na SZ oziroma JV meji masiva. Glavne jame so razporejene v višinskem obsegu 500 m. Povezava leg jam in položaja aluvialni� sedimentov, nam je omogočila sklepanje o razvoju območja v poznem kvartarju. če predpostavimo odlaganje fluvialnega gradiva v mrzli� obdobji� in vrezovanje rečni� dolin v topli� obdobji�, la�ko sklepamo, da so nezvezno razporejeni epifreatični rovi nastali ob pre�odi� iz enega v drugo obdobje. Poleg tega je na razvoj jamski� sistemov vplivala tudi preureditev rečne mreže ob tektonskem dvigu. Strukturnomorfološki pogoji so narekovali razvoj podzemnega odtoka skozi masiv, preko katerega so površinski vodotoki z ene strani masiva napajali vodotoke na drugi strani, ki so se posledično �itreje urezovali. Ves proces je napredoval gorvodno in ustvaril niz stari� ponorov, izvirov in pripadajoči� fosilni� jamski� galerij. Ključne besede: kras, speleogeneza, reliktne jame, Pania di Corfino, severni Apenini. The Pania di Corfino and Ripa di Soraggio are two minor karst areas in Tuscany, �aving a surface of only 11 km 2 , but contain more t�an 100 known caves. Some caves are old epi-p�reatic passages testifying to a discontinuous lowering of base level in t�e two major valleys t�at cross t�e carbonate outcrops: t�e Serc�io di Soraggio and t�e Fiume rivers, respectively located along t�e Nw and SE borders of t�e massif. The spatial-altimetric distribution of major caves, w�ic� are found on a vertical range of a few �undreds of meters, and t�eir relations�ips wit� t�e position of surface alluvial deposits �ave allowed to infer a first evolutionary framework of karst during t�e late quaternary. If we refer to a simple model, w�ere fluvial deposition occurs mainly during cold stages and incision during warm stages, t�e discrete distribution of cave passages suggests t�at t�e different epi-p�reatic p�ases are t�e responses to t�e alternation of cold and warm periods. In any case, t�e re-organization of t�e river network induced by t�e tectonic uplift �ad a relevant effect on cave systems. First, t�e underground diversion of surface drainage en�anced t�e downcutting of Nw and SE perip�eral streams, w�ic� received a larger quantity of water t�roug� karst springs due to t�e favored morp�o-structural setting. Successively, t�e backward piracy of t�e allogenic catc�ments of t�e karst systems by surface tributaries led to t�e dewatering of caves and to t�e present situation.

“…4). This is the result of alternating erosion and deposition controlled by successive Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles during a steady, regional tectonic uplift (Cattuto, 1976;Bocchini and Coltorti, 1990;Galdenzi and Menichetti, 1995;Mayer et al, 2003;Cyr and Granger, 2008;Wegman and Pazzaglia, 2008). Some large rooms, such as the 250 m high Abisso Ancona (estimated at 10 6 m 3 ), were created by the collapse of the thin rock layers separating the hypogean levels.…”

Rich, diverse assemblages comprising a total (live + dead) of twenty-one ostracod species belonging to fifteen genera were recovered from phreatic waters of the hypogenic Frasassi Cave system and the adjacent Frasassi sulfidic spring and Sentino River in the Marche region of the northeastern Apennines of Italy. Specimens were recovered from ten sites, eight of which were in the phreatic waters of the cave system and sampled at different times of the year over a period of five years. Approximately 6900 specimens were recovered, the vast majority of which were disarticulated valves; live ostracods were also collected. The most abundant species in the sulfidic spring and Sentino River were Prionocypris zenkeri, Herpetocypris chevreuxi, and Cypridopsis vidua, while the phreatic waters of the cave system were dominated by two putatively new stygobitic species of Mixtacandona and Pseudolimnocythere and a species that was also abundant in the sulfidic spring, Fabaeformiscandona ex gr. F. fabaeformis. Pseudocandona ex gr. P. eremita, likely another new stygobitic species, is recorded for the first time in Italy. The relatively high diversity of the ostracod assemblages at Frasassi could be attributed to the heterogeneity of groundwater and associated habitats or to niche partitioning promoted by the creation of a chemoautotrophic ecosystem based on sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Other possible factors are the geologic age and hydrologic conditions of the cave and karst aquifer system that possibly originated in the earlymiddle Pleistocene when topographic uplift and incision enabled deep sulfidic waters to reach the local carbonate aquifer. Flooding or active migration would have introduced the invertebrates that now inhabit the Frasassi Cave system.

“…In the Miocene a compressive phase originated anticlines and synclines (like the Subasio Mountain) followed, since Pliocene, by uplift with an extensional tectonic phase affecting the entire area. Because of this, a sharp increase of energy relief has forced the entrenchment of the stream network resulting in headward and stream erosion and with the simultaneous triggering of landslides along the slopes (Malinverno & Ryan, 1986, Mayer et al, 2003.…”
