Abstract
Suva Planina Mt. is a part of the Carpatho-Balkanides of Eastern Serbia. It encompasses the area of 427 km2, striking in NW-SE direction at the length of 43 km. Out of the total area of the mountain, limestones cover about 60%, mostly in the central part. The landform types include paleofluvial, fluvial, slope, as well as surface and underground Karst forms. The largest number of landforms are Karst dolines (1227 mapped), based on the official topographical map at the scale 1:25,000). Morphometric characteristics of doline-covered areas have been determined using the SRTM DEM (90 m resolution). According to the genetic classification, the dolines belong to the solution, collapse and suffosion types, while morphographically, they are funnel-like and bowl-like. Apart from these standard types, the "open" dolines, missing a part of their rims, are present as well. Regarding the spatial distribution, they are unevenly scattered. Hypsometrically, they are present from 480 and 1704 m a.s.l. The densities are in the span 1-21 per km2 (Valožje area). The main factors of spatial distribution are lithological composition, rock fractures and slope inclinations. The land cover mainly consists of woods and pastures, without intensive agricultural activities. According to the land use, the dolines on Suva planina are under forest cover and mountain pastures.
