A polje , also called karst polje or karst field , is a large flat plain found in karstic geological regions of the world, with areas usually in the range of 5–400 km (2–154 sq mi). The name derives from the Slavic languages , where polje literally means 'field', whereas in English polje specifically refers to a karst plain or karst field.

The structure of some poljes is related to the geological structure, but others are purely the result of lateral dissolution and planation . The development of poljes is fostered by any blockage in the karst drainage. A polje covers the flatbottomed lands of closed basins which may extend over large areas, up to 1,000 km .

310-658: A polje may consist of bare limestone, of a nonsoluble formation (as with rolling topography), or of soil. A polje typically shows complex hydrogeological characteristics such as exsurgences , estavelles , swallow holes, and lost rivers . In colloquial use, the term "polje" designates flat-bottomed lands which are overgrown or are under cultivation. The Dinaric Karst has many poljes. They are mostly distributed in subtropical and tropical latitudes but some also appear in temperate or, rarely, boreal regions. Usually covered with thick sediments , called "terra rossa", they are used extensively for agricultural purposes. Some poljes of
