COST action FP0703 – ECHOES Expected Climate Change and Options for European Silviculture - Country report Croatia

Report presents ovierview of state of forests in Croatia, observed and expected impacts of climate changes and adaptation and mitigation activities present in the country. One of predicted consequences of climate change is a change in the spatial distribution of forest vegetation cover, the possible disappearance of particular forest species and forest types or the appearance of introduced ones. Predictions of future vegetation distribution in relation to climate change scenarios are relatively scarce and simple.The records of historic extreme events which cause significant forest decline of the main tree species in Croatia (Quercus robur, Abies alba, Fagus silvatica) exist for time period from the beginning of the last century and are important to keep in sight of footprints regarding climate change progression.
