Abstract

The development (phenological) stages of some perennial plants and herbaceous plants as well stages of field work operation have been analysed at the mountain station Gospić during the available periods (mainly 1954–2004). The results of the linear trend analysis indicate a significant earlier blooming for plants which bloom in the second half of April and May. Those variations are the consequence of a significant increase in winter and spring insolation and air temperature.

Keywords
