Abstract
The paper presents research results concerning the ornamental arboreal plants in gardens on the territory of the town of Skradin, located in Northern Dalmatia, on the right bank of the Krka River, in Šibenik-Knin County. The town of Skradin covers an area of 186.79 km2 where 21 settlements are located. Urban gardens in the territory of Skradin are mostly informally designed and landscaped. Utilitarian and ornamental species have been planted and in general they do not show good compositional features. During the floristic research conducted in May 2016, Skradin gradens of diverse size were analysed and 74 species were recorded with the predominance of . Angiospermae (66 species; 89.19 %), amongst which Dicotyledoneae (59; 79.73 %) exceeded Monocotyledoneae (7; 9.46 %). Gymnospermae were represented with 8 species (10.81 %). The species were grouped into 36 families. The Rosaceae family stands out with the greatest number of species (13 species; 17.57 %). Upon the dendroflora analysis concerning the type of habitas (according to Erhardt et al.., 2002) shrub-like forms are dominant (33 species; 44.59 %), followed by trees (31 species; 41.89 %), half shrubs (3 species; 4.05 %), half shrubs-succulents (1 species; 1.35 %) and creepers (6 species; 8.11 %). Coniferous species (41; 55.40 %) are more frequent compared with deciduous species (33; 44.59 %). Out of 74 species amongst the analysed dendroflora in Skradin 15 species (20.27 %) are autochthonous.
