Abstract
The former Čerkezovac military barracks are located in the area of Trgovska gora in Banovina Region. In order to preserve biodiversity, inventarisation of native vascular flora was conducted during the 2021 growing season. An area of 30 km2 with a continental climate in the immediate vicinity of the Una river basin was studied. A total of 276 plant taxa within 167 genera and 60 families were identified. The most represented families are Poaceae (7.25%), Fabaceae and Lamiaceae (6.16% each). The spectrum of life forms is dominated by hemicryptophytes (51.8%) and phanerophytes (15.58%). According to the IUCN categories, eight endangered and six strictly protected species were identified, including the only one endemic species (Helleborus atrorubens Waldst. et Kit.). Six alochtonous invasive species were also recorded. The research results are a contribution to the knowledge of the flora of Croatia, and are also important for the biodiversity monitoring of the area of Trgovska gora that has not been detailed investigated till now.
