Abstract

Temeljni fenomeni Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera su šumski ekosustavi i voda. Klimatske promjene utječu na oba fenomena ovog nacionalnog parka. Jedno od obilježja promjene klime su sve učestalija sušna razdoblja. Različitim metodama analizirana je učestalost i trajanje suše, trend glavnih klimatskih elemenata i indeksa suše te trend vodostaja vodotoka na području nacionalnog parka. Tijekom četrdesetogodišnjeg razdoblja ukupno je bilo deset sušnih godina. Količine oborina i srednje godišnje temperature zraka povećavale su se na području meteorološke postaje Korenica. Statistički značajno su se povećavali i trendovi indeksa suše prema vlažnijim uvjetima. Za analizirano vremensko razdoblje na području istraživanja broj sušnih mjeseci se smanjivao, ali ovaj trend nije bio statistički značajan. Neki vodotoci imaju trend povećanja, a neki trend smanjenja srednjih vodostaja. Utvrđena je povezanost indeksa suše te broja sušnih mjeseci i vodostaja vodotoka. S obzirom na trend oborina, suše i vodostaja, na području Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera trebalo bi biti dovoljno vode na raspolaganju šumskom drveću i vodotocima.

Abstract (english)

The fundamental phenomena of the Plitvice Lakes National Park are forest ecosystems and water. Climate change affects both phenomena of this national park. One of the characteristics of climate change is increasingly frequent dry periods. The frequency and duration of drought, the trend of the main climatic elements and the drought index, and the trend of water levels in the national park were analyzed using different methods. During the forty-year period, there were a total of ten dry years. The amount of precipitation and the average annual air temperature increased in the area of the meteorological station Korenica. Drought index trends towards wetter conditions also increased statistically significantly. For the analyzed time period in the research area, the number of dry months decreased, but this trend was not statistically significant. Some watercourses have a trend of increasing, and some have a trend of decreasing mean water levels. The connection between the drought index and the number of dry months and the water level of watercourses was determined. Considering the trend of precipitation, drought and water level, there should be enough water available for forest trees and watercourses in the area of the Plitvice Lakes National Park.
