Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Main geomorphological, biogeographical, and climatological regions of Croatia. Region I belongs to the Pannonian Plain, with subregion Ia comprising hilly areas and subregion Ib being a flat lowland. Region II belongs to the Dinaric Alps. In subregion IIa, the climate is cold continental and vegetation is subalpine, whereas in subregion IIb, karst prevails, and the climate is Mediterranean. Region III is Mediterranean in both climate and vegetation. In subregion IIIa the influence of regions I and II is stronger than in subregion IIIb. Sizeable areas of dense forests are indicated by letter F
