Sažetak
As part of the project Preservation of biological diversity in the Adriatic Sea the climatic conditions and climatic variability in the marine park Silba in the period 1964-1993 have been analysed. As amount of precipitation, evaporation and soil moisture greatly affect the island flora, the mean annual values balance components (potential and actual evapotranspiration and moisture loss from the soil) have been calculated by the Palmer method. According to linear trend analyses and the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test, the existence of a significant trend of potential evapotranspiration (decrasing chronology) and relative air humidity (incrasing chronology) has been established during the last 30 year. A tendency towards decrase in precipitation amount and actual evapotranspiration has also been observed, but the linear trends are not significant at the 0, 005 level. significant linear trends in air temperature and soil moisture loss do not occur.
