Sažetak
The Lika River is located in the central part of the Dinaric karst of Croatia. It is 78 km long and it has a basin with an area of approximately 1570 km2. The aquatic plants of the Lika River Basin have never before been systematically studied. Here, we present the results of a floristic study of aquatic plant diversity of the Lika River and its tributaries Bogdanica, Jadova and Novčica. This study is based on fieldwork carried out during the spring and summer of 2022. It was established that there were 34 species of autochthonous vascular aquatic plants, classified into 28 genera and 23 families. The families with the greatest number of species were buttercup family (Ranunculaceae, 11.8%), umbellifers (Apiaceae, 8.8%) and grasses (Poaceae, 8.8%). The life-forms spectrum is dominated by hemicryptophytes (52.9%) and hydrophytes (44.1%) which is characteristic of moist and aquatic habitats. We recorded the occurrence of four endangered plant species: Hippuris vulgaris, Menyanthes trifoliata and Ranunculus lingua are endangered (EN), while Glyceria fluitans are vulnerable (VU). These threatened four species are also statutorily protected plants, as well as the species Utricularia vulgaris. The results of this research show that the Lika River Basin is an essential enrichment of plant diversity, indicating the need to preserve and protect the area investigated.
