Sažetak
Research area is situated on the island of Pag (Adriatic sea). Calcareous and dolomite mould and rocky karst terrain are the most common soil types on the island’ s pastures. Large areas of pastures on these soil types are exposed to vegetation succession with species of genus Juniperus, which lead to macchia domination. Because of inappropriate grazing management and abandonment of traditional sheep farming models, pastures on island are endangered habitats. Research of dynamics of rocky pasture vegetation was carried out by remote sensing technique. Vegetation dynamics research showed that rocky pasture area on the island of Pag in period from 1963 to 2004 has reduced by 25.08 km2.
