Sažetak
In the last decades, there is an increasing number of studies dealing with long term changes in marine environment and impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities on marine ecosystems in different world regions. Due to its geomorphologic characteristics, emphasized shallowness and sensitivity to changes, the Adriatic Sea, and particularly its northern sub-basin, shows quicker and earlier responses in comparison with other seas, therefore it is a perfect model of research area for studying the environmental variations and responses of marine ecosystems to different impacts. Ph.D. research in long-term ecological changes in the Adriatic basin, based on analysis of historical trends of environmental and biological factors, was carried on with aim to contribute to a better understanding of the actual status of Adriatic Sea ecosystem in function of changes that have happened in the past. In order to understand ongoing changes and to determinate vulnerabilities of Adriatic Sea, more than 1878000 data from different datasets have been analyzed, considering in the same time the complexity of available data and interconnections between different parameters. For this reason, analysis included in this Ph.D. research work are essentially based on climatological analysis of air temperature, precipitation, Po River inflow, sea temperature, salinity, nutrient concentration, pH and chlorophyll for the period of the last 40 years, together with decadal changes in biological components like small pelagics and demersal resources. Although the area included in this research has been object of different studies for centuries, it was very difficult to find available datasets, because most of collected data were not published, were not available or were not quantitative.
