Sažetak
Within the implementation of the action plan for conservation of the aquatic and wetland habitats, floristic field research has been carried out in the area of Kopački rit Nature Park between 2010-2011. Result is an updated inventory list of vascular plants recorded in various terrestrial, aquatic and wetland habitats of the Kopački rit, comprising in total 446 taxa which makes 8, 3% related to 5, 347 taxa of vascular flora of Croatia. Rufous Bulrush (Scirpus pendulus) has been found, which is the first record of this adventive species for the Croatian flora. Such plant diversity is typical for the riverine wetlands. An assessment of the conservation status of plant species has been made. The number of rare, endangered or protected plants is 112 species or 25% of total flora and many of these species were found at new localities. Red Book of Vascular Flora of Croatia includes 38 plant taxa ; among which 5 as critically endangered, 7 as endangered, and 12 as vulnerable. Additional 14 species are listed as near threatened or data defficient categories. Causes for changes in biodiversity in Kopački rit Nature Park are: increased fluctuations in flooding intensity of the Danube River, prolongation of a dry season, accumulation of bedloads and natural succession of the marshland.
