Sažetak
Environmental changes and anthropogenic disturbance can cause variations in marine ecosystems. It is deduced that ongoing changes could have a stronger and faster effect on small and enclosed seas than other seas and oceans. Research in long-term ecological changes in the Adriatic basin, based on analysis of historical data, was carried on with aim to contribute to a better understanding of vulnerabilities and ongoing changes. In order to do that, different datasets have been analyzed, considering in the same time the complexity of available data and interconnections between different parameters. Obtained results show that the northern Adriatic Sea has been influenced by a generalized warming of air temperature, together with changes in precipitation pattern and a varying of Po river runoff, variations of thermohaline and biogeochemical properties in the northern Adriatic, which in turn drive marine ecosystems changes.
