Sažetak
The soil temperature regime has been analyzed under climate change in the period 1961–2010. The analysis of the linear trend confirms the existence of a significant increase by 0.2–0.5°C/decade in mean annual soil temperature up to 100 cm for selected stations. Annual trends of maximum values at 2 cm of depth are 1–3°C/decade and generally decrease with depth. There are not so many significant annual trends of minimum soil temperature. Analysis of consecutive days with daily maximum soil temperature above 35°C shows the longest extremely warm periods in the Adriatic coast. The greatest vulnerability to cold stress (³ 10 consecutive days with minimum soil temperature £ 0°C) is marked at the stations in the mountainous and north-western Croatia. Freezing depth occurs between October and April, and absolute maximum freezing depth is 50 cm. This analysis indicates the significant increase in soil temperature, particularly in maximum soil temperature, and an increase of the affected areas due to heat stress.
