Sažetak
The protection of habitats is an integral part of the wildlife and nature conservation in the European Union member states, including the Republic of Croatia. The updated digital Terrestrial Habitat Map of Croatia (delivered in December, 2016), gives the spatial overview of natural and semi-natural, non-forest terrestrial and inland freshwater habitats at scale 1:25 000. The field validation of habitats was carried out in eastern part of Croatia during 2015 and 2016. Total 5, 032 field points were collected by using tablet with a GIS/GPS and Habitat Mapper application. The composition and distribution of the main habitat type classes were analyzed in the surveyed area in size of 10, 262.02 km2. Prevailing habitats belongs into categories: Cultivated habitats (47.4%), Forests (40.0%), Constructed and industrial habitats (3.59%), Inland surface water and wetlands (3.54%), Grasslands (2.83%), and Scrubs (2.59%). Knowledge on habitat structure makes an important tool in planning measures for maintaining a favorable conservation status of habitats in eastern Croatia and sustainable management with natural resources in agriculture, forestry, hunting and fisheries
