Projections according to WHITE PAPER, Adapting to climate change: Towards a European
framework for action, indicate that the increase of average global temperature and the
concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will result in huge changes in the structure
of the ecosystems and their functions. Further more there will be changes of ecological
interactions and changes of geographical diameters with dominant negative consequences to
biodiversity.
Bearing in mind forthcoming changes as well as the fact that woody taxa exist in fixed
environment conditions (among which climate factors are dominant) paper researches and
analyzes presence and adaptability of decorative woody species of Mediterranean floral
element in Belgrade urban coenosis within conditions of changed temperate continental
climate. The researched group consists of 13 taxa with 383 individuals. Two species from
subdivision Pinophyta and 11 from subdivision Magnoliophyta.
The research has proved the increase of number of woody species of Mediterranean floral
element on Belgrade green areas but also their adaptability to conditions of changed temperate
continental climate. The analysis so far has reflected the urge of further researches in order to
check the volume of acclimatization through the long term of studying and tracking of
phenological changes which would provide the basics for creating bioclimatic maps.
