| Fires in Forests and Forestlands as Habitat Degradation Factors pdf HR EN | 475 | |
| Summary: Forests of the Croatian part of Mediterranean are divided into Eumediterranean and sub-Mediterranean zone and cover the area of 870 000 ha. During the centuries they have been destroyed by fires which resulted in unfavourable edaphic, hydrological, temperature and other ecological conditions. Together with forest destruction, the soil is destroyed, too, so the succession, i.e. the forest regeneration lasts extremely long and requires hard work. The problems of fire in forests and forest land are particularly actual in the Republic of Croatia since the 80-ies of the 20th century when most forest areas were burnt in the Mediterranean part of our coast. The significant factor of destruction of forest fires in Zadar, Šibenik, Split and Dubrovnik were war activities during the Patriotic War (1991-1995). On the average, about 4 000 ha of forests burn in Croatia every year. In almost 90 % of cases, open space fires are caused by a human factor, either by burning weeds on the agricultural areas, throwing butts, burning illegal waste dumps, etc. According to the Law on fire prevention ("Official Gazette", no. 58/93), the Government of the Republic of Croatia brings the Programme of activities in carrying out special fire prevention measures of interest for the Republic of Croatia. The Programme determines performers and carriers of certain tasks, which are: the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the State Inspectorate, Meteorological and Hydrological Service, "Hrvatske šume" d.o.o. (Croatian Forests) Zagreb, Croatian Fire-fighting Association, representative body of counties, towns, i.e. communes. In the period from 2000 to 2002 there were 1 178 fires in forests and forest lands, in which the vegetation was burnt on the total area of 89 128 ha, out of which 942 fires were on the Karst area. Out of the total number (7 797) of open space fires in 2000, 703 fires were forest fires where 68 106 ha was the area affected by fires. Out of the total area affected by fires of 39 840 ha are areas owned by the state and 28 266 ha are areas owned by other owners. According to the cause of fires, most of them were caused by negligence and inattention (543), setting fire on purpose (40) and thunder (16). During 2001 in the period from 1 January to 31 December, the total of 4024 open space fires were registered, out of which 299 were forest and forest land fires in which the area of 16169 ha was affected by fires. In the Republic of Croatia in 2002, 176 fires whose area was 4 853 ha started in forests, i.e. forest land. The highest number of fires (128) started on the agricultural lands and private forests and 48 fires started on the areas owned by the state. The majority of fires were ground fires (137). "Hrvatske šume" d. o. o. Zagreb, which through Branches of Forest Administration manage state forests, have the most significant role in fire-prevention. Previous experience shows that by a good organisation on the field, the fire can be prevented in such a way that there are no catastrophic consequences. The Regulation on Fire Prevention will certainly contribute to prevention of fire consequences in early detection, reporting and early fire extinguishing.
