Abstract

Otok Lošinj u povijesti je bio poznata pomorska sila zbog glasovitih brodogradilišta, a danas je težište na unapređenju razvoja turizma. Još 1892. godine proglašen je klimatskim lječilištem zahvaljujući profesoru Ambrozu Haračiću i njegovim meteorološkim istraživanjima. Taj je prirodoslovac krajem 19. stoljeća pošumio dio otoka alepskim (Pinus halepensis Mill.) i crnim borom (Pinus nigra Arnold) i time stvorio uvjete za obnovu autohtone vegetacije, a u svojim botaničkim istraživanjima utvrdio je više od 1000 biljnih vrsta. Njih 939 pripada autohtonoj flori, a oko 80 uglavnom egzotičnih vrsta donijeli su lošinjski pomorci. Brojne biljne vrste imaju ukrasnu važnost, utječu na mikroklimu i aerosol te se ističu raznolikom uporabnom vrijednošću, a samo neke od njih su: kadulja (Salvia officinalis L.), lovor (Laurus nobilis L.), mirta (Myrtus communis L.), primorska ciklama (Cyclamen repandum Sibth. et Sm.) i mnoge druge.

Abstract (english)

In history, the island of Lošinj was a well-known naval power due to its famous shipyards, and today's focus is on the tourism development. Back in 1892, the island was proclaimed as climatic health resort due to Professor Ambroz Haračić's meteorological observation. At the end of the 19th century, this scientist reforested parts of the island with Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) and black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) which created conditions for the restoration of indigenous flora. In his botanical research, he identified more than 1000 plant species - 939 of them belong to indigenous flora and 80 (mostly exotic species) were brought by sailors. Many plant species have ornamental importance, impact on the microclimate and aerosol or diverse use value and some of them are sage (Salvia officinalis L.), laurel (Laurus nobilis L.), myrtle (Myrtus communis L.), spring sowbread (Cyclamen repandum Sibth. et Sm.) and many others.
