| Abstract | Otok Rab nalazi se u sjevernom Jadranu, između otoka Krka, Cresa i Paga. Svojim iznimnim ljepotama, geografskim položajem, klimom te bogatstvom biljnog i životinjskog svijeta, odavno budi interes mnogih istraživača flore i faune. Svrha ovoga rada bio je napraviti cjelovit pregled flore, vegetacije i faune otoka Raba i okolnog mora. Prikupljeni su i analizirani svi dostupni podaci, Flora Croatica Database za floru, internetska baze podataka (Bioportal) za vegetaciju i zaštićena područja, te svi dostupni literaturni izvori za faunu. Prema literaturnim podacima flora otoka Raba broji 633 svojte, od kojih je 28 endemskih svojti, a 44 vrste su ugrožene (16 kritično ugroženih, 10 ugroženih, 18 osjetljivih vrsta). U vegetaciji otoka Raba najzastupljeniji su submediteranski i epimediteranski suhi travnjaci, mješovite šume i makija hrasta crnike, nasadi četinjača i mozaici kultiviranih površina. Prema literaturnim podacima u kopnenoj fauni otoka Raba ukupno je zabilježeno 209 vrsta kralježnjaka: 161 vrsta ptica, 27 vrsta sisavaca, 16 vrsta gmazova i 5 vrsta vodozemaca. Morska fauna otoka Raba je raznolika s više od 500 vrsta, od čega je 195 vrsta riba, 126 vrsta puževa, 4 vrste zaštićenih rakova, 100 vrsta školjkaša i 6 vrsta ramenonošaca. Ovim radom po prvi puta je napravljen sustavni pregled raznolikosti flore, vegetacije i životinjskog svijeta te zaštićenih područja otoka Raba i okolnog mora. |
