The investigations were carried out from 2014 to 2016. Altogether, 251 vascular plant taxa (species and infraspecific units) were recorded on the islet. A total of 11 plant associations, one subassocation and two stands within 10 vegetation classes were identified. Due to high anthropogenic influences during the last centuries, quarrying in particular, the islet investigated showed a relatively low variety of vascular plant taxa. In addition, clear signs of fragmentation of the forest vegetation were observed.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Acta Botanica Croatica}, author={Jasprica, Nenad and Dolina, Katija and Milovic, Milenko}, year={2018}, month={Oct.} }
