Sažetak (engleski)

An academic cooperation agreement between the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences (BOKU) and the Faculty of Forestry of the University of Zagreb was established in September 2000. In the context of this agreement, the Institute of Forest Ecology of BOKU was asked to develop a sustainable concept for the continuation of the devastated arboretum at Brijuni. The arboretum was established in1987.The basic idea of the two initiators, Prof. Dr. Ž. Borzan and Prof. Dr. M. Vidaković, was to give a floristic general view on the Mediterranean flora as well as on trees and shrubs from completely different climatic zones of the world (BORZAN et al., 1993). Plants from various countries were chosen as examples to document the lively diplomatic activities of the former Yugoslavian President Tito. Costly facilities to maintain the arboretum, like paved pathways, water supply, a nursery and a house for employees and guests, were established. Due to warfare these investments were destroyed, the maintenance of the arboretum was neglected and furthermore completely abandoned. At present, the arboretum is in a poor condition. The fence isfull of holes, so that deer can enter the arboretum regularly and feed on tree seedlings. Many of the non-autochthonous plants died as a consequence of the Mediterranean climate and lack of care. The hypothes is of the ecological survey carried out by undergraduate student, Tomislav Erstić, was whether the general idea of the initiators of the arboretum could be sustainably continued, or whether an improved concept should be developed under the present ecological conditions with less maintenance efforts. Scientific soil research seemed to be a fundamental tool to prove these ecological hypotheses and was meant to support the elaborated concept. Data on mineralogical, physical, chemical and hydrological soil properties were collected and evaluated. Their ecological relevance was analyzed and served as fundament to the presented concept for the arboretum “Putevima Mira” (ERSTIĆ, 2005).
