Popis: Current status of plant health research in Croatian urban environments is strongly affected by short-termed appearances of specific biotic agents. Evident need for more consistent and continuously founded research is still evolving. Recent instances of massive insect infestations and fungal infections (Cameraria ohridella, Sphaeropsis sapinea) emphasize this necessity and accelerate the development of ever improving methods targeting not only on new pests and diseases but also old problems which have not been addressed appropriately in the past. The plant health status in urban environments in the last decade has been seriously affected. Among the rising impact of non-biotic damaging effects, including urban environment per se, some pests and diseases added their part to this complex, causing most weakened species or individuals to collapse. This was the case with some pines, planes and horse chestnuts in heavily stressed urban centers and locations in Croatia.
