Thermal continentality plays an important role not only in the basic characterisation of the climate in particular regions but also in the phytogeographic distribution of plants and ecosystem formation. Due to ongoing climate change, questions surrounding the changes of thermal continentality are very relevant. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of thermal continentality and its temporal changes in the Slovak Republic between the years of 1961 and 2013. The study was carried out on several meteorological stations selected in respect to the geographical and geomorphological heterogeneity of Slovakia. Our results show that the continentality of Slovakia increased in the period 1961 to 2013; however, this trend is not significant. These non-significant trends are confirmed at all the stations. Nevertheless, it is necessary to be aware of this signal, especially because these changes could cause changes in ecosystem formation in future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5194\/esd-7-735-2016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,31]],"date-time":"2016-08-31T03:33:47Z","timestamp":1472614427000},"page":"735-744","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Minimal change of thermal continentality in Slovakia within the period\n1961\u20132013"],"prefix":"10.5194","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Jozef","family":"Vil\u010dek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaroslav","family":"\u0160kvarenina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5581-2749","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaroslav","family":"Vido","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul\u00edna","family":"Nalevankov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radoslav","family":"Kandr\u00edk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jana","family":"\u0160kvareninov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3145","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Andrade, C. and Corte-Real, J.: Assessment of the spatial distribution of continental-oceanic climate indices in the Iberian Peninsula, Int.
