V článku je popsán průběh počasí a hlavní stromy v ekosystémech ostrova Sokotra. Hlavní pozornost je věnována vlivu cyklonů, které od roku 2015 zasáhly Sokotru, na lesy dračince Dracaena cinnabari a kadidlovníku Boswellia elongata. Je ukázán příklad, jak je možné zmírnit projevy globální změny klimatu podporou přirozené i umělé obnovy dřevin v podmínkách Sokotry.

This article describes the weather pattern and predominant trees in the ecosystems on Socotra Island. The main focus is on the impact of cyclones on Dracaena cinnabari and Boswellia elongata forests since 2015. The example of how it is possible to mitigate the manifestation of global climate change by supporting both natural and artificial tree regeneration in the conditions of Socotra Island has been demonstrated.
