AB  - This study addresses the potential of Populus alba L. for bioindication and phytoremediation of the contaminated lower part of the Sava River. The main objectives are to assess soil contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs: As, B, Cd, Cr, Cu, Li, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn), evaluate their availability, and assess the phytoremediation and bioindication potential of Populus alba. Quantification of the PTE contents was performed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), while bioindication and phytoremediation potential were evaluated using accumulation indices. The study revealed phytotoxic contents of Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn in the riparian soils of the lower Sava River. The percentage of available Cd was high, but due to its low total content, its phytotoxic potential is limited. According the metal accumulation index, Populus alba exhibits significant potential to accumulate the PTEs studied (with accumulated toxic contents of B, Cr, Li, Sr, and Zn). The ability of Populus alba to accumulate and bioindicate Cd, Cr, and Ni is promising, as is its ability to potentially remediate B, Cd, and Zn. Copper deficiency in leaves resulted in a reduction in photosynthetic performance, but without visible morphological symptoms. The reduced photosynthetic capacity serves as an adaptive strategy for this species in response to toxic levels of PTEs. Since Populus alba is widely distributed in European riparian forests, it is a good candidate to address soil contamination through phytoremediation and bioindication techniques.

AB  - Background Ethnobotanical research in Southeast Europe—one of the most important European hotspots for biocultural
diversity—is significant for the acquisition of Traditional Ecological Knowledge related to plants as well
as for encouraging the development of local environments. The current ethnobotanical research was conducted
in the region of Mt Stara Planina (south-eastern Serbia), which is characterised by rich phytodiversity with a large
number of endemic and relict plant species. The aim of the study was to document the diversity of uses of medicinal
plants and of traditional knowledge on their therapeutic uses.
Methods Ethnobotanical data was collected through both open and semi-structured interviews with locals. Fiftyone
inhabitants were interviewed (26 men and 25 women), aged 30–91, and data was analysed by means of use
reports, citation frequency, use values (UV), and the informant consensus factor (ICF).
Results The study identified 136 vascular medicinal plant taxa and one lichen species belonging to 53 families
and 116 genera. Lamiaceae (19), Rosaceae (18), and Asteraceae (17) had the highest species diversity. The plant parts
most commonly used to make a variety of herbal preparations were the aerial parts (54 citations), leaves (35 citations),
fruits (20 citations), flowers (18 citations), and roots (16 citations), while the most common forms of preparation
were teas (60.78%), consumption of fresh tubers, leaves, roots, and fructus (6.86%), compresses (5.88%), juices (5.39%),
decoctions (3.92%), ‘travarica’ brandy (3.92%), and syrups (2.45%). Of the recorded species, 102 were administered
orally, 17 topically, and 18 both orally and topically. The plants with a maximum use value (UV = 1) were Allium sativum,
Allium ursinum, Gentiana asclepiadea, Gentiana cruciata, Gentiana lutea, Hypericum perforatum, Thymus serpyllum
and Urtica dioica. The highest ICF value (ICF = 0.95) was recorded in the categories of Skin and Blood, Blood Forming
Organs, and Immune Mechanism.
Conclusions This study shows that medicinal plants in the research area are an extremely important natural resource
for the local population as they are an important component of their health culture and provide a better standard
of living.

AB  - The aim of the present study was to evaluate the health risk of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) As, B, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn in electrofilter ash (EFA) and fly ash (FA) from chronosequential FA lagoons L0, L1 and L2 (with weathering and revegetation duration of 0, 3 and 11 years, respectively) for the health of residents (children and adults) in the vicinity of Nikola Tesla A Thermal Power Plant (TENT A), Obrenovac, Serbia. Namely, spreading FA on the surrounding agricultural land, roadside and residential areas may expose the surrounding population to the harmful effects of PTEs and endanger their health through direct ingestion, dermal contact or inhalation. Health risk analysis has shown that oral ingestion of EFA and FA poses the highest potential risk to both adults and children. Children are more susceptible to the health effects of PTE compared to adults, and As poses a potential noncarcinogenic risk to children from ingestion, especially in the case of EFA and raw FA from L0 , while the noncarcinogenic risk potential of Cr in EFA is present in both children and adults. The cumulative noncarcinogenic effect of all tested elements was present in children in the case of ingestion of both EFA and FA from L0 and L1, while for adults only in the case of ingestion of EFA. On the other hand, the carcinogenic risk of EFA and FA from all lagoons was within acceptable limits. The results of this study could be useful to obtain basic information about the health risk status of people living in these areas.

AB  - Potentially toxic element (PTE) contamination in medicinal plants, particularly those
growing in urban environments, can cause human health issues. Therefore, this study evaluated trace element accumulation and translocation patterns (As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn) in the aboveground tissue of common Tilia tomentosa Moench, often used as a medicinal plant, sampled in Belgrade’s urban parks (Zemunski Park, Park Blok 63, and Park Topčider). Our results indicated that this species exhibits the ability to accumulate and translocate PTEs, particularly Cu, in its aboveground parts. It was found that the levels of Cu and Sr in flowers were within the toxic range for plants, indicating a potential risk in using T. tomentosa flowers from Park Topčider for medicinal purposes. The maximum Estimated Daily Intake of Ni from the consumption of leaves and flowers of plants growing in two parks (Zemunski Park and Park Topčider) exceeded the corresponding Provisional Tolerable Daily Intake. Additionally, the Carcinogenic Risk calculated for Cr present in flowers was above the USEPA limit (3.021 x 10-3), indicating possible adverse effects on human health and a carcinogenic risk from ingesting tea prepared from T. tomentosa flowers from Park Topčider. Our research underlines how crucial it is to cautiously use medicinal tree species growing in urban parks in residential areas.

AB  - The enormous quantities of fly ash (FA) produced by thermal power plants is a global
problemand safe, sustainable approaches to reduce the amount and its toxic effects
are still being sought. Vegetation cover comprising long-living species can help
reduce FA dump-related environmental health issues. However, the synergistic
effect of multiple abiotic factors, like drought, low organic matter content, a deficit
of essential nutrients, alkaline pH, and phytotoxicity due to high potentially toxic
element (PTE) and soluble salt content, limits the number of species that can grow
under such stressful conditions. Thus, we hypothesised that Populus alba L., which
spontaneously colonised two FA disposal lagoons at the ‘Nikola Tesla A’ thermal
power plant (Obrenovac, Serbia) 3 years (L3) and 11 years (L11) ago, has high
restoration potential thanks to its stress tolerance. We analysed the basic physical
and chemical properties of FA at different weathering stages, while the
ecophysiological response of P. alba to multiple stresses was determined through
biological indicators [the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF)
for PTEs (As, B, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Se, and Zn)] and by measuring the following
parameters: photosynthetic efficiency and chlorophyll concentration, nonenzymatic
antioxidant defence (carotenoids, anthocyanins, and phenols), oxidative
stress (malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations), and total antioxidant capacity (IC50)
to neutralise DPPH free radical activity. Unlike at L3, toxic As, B, and Zn
concentrations in leaves induced oxidative stress in P. alba at L11, shown by the
higher MDA levels, lower vitality, and reduced synthesis of chlorophyll, carotenoids,
and total antioxidant activity, suggesting its stress tolerance decreases with longterm
exposure to adverse abiotic factors. Although P. alba is a fast-growing species
with good metal accumulation ability and high stress tolerance, it has poor
stabilisation potential for substrates with high As and B concentrations, making it
highly unsuitable for revitalising such habitats.

AB  - In urbanized areas, mitigating the negative effects of pollutants from various anthropogenic
sources is one of the most important issues in planning urban functioning and development. In this
sense, urban vegetation plays one of the most important roles. The aim of this study was to investigate
the performance of network analysis (NA) as a novel and potential method for determining different
associations between potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in leaves of urban trees, their accumulation
capacity and ecophysiological response to different types of pollution in urban environments. The
results of NA showed that there is no association between elements in species that have lower or
higher efficiency in uptake of PTEs, leading to the conclusion that the elements do not depend on
mutual association but on accumulation itself. It was also found that there are differences in the
content of photosynthetic pigments and carotenoids among the studied species, but these differences
are not reflected in the values of the photosynthetic efficiency parameters. Overall, the studied species
have good ecophysiological potential for growth and existence in the urban environment, despite
the varying ability to accumulate elements and the different associations between them. This is the
first study to investigate the interactions between PTEs in leaves of urban tree species using NA and
provides a good basis for future research under different environmental conditions.

AB  - Mineral nutrients (micronutrients) are essential for plant growth and develpment. In low concentrations they have a stimulating effect on plant functioning, but in high concentrations they can be toxic. These micronutrients are naturally present in the environment, but can also originate from industrial plants or from contaminated water used to irrigate agricultural fields. These elements are taken up by plants used for human consumption or grown to feed domestic animals (fodder). In order to evaluate and reduce the risk of growing potentially contaminated plants for livestock feed on soils in the immediate vicinity of coal mines and thermal power plants, the presence of Mn, Se and Zn in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) samples was determined. Alfalfa samples and associated soils were collected from the territory of municipalities of Lazarevac (village Sokolovo) and Obrenovac (village Krtinka), while the territory of the municipality of Surčin (village Jakovo) was chosen as the control site. The bioconcentration factor (BCF), as well as Spearman correlations were calculated, which can provide information about the potential efficiency of the removal of elements from the soil by the plant. The results of the content of the studied elements in fodder were within the usual concentrations for conventional production, except in the case of Se. The Se content in the studied Medicago sativa samples was in a range that can cause chronic or acute poisoning in livestock if consumed, so special attention is needed if these plants are used in the diet of livestock. However, alfalfa was found not to be a significant accumulator of Mn, Se and Zn, as the values of the bioconcentration factor were below 1. Examined element concentrations in soil were within MAC values for soils according to the regulations of the Republic of Serbia. These results urge caution in the cultivation of fodder at investigated sampling sites.

AB  - Air pollution in urban environment is one of the major stressors for vegetation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the levels of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air in Belgrade and Smederevo and their effects on photosynthetic efficiency and catalase enzyme activity of Betula pendula Roth. It was found that SO2 and NO2 concentrations increased from June to October at both studied sites but did not exceed the limits set by the national regulation. NO2 concentrations above the limits were measured only in October in Belgrade. It was also found that the values of the parameter of photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) were within the optimal range determined for deciduous trees, except in June in Belgrade, indicating that birch has optimal photosynthetic efficiency. Average catalase activity increased during the course of season at both sites. The lowest enzyme activity was measured in June in Belgrade and the highest in October in Smederevo. It was be concluded that under the given environmental conditions, the birch trees show no signs of damage and that the basic physiological processes are running at an optimal level. The increase in photosynthetic efficiency and catalase activity in birch leaves in the second part of the season could represent some kind of adaptation mechanism that allows it to survive under unfavorable environmental conditions.

Elevated levels of As and Pb were measured in garden soil in Lazarevac, which indicates a potential risk for growing vegetable crops in this municipality. Although bioconcentration factor values for both elements in both cultures indicated the low affinity of the examined species to accumulate these elements in those organs used in the human diet (BCF<1), As concentrations were found to be above the normal range for plants and higher than the permitted levels for dried vegetables in both vegetable cultures at all the sampling sites, while Pb content was higher in carrots than the permitted levels for dried vegetables as set out by national legislation, which requires further investigation.

AB  - The challenging process of identifying and selecting plant species suited to the phytore­mediation of fly ash (FA) dumps involves studying their functional properties and physiological response to a deficit of essential elements and toxicity from heavy metal(loid)-induced oxidative stress. We hypothesised that Tamarix tetrandra has high potential to be used for the phytoremediation of FA deposit sites thanks to its secretion strategy and antioxidative system. In this study, this hypothesis was examined by determining the bioconcentration and translocation factors for As, B, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Se and Zn at the FA disposal lagoons at the 'Nikola Tesla A' thermal power plant in Obrenovac, Serbia, three (lagoon Ll) and eleven (lagoon L2) years after the phytoremediation process had begun, and by measuring parameters of photosynthetic efficiency and chlorophyll concentration, non-enzymatic antioxidant defence (carotenoids, anthocyanins and phenolics), oxidative stress (con­centration of malondialdehyde-MDA) and total antioxidant capacity to neutralise DPPH free radical activity. Tamarisk not only showed the ability to phytostabilise As, Cr and Ni and to accumulate low-availability Mn, Zn and Cu, but also the potential to maintain the structural and functional integrity of cell membranes and stable vitality at L1 under multiple stress conditions due to the high synthesis of phenols and tolerance to increased salinity. However, toxic concentrations of B and Se in leaves induced oxidative stress in tamarisk at L2 (reflected in higher MDA content and lower vitality) and also decreased the synthesis of chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins and total antioxidant activity. In addition, the prooxidative behaviour of phenols in the presence of spin-stabilising metals from FA could also have resulted in their weaker antioxidant protection at L2. These findings indicate that the choice of tamarisk was justified, but only at the beginning of the phytoremediation process because its presence contributed to an improvement in the harsh conditions at FA deposit sites and the creation of more favourable conditions for new plant species. This knowledge can be of great importance when planning sustainable ash deposit site management worldwide.

Thermal Power Plant (TENT-A) in Serbia were analyzed. The differences in the pseodototal and
bioavailable (DTPA-extractable) concentrations and mobility (AR index) of TEs in FA at the examined
lagoons are a result of the time-conditioned influence of weathering (3 and 11 years respectively)
and vegetation development on changing the basic physical and chemical properties of FA (texture,
pH, EC, CEC, C, N, and bioavailable P and K) and its toxicity. This resulted in differences in the
concentration of TEs in the roots and leaves of the examined plants at L1 and L2. All examined
species accumulated Cr the most in the root (BAF > 1 and TF < 1), which suggests that they are good
stabilizers of this element. Biological indices for As (BAF > 1 and TF < 1) identified T. tetrandra and
A. fruticose as good stabilizers of As. P. alba stood out as accumulating the highest levels of B, Ni,
and Zn, T. tetrandra the highest levels of Cu, Mn, and Se, and R. pseudoacacia the highest levels of
As and B in leaves (BAF > 1; TF > 1), which makes them good extractors of these elements from
the FA at TENT-A. However, due to toxic concentrations of As, B, Se, and Zn in their leaves, they
are not recommended for the phytoremediation of the investigated lagoons through the process of
phytostabilization. Under conditions of elevated total Cu and Ni concentration in FA, the content of
these elements in the leaves of A. fruticosa at both lagoons were within the normal range. This, in
addition to a good supply of essential Zn, the stabilization of As and Cr in the roots, an increase in
BAF, and a decrease in TF for B with a decrease in its mobility in ash over time, singles this invasive
species out as the best candidate for the phytostabilization of TEs in FA at the TENT-A ash deposit
site.

AB  - Quality of urban air is one of the most challenging environmental problems in the 21st century. The use of higher plants, especially different parts of trees, for air monitoring purposes is becoming more and more widespread. In this study, the bark of Acer platanoides L., Acer pseudoplatanus L. and Betula pendula Roth was examined in order to evaluate their ability for biomonitoring purposes in the three urban municipalities in Belgrade city which is affected by different industrial activities and traffic. The concentration of Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn were measured using ICP-OES. The results obtained in this study indicate the regularity in the spatial distribution of the examined elements, ie the highest concentrations were measured in the tree bark from the park in the municipality of Palilula. It was established that the bark of A. platanoides and A. pseudoplatanus retain higher concentration of Cu, Pb and Mn in relation to the bark of B. pendula, but that the accumulation potential of examined species depends not only on the characteristics of the bark, but also on specific habitat conditions. The bark of B. pendula showed good potential for Zn accumulation. Based on the obtained data, it can be concluded that the bark of the examined species can be used as indicator of long-term air pollution, whereby the bark of A. platanoides and A. pseudoplatanus were more efficient as indicators of Cu, Mn and Pb accumulation, and the bark of B. pendula as an indicator of Zn. The use of different parts of plants for the purpose of biomonitoring can reach its full potential in areas where there is no developed network of monitoring stations for air quality.

AB  - Fly ash (FA) as a product of coal combustion in thermal power plants is a hazardous material that is deposited in the immediate vicinity of power plants due to its low rate of utilisation. As a result, fertile agricultural land turns into fly-ash dumps, which disperse fine ash particles around the environment, and toxic materials and salts are leached into groundwater. Revegetating fly ash dumps has proven to be the best way to stabilise the ash both physically and chemically. However, the establishment of vegetation cover at such sites is severely hampered by the unfavourable physical and chemical properties of the unweathered ash, which contains high amounts of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). This chapter provides an overview and dis-cusses the most important issues related to the establishment of vegetation cover at FA disposal sites and the role of plants in stabilising pollutants and mitigating their negative effects as well as their role in soil formation processes. Natural vegetation plays an essential role due to its tolerance to numerous stress conditions caused by pollu-tion and its ability to accumulate PTEs. It has been established that the use of natural plants by means of auxiliary restoration of vegetation cover with the support of appropriate agro-nomic practices (integrated biotechnological approach) can effectively help control the spread of PTEs and support the phytoremedi-ation of this type of environment. The over-view has revealed that ash weathering and the development of vegetation have positive effects on the physical and chemical charac-teristics of wet FAs. Positive changes were manifested in the morphology and texture of ash, a decrease in alkalinity and salinity, the development of horizon A due to the accu-mulation of organic matter and an increase in organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and adsorption capacity. These changes were most pronounced in the upper layer of the FA and are important indicators of the onset of soil formation processes. It is concluded that these processes and the time elapsed after the revegetation are the main driving factors. They are extremely important for the success-ful ecological reclamation of fly ash disposal sites and long-term environmental protection.

AB  - Species of the genus Teucrium are widely distributed, mainly in the sandy and rocky
areas of the Mediterranean, Europe, North Africa and in temperate parts of Asia, especially
southwestern Asia. Three which stand out for their medicinal properties, as confirmed by their
use in traditional phytotherapy worldwide, are Teucrium chamaedrys (wall germander), T.
montanum (mountain germander) and T. polium (felty germander).
Out of the 55 ethnobotanical studies analysed, T. chamaedrys was mentioned in 34, T.
polium in 23, and T. montanum in 11. T. chamaedrys and T. polium are used most often by the
people of Asia Minor and the western Balkans, while T. montanum is most popular in the latter
region. Their aerial parts are used most frequently to prepare infusions or decoctions, which are
mostly taken internally (84,2%), while external application is rarer (9,2%).
Ethnobotanical research showed these species are most commonly used to treat
gastrointestinal problems (indigestion, gastric pain, diarrhoea, jaundice, cirrhosis, as painkillers
and for biliary tract purification), problems involving heart and blood vessel functioning
(haemorrhoids, hypertension, anaemia, and blood purification), and respiratory problems (colds,
flu, fevers, tuberculosis, lung cancer and as a febrifuge); they are also valued as a treatment for
diabetes. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, T. montanum is one of the most popular plants
in traditional medicine, which, according to locals’ beliefs, ‘heals every disease’.
However, despite the obvious, pronounced favourable impact on human wellbeing, there
have been reported incidents of infusions or decoctions of the Teucrium species investigated
having a detrimental effect on people’s health, particularly causing hepatitis. Therefore, to avoid
this, the overall health of the patient, the dosage and treatment duration must be considered.
Hence, further research into T. chamaedrys, T. polium and T. montanum should be undertaken,
focussing on the pharmacological aspect, so as to eliminate or minimise any potential side
effects.
AB  - Врсте рода Teucrium су широко распрострањене, углавном у песковитим и
стеновитим областима Медитерана, Европе, Северне Африке и у умереним областима
Азије, посебно југозападне Азије. По лековитим својствима се истичу Teucrium
chamaedrys (подубица), T. montanum (трава ива) и T. polium (пепељуша), што потврђује
њихова употреба у традиционалној фитотерапији широм света.
Од 55 анализираних етноботаничких студија, врста T. chamaedrys је поменута у 34,
T. polium у 23, а T. montanum у 11 студија. T. chamaedrys и T. polium најчешће користи
становништво Мале Азије и западног Балкана, док је врста T. montanum најпопуларнија у
региону западног Балкана. Надземни делови ових биљака се најчешће користе за
припрему инфузија или декокта, који се углавном употребљавају орално (84,2%), док је
спољашња примена ређа (9,2%). Етноботаничка истраживања су показала да се T. chamaedrys, T. polium и T.
montanum најчешће користе за лечење гастроинтестиналних проблема (пробавне сметње, бол у желуцу, дијареја, жутица, цироза, за чишћeње жучних путева и као лекови против
болова), болести срца и крвних судова (хемороиди, хипертензија, анемија и детоксикација
крви) и респираторних проблема (прехлада, грип, грозница, туберкулоза, рак плућа и као
фебрифуга). Такође, веома су значајне у лечењу дијабетеса. У Босни и Херцеговини и
Србији, T. montanum је једна од најпопуларнијих биљака у традиционалној медицини, која
према веровањима локалног становништва „лечи сваку болест“.
Међутим, упркос изразито повољном утицају на људско здравље, забележени су
случајеви штетног утицаја инфузија или декокта проучаваних Teucrium врста на здравље
људи, посебно због могућег изазивања хепатитиса. Да би се избегли нежељени ефекти,
неопходно је сагледати целокупно здравље пацијента, дозирање и трајање третмана. Стога
је потребно предузети даља истраживања врста T. chamaedrys, T. polium и T. montanum
фокусирајући се на фармаколошке аспекте, како би се елиминисали или минимизирали
потенцијални нежељени ефекти.

AB  - U ruralnim regionima Srbije kao što je područje Suve planine postoji snažno
verovanje u moć lekovitog bilja, što je u vezi sa narodnom tradicijom stvaranom
tokom proteklih vekova. Visok stepen upotrebe korovskih biljaka u narodnoj medicini
proučavane oblasti, objašnjava se njihovom relativno lakom dostupnošću u prirodi, ali
i mogućnostima gajenja. Etnobotanička istraživanja su obavljena tokom 2019. godine,
metodom otvorenog i polustruktuiranog intervjua sa lokalnim stanovništvom.
Intervjuisano je 66 ljudi. Etnobotaničkom analizom tradicionalne upotrebe lekovitih
biljaka u regionu Suve planine ustanovljeno je da lokalno stanovništvo tradicionalno
koristi 128 vrsta biljaka svrstanih u 48 familija. Od ukupnog broja zabeleženih vrsta,
62 (48,4%) pripadaju korovima u užem i širem smislu. Korovske vrste su
klasifikovane u 26 biljnih familija, među kojima su najzastupljenije Asteraceae
(19,35%), Lamiaceae (16,13%) i Rosaceae (6,45%). U biološkom spektru dominiraju
hemikriptofite (51,6%), geofite (16,1%), terofite (6,5%) i prelazna grupa između
terofita i hemikriptofita (6,5%), dok su ostale životne forme znatno manje zastupljene.
Korovske vrste su cenobionti segetalnih i ruderalnih biljnih zajednica i njihovo
prisustvo je direktno uslovljeno antropogenim uticajem. Analiza rezultata je pokazala
da među zabeleženim vrstama maksimalnu upotrebnu vrednost (UV=1) imaju
Achillea millefolium L., Gentiana lutea L., Hypericum perforatum L., Matricaria
chamomilla L., Plantago lanceolata L., Plantago major L. i Thymus serpyllum L. U
odnosu na način primene, 36 vrsta korovskih biljaka (58%) se upotrebljava interno, u
formi čajeva ili u ishrani, 9 (14,5%) se primenjuje eksterno, najčešće u formi obloga,
dok 17 korovskih vrsta (27,5%) ima i internu i eksternu primenu. Sprovedena
etnobotanička istraživanja na području Suve planine pokazuju da korovske biljke
imaju veliki značaj za etnomedicinu lokalnog stanovništva, što potvrđuje čitav spektar
zdravstvenih problema i bolesti za koje se koriste: respiratorne, gastrointestinalne,
urogenitalne, kožne, bolesti srca i krvnih sudova, metabolički poremećaji, upalni
procesi, kao i za poboljšanje imuniteta i jačanje skeletno-mišićnog sistema.
Generalno, poznavanje korovskih lekovitih biljaka i njihovog genetičkog potencijala na
istraživanom području, omogućava sprovođenje ekoloških aktivnosti, koje uključuju
održivi razvoj i ekološko upravljanje prirodnim resursima, kao što je lekovito bilje.

AB  - Concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were measured in topsoil samples collected from parks in the cities of Salzburg (Austria), Thessaloniki (Greece), and Belgrade (Serbia) in order to assess the distribution of PTEs in the urban environment, discriminate natural (lithogenic) and anthropogenic contributions, identify possible sources of pollution, and compare levels of pollution between the cities. An assessment of the health risks caused by exposure to PTEs through different pathways was also conducted. The study revealed that, with the exception of Pb in Salzburg, levels of PTEs in the soils in polluted urban parks were higher than in unpolluted ones, but still lower than those recorded in other European soils. Results of sequential analyses showed that Al, Cr, and Ni were found in residual phases, proving their predominantly lithogenic origin and their low mobility. In contrast, the influence of anthropogenic factors on Cu, Pb, and Zn was evident. Site-dependent variations showed that the highest concentrations of As, Cu, Pb, and Zn of anthropogenic origin were recorded in Salzburg, while the highest levels of Al, Cr, and Ni of lithogenic origin were recorded in Belgrade and Thessaloniki, which reflects the specificity of the geological substrates. Results obtained for the health risk assessment showed that no human health risk was found for either children or adults.

investigated concentrations, mobility, and potential availability of potentially toxic elements (PTEs)
in soil samples from polluted and non-polluted municipal parks in Reading (UK) and Belgrade
(Serbia) and their impact on elemental concentrations in Tilia leaves. We aimed to identify common
limiting factors potentially affecting the growth/healthy function of this widely-used tree species.
Levels of all elements in soil were below limits established by the directive of European Communities,
except for Ni at Belgrade sites. Content of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn in soluble fraction at
all locations was <10%, indicating low mobility; B showed moderate mobility (11.1–20.7%), Mn
(6.5–55.6%), and Sr—high (44–76.3%). Principal Component Analysis of Tilia leaf tissues showed
a different capacity for uptake/accumulation of PTEs in different locations. Findings indicate the
complexity of local edaphic influences on plants’ elemental uptake and the risk of those leading to
deficiency of important micronutrients, which may impede trees’ function and thus the ability to
optimally provide ecosystem services.

AB  - The use of trees to immobilise potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is a low-cost and effective method of soil remediation. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the content of total and bioavailable As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in soil samples, as well as their levels in the roots and leaves of elm (Ulmus glabra Huds.) in order to evaluate its potential for the phytostabilisation of PTEs in the riparian zone of the Sava River. Analysis of soils showed that the availability of PTEs ranged from low to medium, while the pollution load index (PLI) and potential ecological risk index (RI) showed that the examined soil fell into the category of uncontaminated to moderately contaminated, as well as into the category of low risk of PTEs contamination. However, the levels of Cr, Cu and Ni in soils were above the critical range for plants. The content of As and Cr measured in roots and leaves was in the toxic range for plants, while the content of Cd and Ni was elevated but not in the toxic range. Bioaccumulation (BCF) and translocation (TF) factors indicated that U. glabra is suitable for the phytostabilisation of As, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb. Additionally, this species displayed the ability to transport most of the acquired Cu and Zn to the leaves. Correlation analysis showed that PTE content in U. glabra roots was significantly positively correlated to their respective levels in soil (total and DTPA-extractable), except for Cu, indicating that PTE levels in soil strongly influence those in plants. This research into a successful phytoremediating species provides new possibilities when selecting PTE-tolerant native trees in riparian zones of large regional rivers such as the Sava.

AB  - This study investigates the impact of organic matter from Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) on the amount and composition of humus in acid brown soil in a climatoregional beech forest (Fagetum moesiacae montanum B. Jov. 1967 s.l.) on Mt. Maljen. To accomplish this objective, we performed a one-year litterbag decomposition experiment with litterfall from Fagus moesiaca and Pseudotsuga menziesii. The quantitative and qualitative content of humus and the intensity of the decomposition process of organic mat-ter from beech and Douglas fir were analysed. Less humus was found during the experiment under Douglas fir than under autochthonous beech at the control site, as well as a decreasing trend for humus levels and quality (unfavourable chemical composition). It was concluded that these changes, caused by the effects of the clearcutting of beech and, in the future, of Douglas fir, and the slower decomposition of organic matter from Douglas fir will contribute to further degradation of the beech habitat on Mt.

AB  - This paper presents the results of a one-year decomposition experiment on Quercus frainetto Ten. and Quercus cerris L. leaf litter in natural conditions. The decomposition rate constant was 0.831 yr−1 (Q. frainetto) and 0.458 yr−1 (Q. cerris). For the initial chemical composition of the oaks’ litter, differences were not found in concentrations of lignin and fats, waxes and oil fractions, but were found for water-soluble matter, hemicellulose and cellulose. Later decomposition stages indicated that lignin and fats, waxes and oil fractions influenced differences in both oaks’ litter decay rates. Ana-tomical analysis revealed differences between the oaks in leaf mesophyll and epidermis but not in the entire leaf and lower epidermis. Results after 12 months of the experiment revealed that 48.04% of the entire leaf, 53.30% of mesophyll, 32.93% of lignified upper and 47.67% of lower epidermis in Q. frainetto, and 28.70% of the entire leaf, 31.60% of mesophyll, 25.17% of lignified upper and 20.93% of lower epidermis in Q. cerris were decomposed. Reduction in leaf thickness mainly was caused by the reduction of mesophyll parenchyma, composed of easily degradable plant materials. Leaf tissues with the most recalcitrant plant materials were lignified upper epidermis, covered by a thick cuticle composed of fats and waxes, and xylem within the leaf veins

AB  - Arsenic (As) from coal fly ash can be released into soil/groundwater, presenting a global threat to the environment and human health. To overcome this environmental problem, phytoremediation represents an urgent need, providing 'green' cleanup of contaminated lands. The present study focused on As concentrations in fly ash and plants, evaluation of phytoremediation potential of Dactylis glomerata sown on fly ash deposits together with its photosynthetic activity, and oxidative and antioxidative response to As stress. Field research was carried out on fly ash deposits at the thermal power plant "Nikola Tesla", Obrenovac (TENT-A, Serbia) and the control site. Fly ash is characterized by alkaline pH reactions, small amounts of organic matter, a large amount of available phosphate, and total and available As concentrations. Results in this study indicate that phosphate application can ameliorate As toxicity, uptake and root-shoot transport. Furthermore, D. glomerata can be considered as good As phytostabilizator, because it retains more As in roots than in leaves. Excess As in leaves decreases photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) and concentrations of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and anthocyanins, whereas high content of malondialdehyde (MDA) can be a signal for biosynthesis phenolics and ascorbic acid, providing cellular redox homeostasis and recovery of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. In the roots, low oxidative stress under high concentrations of As is related to intense antioxidant biosynthesis. Taken together, the results in this study indicate a high adaptive potential of D. glomerata to As stress. These findings may suggest that physiological and metabolic tools can be used as a way forward in the 'real field' scenario, phytomanagement of fly ash and ecosystem services providing sustainable phytoremediation of As-contaminated sites around the globe.

To overcome this environmental problem, phytoremediation represents an urgent need, providing 'green' cleanup of contaminated lands. The present study focused on As concentrations in fly ash and plants, evaluation of phytoremediation potential of Dactylis glomerata sown on fly ash deposits together with its photosynthetic activity, and oxidative and antioxidative response to As stress. Field research was carried out on fly ash deposits at the thermal power plant "Nikola Tesla", Obrenovac (TENT-A, Serbia) and the control site. Fly ash is characterized by alkaline pH reactions, small amounts of organic matter, a large amount of available phosphate, and total and available As concentrations. Results in this study indicate that phosphate application can ameliorate As toxicity, uptake and root-shoot transport. Furthermore, D. glomerata can be considered as good As phytostabilizator, because it retains more As in roots than in leaves. Excess As in leaves decreases photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) and concentrations of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and anthocyanins, whereas high content of malondialdehyde (MDA) can be a signal for biosynthesis phenolics and ascorbic acid, providing cellular redox homeostasis and recovery of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. In the roots, low oxidative stress under high concentrations of As is related to intense antioxidant biosynthesis. Taken together, the results in this study indicate a high adaptive potential of D. glomerata to As stress. These findings may suggest that physiological and metabolic tools can be used as a way forward in the 'real field' scenario, phytomanagement of fly ash and ecosystem services providing sustainable phytoremediation of As-contaminated sites around the globe.",

AB  - The use of trees to immobilise potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is a low-cost and effective method of soil remediation. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the content of total and bioavailable As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in soil samples, as well as their levels in the roots and leaves of elm (Ulmus glabra Huds.) in order to evaluate its potential for the phytostabilisation of PTEs in the riparian zone of the Sava River. Analysis of soils showed that the availability of PTEs ranged from low to medium, while the pollution load index (PLI) and potential ecological risk index (RI) showed that the examined soil fell into the category of uncontaminated to moderately contaminated, as well as into the category of low risk of PTEs contamination. However, the levels of Cr, Cu and Ni in soils were above the critical range for plants. The content of As and Cr measured in roots and leaves was in the toxic range for plants, while the content of Cd and Ni was elevated but not in the toxic range. Bioaccumulation (BCF) and translocation (TF) factors indicated that U. glabra is suitable for the phytostabilisation of As, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb. Additionally, this species displayed the ability to transport most of the acquired Cu and Zn to the leaves. Correlation analysis showed that PTE content in U. glabra roots was significantly positively correlated to their respective levels in soil (total and DTPA-extractable), except for Cu, indicating that PTE levels in soil strongly influence those in plants. This research into a successful phytoremediating species provides new possibilities when selecting PTE-tolerant native trees in riparian zones of large regional rivers such as the Sava.

AB  - The main objectives of this study were determination of concentration of five potentially toxic elements (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) and investigation of their distribution and environmental impact in soils, collected from urban parks in Belgrade, Smederevo and Pančevo. The optimized four-step BCR sequential extraction technique was used for element fractionation. Risk assessment code (RAC), individual contamination factors (ICF) and global contamination factors (GCF) were used to assess the environmental impacts of elements in soil samples. The study revealed that content of Cu and Ni at all localities, Pb in Belgrade and Smederevo and Zn in Smederevo exceed the limits established by local regulations, which may represent an environmental threat. Sequential extraction results showed that major portion of Cr existed in the residual fraction. The highest content of Cu and Ni from Belgrade and Pančevo was found  in the first three fractions, while a large portion of Pb and Zn were found in reducible fraction, indicating that these elements may pose a great threat to environment in case of any change in environmental condition. According to the computed RAC, ICF and GCF the highest risk was found in Belgrade for Zn and Pb.
