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  - The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of native and invasive plant species for the uptake and accumulation of lithium (Li) and strontium (Sr) along the Sava River, focusing on their bioindication and phytoremediation capabilities. Sampling was carried out in riparian zones exposed to different pollution sources in Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia. Plant samples of native (Salix alba, Populus alba, Populus nigra, Ulmus glabra, Juglans regia) and invasive (Amorpha fruticosa, Reynoutria japonica, Solidago canadensis, Impatiens glandulifera) species were collected. The content of Li and Sr was analyzed in the soils, roots, and leaves of the selected plants, as well as physical and chemical soil properties. Both Li and Sr content in the soils increased from the source to the mouth of the Sava River. The native species showed significant potential for Li and Sr accumulation based on the metal accumulation index. The highest Sr accumulation was measured in the leaves of Salix alba and the roots of Juglans regia, while the highest Li accumulation was measured in Ulmus glabra. Native species, especially Salix alba, proved to be better bioindicators of Li and Sr. Invasive species, especially Amorpha fruticosa and Impatiens glandulifera, showed a remarkable ability to translocate Sr and Li, respectively, to leaves. These results provide valuable insight into the suitability of plants for biomonitoring soil contamination and potential applications in phytoremediation strategies. In summary, the study shows the importance of native species in the context of the accumulation and bioindication of soil pollution.

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  - Changes in the urban environment can have serious effects on plants, including changes in the availability of certain essential micronutrients. Micronutrients are needed in very small amounts and are often required as cofactors for enzyme activity. In this study, the concentrations of selected essential micronutrients (B, Cu, Mn, and Zn) and the activity of the enzyme catalase in leaves of Tilia sp. were measured. The study was conducted in urban parks in Belgrade, Pancevo and Smederevo, exposed to various sources of pollution from traffic and industry. Control site was located in an area without a direct source of pollution. Results of this study revealed toxic B content in leaves of Tilia sp. from Belgrade, while deficiency of this element was measured in Pancevo. Deficit in Zn content was measured in almost all examined individuals, while Mn deficit was measured in Belgrade and at the Control site. The lowest values of catalase activity were measured in Tilia sp. at the Control site, which indicates that the Zn and Mn deficiencies cause slightly lower vitality of Tilia sp. at the Control site compared to the same trees at the other sites. On the other hand, the highest catalase activity measured in Belgrade could be the result of B toxicity. The results of the discriminant analysis (DA) showed that Belgrade site is clearly separated from the other three sites, with B and Mn contributing the most.

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.

У сваком парку узорци су узети са више тачака, са дубине од 0-10 цм. Узорци земљишта су припремани влажном дигестијом у царској води, док су концентрације елемената одређене применом ICP-ОЕS методе. Такође су процењени фактор обогаћивања (EF), фактор контаминације (Cf), степен контаминације (Cdeg), еколошки ризик (Eri) и индекс потенцијалног еколошког ризика (RI). Добијени резултати су показали да испитивана земљишта карактеришу нешто веће концентрације As и Ni од истих прописаних европском законском регулативом, као и нешто веће концентрације Ni од максимално дозвољених концентрација прописаних правилником Републике Србије. Повишене концентрације As и Ni су са једне стране последица природе геолошке подлоге, а са друге резултат интензивног саобраћаја и емисије издувних гасова из возила. Анализа главних компоненти указује на геолошко порекло Fe и Mn, док As, Cu, Ni, Pb и Zn вероватно потичу из антропогених извора. Даље је утврђено да Cr потиче и из природних и из антропогених извора.

AB  - Soil pollution with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and their impact on human health has become an increasingly serious worldwide concern. The content of ten PTEs (As, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn) in soil samples from urban parks in Pančevo, Smederevo, Obrenovac and Belgrade (Serbia) were measured in order to evaluate their possible health risk in this study. The concentration of As, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn and Sr were within values described for upper continental crust, unlike Cu and Pb content at all sampling sites, Ni in Pančevo, Smederevo and Obrenovac and Zn in Belgrade which exceeded values described for upper continental crust. Their increased content is conditioned by the nature of the geological substrate, industrial activity in the environment, as well as traffic. Analysis of the health risks showed that children are more susceptible to non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health effects of PTEs compared to adults, and that oral ingestion has the highest potential risk both for adults and children. Lead poses a potential non-carcinogenic risk to children through ingestion pathway. The carcinogenic risk was within the acceptable limits. The results of this study could be useful in providing basic information about the PTEs content in selected urban parks and the health risk status of people inhabiting these areas.

AB  - This study investigated the effects of proximity to different contamination sources, such as a coal mine, thermal power plants and fly ash disposal sites, in three Belgrade municipalities (Obrenovac, Lazarevac and Surčin) on agricultural soil contamination with As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn. Concentrations of As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were within the reference range for European soils and did not exceed the limit thresholds set by national legislation, except for Cr in Lazarevac and Ni at all the examined sites. The highest concentrations of As, Cr, Cu and Ni were measured in soil from Lazarevac, with the largest differences determined for As, Cr, and particularly Ni. The high Ni content in soil samples in Lazarevac indicates potential risk from the toxic effects of this element in the soil, close to the mine, the Kolubara-A thermal power plant and the ash dump. However, overall, values obtained for ecological risk indices were low, meaning that there is negligible enrichment and contamination of soil with the tested elements at the study sites and, therefore, no potential ecological risk to the environment or agricultural crop production.

abstract = "This study investigated the effects of proximity to different contamination sources, such as a coal mine, thermal power plants and fly ash disposal sites, in three Belgrade municipalities (Obrenovac, Lazarevac and Surčin) on agricultural soil contamination with As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn. Concentrations of As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were within the reference range for European soils and did not exceed the limit thresholds set by national legislation, except for Cr in Lazarevac and Ni at all the examined sites. The highest concentrations of As, Cr, Cu and Ni were measured in soil from Lazarevac, with the largest differences determined for As, Cr, and particularly Ni. The high Ni content in soil samples in Lazarevac indicates potential risk from the toxic effects of this element in the soil, close to the mine, the Kolubara-A thermal power plant and the ash dump. However, overall, values obtained for ecological risk indices were low, meaning that there is negligible enrichment and contamination of soil with the tested elements at the study sites and, therefore, no potential ecological risk to the environment or agricultural crop production.",

AB  - The riparian zones of the River Sava are continuously exposed to anthropogenic pressures and contamination by various pollutants. Therefore, research in this doctoral thesis focussed on studying sediment and soil from the river’s source to its confluence with the Danube during a period of high water levels (2014) and low water levels (2015). It aimed to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the sediment and soil; to establish heavy metal and metalloid contamination levels (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, Tl, Zn) with a focus on priority pollutants (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn); to determine the elements’ background levels; to investigate their origin, content, distribution, mobility, bioavailability and interdependence in the soil-sediment system; and to define the ecological risk in the study area. The total content of most of the analysed elements in both soil and sediment increased from the source towards the confluence due to transport and deposition in the lower course of the river and to changes in redox conditions, which increased their solubility. Flooding was a dominant factor, which, together with soil texture, pH and humus content, affected the bioavailability, distribution and binding forms of heavy metals and metalloids in the fraction profile. The origin of heavy metals in soil and sediment in the upper course was most impacted by the geological substrate and, to some degree, by anthropogenic activity, while anthropogenic activities were the predominant influence on origin in the lower course. On the basis of the heavy metal and metalloid content in soil and sediment, and also the analysis of the total ecological risk (RI) and of potential ‘hot spots’, it was concluded that localities in the lower course of the River Sava are most at risk and under the greatest anthropogenic pressure.

AB  - Urban areas and associated human activities have induced anthropogenic emissions of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), which can present risk to living organisms and ecosystems in case of enriched levels. To identify the concentrations of PTEs, and to assess their impact on researched plants, leaf and soil samples of Juglans regia L.(walnut) were collected from urban parks in Pancevo, Smederevo and Belgrade. Subsequently, concentrations of Cu, Mn, Sr and Zn, photosynthetic efficiency and morphological symptoms of damage were analyzed. The results obtained showed that Cu and Zn concentrations in Belgrade and Smederevo were above average values described for global soils, indicating their anthropogenic origin. The leaf analysis revealed deficient content of Cu and Zn in Pancevo, Cu and Mn in Smederevo and toxic Sr content at all sites. The Fv/Fm values in leaves of J. regia were lower than the empirically determined optimal values, indicating photoinhibition of PSII due to the accumulation of physiological and morphological leaf damages. Results of this study suggest that J. regia does not represent good selection for bioindication and/or biomonitoring of pollution in urban environments, except in case of Sr, where it can be used as a potential bioindicator.

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  - A large number of human activities result in the release of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) into the environment, which could lead to the degradation of riparian areas. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Salix alba, Juglans regia and Populus nigra for the biomonitoring of PTEs in the riparian soils of the Sava River. Levels of seven PTEs (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) were measured in the soils, roots and leaves of plants at selected sampling sites and evaluated according to bioaccumulation and translocation factors. The obtained results showed that in riparian soils, As, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn were at levels considered to be critical for plants. The levels of As, Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn measured in roots of Salix alba and As, Cr, Ni and Zn in its leaves were toxic for plant tissue. Toxic levels of Cr were also measured in the roots of Juglans regia and As in its leaves, as well as As and Cr in the roots of Populus nigra, and Zn in its leaves. Bioconcentration and translocation factors showed that S. alba and P. nigra have potential for the phytoextraction of Zn and Cd, while J. regia has potential for the phytoextraction of As. In terms of phytostabilization potential, S. alba proved to be good for the phytostabilization of Cd and Cu, and J. regia for the phytostabilization of Cr, As, Ni and Pb, while P. nigra showed potential for the phytostabilization of Cr, Ni, Pb and Cu.

AB  - A large number of human activities result in the release of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) into the environment, which could lead to the degradation of riparian areas. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Salix alba, Juglans regia and Populus nigra for the biomonitoring of PTEs in the riparian soils of the Sava River. Levels of seven PTEs (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) were measured in the soils, roots and leaves of plants at selected sampling sites and evaluated according to bioaccumulation and translocation factors. The obtained results showed that in riparian soils, As, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn were at levels considered to be critical for plants. The levels of As, Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn measured in roots of Salix alba and As, Cr, Ni and Zn in its leaves were toxic for plant tissue. Toxic levels of Cr were also measured in the roots of Juglans regia and As in its leaves, as well as As and Cr in the roots of Populus nigra, and Zn in its leaves. Bioconcentration and translocation factors showed that S. alba and P. nigra have potential for the phytoextraction of Zn and Cd, while J. regia has potential for the phytoextraction of As. In terms of phytostabilization potential, S. alba proved to be good for the phytostabilization of Cd and Cu, and J. regia for the phytostabilization of Cr, As, Ni and Pb, while P. nigra showed potential for the phytostabilization of Cr, Ni, Pb and Cu.

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  - Ethnobotanical studies conducted in southeastern Europe are of key
importance for stimulating local development and for investigating the dynamics of
traditional ecological plant knowledge in one of the most significant European
‘hotspots’ for biocultural diversity. Many local communities traditionally use
available plant resources in primary health care, meaning they play an important role
in preserving traditional phytotherapeutic knowledge.
The range of medicinal plants in Serbia encompasses approximately 700
species, which is 10.7% of the country’s total flora (3662 species). This
ethnobotanical study was conducted in the Stara Planina mountain region
(southeastern Serbia). Its specific geographical position, the diversity of the
geological substrate, its altitude, and the historical development of flora and
vegetation have impacted significantly on the diversity of the plant world there.
The aim of this research was to provide important ethnobotanical information
on the knowledge and wide range of medicinal plant use in the Stara Planina region
and to identify important plant resources for future pharmacological research. In
addition, it was intended to highlight their importance and role in contemporary health
care and in improving the economic status of the local population.
Following a qualitative anthropological approach, 51 people were questioned
using semi-structured interviews. Through this research, it was established that the
informants are familiar with 157 medicinal species, which are used to treat various
health problems or for food, or they collect them for other purposes, such as to sell
them. Furthermore, research showed the greatest diversity of species comes from the
Asteraceae, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae families, while plants from the Alliaceae,
Cornaceae, Gentianaceae, Hypericaceae, Juglandaceae, Rosaceae, Lamiaceae,
Adoxaceae and Asteraceae families have the maximum use value (UV=1). The
majority of the recorded species are wild, but some are cultivated (species of the genus
Allium, Calendula officinalis, Cydonia oblonga, Hyssopus officinalis, Ocimum
basilicum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Ruta graveolens, Salvia officinalis, Tanacetum
parthenium and Zea mays), while Sempervivum tectorum, Morus nigra, Juglans
regia, and Mentha x piperita are found as both wild and cultivated species. The most common use of medicinal plants according to the informants is to treat
gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, genitourinary and skin problems. The
aerial parts, root, flowers, fruit or whole plant are used in the various methods of
preparation mentioned (infusions, decoctions, oils, balsams, juices, syrups, and
‘travarica’ brandy), with infusion the predominant dosage form.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of herbal plants in the entire flora of Stara
Planina mountain revealed that this region has extremely good botanical potential.
However, it has an extremely unfavourable demographic structure, reflected in the
small number of inhabitants, who are mainly elderly. For this reason, there is a danger
that the traditional knowledge and skills, spanning several centuries, associated with
ethnomedicine will be lost.
The results of this study may be important for rural development programmes
in southeastern Serbian, which includes the Stara Planina region, with the aim of
encouraging strategies for the management of natural resources in the area.
Documentation on traditional knowledge of this region's medicinal plant resources
should be stored by official agencies at the national level to prevent it being lost and
forgotten.

AB  - Concentrations of four trace elements (Cu, Mn, Sr and Zn) were measured in the leaf samples of Aesculus hippocastanum and Acer platanoides collected in urban parks in Pančevo and Belgrade, Serbia. The objectives were to assess the leaf tissue element content and to analyze the chemical composition of leaf surface particles. The results showed that the highest concentrations of trace elements for both plant species were measured at Pionirski Park sampling site which is exposed to severe traffic. Results for Cu and Zn in Narodna bašta for both species and for P. acerifolia from Topčider Park were below the normal range while Sr from all sampling sites was in toxic range for plants. The results of chemical composition of deposited particles (EDS analysis) showed that the most abundant elements found in particles deposited on the leaves of both species come from mineral dust or soil, or represent main constituents of plants. Deposition of particles was more efficient on A. hippocastanum in relation to P. acerifolia leaves, while sampling sites that stood out for the highest particle deposition were Narodna bašta for leaves of A. hippocastanum, and Pionirski Park for P. acerifolia.

AB  - Contaminated sediments transported onto the river terrace during high water events can contribute significant quantities of potentially toxic elements to riparian soils. Seven trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) were analysed in the river sediment and riparian soil of the River Sava and their spatial distribution, potential toxicity and ecological risk levels were evaluated. The results showed that levels of all the trace metals were enriched to varying extents in both the sediment (As, Cr, Ni, and Pb) and soil (Ni) when compared to reference levels for sediments and European soils. Mean concentrations of trace metals in sediment and soil, apart from Pb, increased downstream in the River Sava. The similar increasing trend of these elements in sediment and soil may be explained by their increased load due to anthropogenic pressures (As, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn in sediment and the significant accumulation of Ni in soil) and frequent periodic flooding (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn in sediment and Cd in soil are influenced by both high water events and natural factors such as the geological substrate), particularly in lowland regions. In this study, soluble As, Cd, Cr, Cu and Ni fractions in sediment and soil <10% indicated their low mobility. The exceptions were readily soluble Pb and Zn in the sediment and soil at some sampling sites. In the lower reaches, levels of Pb in sediment was indicative of a medium environmental hazard, while there was a high environmental hazard in the upper reaches with the average Pb content in sediment higher than the PEL. Pollution factors for Pb in soil indicated a medium environmental hazard in the upper and middle reaches and a high environmental hazard at some sites in the lower stretches of the Sava River, although total Pb content in soil was within the range proposed for European soils.

AB  - This study provides significant ethnobotanical informa-ion on medicinal plant use in the Stara planina region (south-eastern Serbia). The research area is characterized by a high diversity of plant species, which have a wide range of medicinal and dietary uses among the local population. The aim of this study was to document all the traditional knowledge and analyze the medicinal plants used in this area, as well as to identify plant species of importance for future pharmacological studies. Local knowledge was obtained through semi-structured and open interviews, in which 51 informants, aged between 49 and 92 (with a mean age of 70.5), were interviewed. The relative importance of the plant species was determined by calculating the use value (UV). The informants provided data on 157 medicinal and edible plants belonging to 57 families, of which Asteraceae, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae predominated in their local use. The species with the highest use values in ethnomedicine and diet were Allium ursinum, Achillea millefolium, Carlina acaulis, Cornus mas, Corylus avellana, Fragaria vesca, Gentiana asclepiadea, G. cruciata, G. lutea, Hypericum perfor-atum, Juglans regia, Mentha × piperita, Plantago lanceolata, P. major, Rosa canina, Rubus fruticosus, R. idaeus, Sambucus nigra, Satureja montana, Thymus serpyllum, Vaccinium myrtillus andV. vitis-idaea. Medicinal plants were used most commonly to treat respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, skin and cardiovascular conditions, as well as for detoxifi cation and strengthening the body. Aerial parts of medicinal plants (mostly when in bloom) are traditionally used in making various preparations (teas, decoctions, tinctures, oils, ointments, balms, juices, syrups, and ‘travarica’ brandy). Ethnobotanical research in the Stara Planina region has established that the fruits, leaves, aerial parts or roots of the 47 plant species are used as food and drink in the form of juices, syrups, sweets, brandy, spices, salads (in their fresh state) and for making various other dishes. Ethnobotanical knowledge in this area is decreasing due to high emigration rates in recent times. However, this historically developed ethnobotanical heritage should be preserved and promoted on a wider level and given special consideration in future management plans for the Stara planina region.

AB  - Increasing industrialization and human activities intensify the emission of various pollutants, including metals and other harmful substances into the environment. Concentration of Co, Ni and Pb were determined in the surface layer of soil (0-20 cm) and in 1- and 2-year old needles of Pinus nigra in urban parks in three cities in Serbia exposed to different pollution sources. Contamination factor was used to assess potential ecological risk in urban topsoil. Analysis showed that Ni concentrations in soil surpass the target value of 35 mg kg-1 but are below background values for selected sampling sites, which indicates its geological origin. However, Pb content in all examined soils surpassed the background values, and in Smederevo the target value of 85 mg kg-1. This was confirmed by contamination factor that indicates moderate contamination and anthropogenic influence. Element content in both 1- and 2-year old needles was within normal values for plant tissues. Although results obtained in this study suggest low contamination in needles, it should be noted that anthropogenic and industrial pollution causes alkalinization of soils in examined parks, which consequently leads to immobilization of elements in soils.

Ispitivanja su pokazala viši sadržaj ispitivanih elemenata u uzorcima zemljišta od prosečnih vrednosti za zemljišta peskovitog i praškasto-ilovastog sastava, pri čemu su koncentracije Cr u parkovima u Pančevu i Obrenovcu, Ni na svim staništima, Pb u parku u Obrenovcu i Zn u parku u Smederevu bile više i od graničnih vrednosti za te tipove zemljišta saglasno uredbi Republike Srbije1, što ukazuje na potencijalni rizik za razvoj urbane vegetacije. Međutim, koncentracije ispitivanih elemenata u listovima A. platanoides su u opsegu prosečnih vrednosti za biljke. Izuzetak predstavlja povišen sadržaj Cr i sadržaj Zn u opsegu deficita za biljke. Diskriminantna analiza je pokazala značajnu diferencijaciju između ispitivanih staništa, ukazujući na to da je akumulacija potencijalno toksičnih elemenata u listovima A. platanoides vezana za lokalne uslove staništa. Na listovima A. platanoides nije detektovano prisustvo simptoma toksičnosti Cr odnosno deficita Zn, što ukazuje da ova drvenasta vrsta toleriše disbalans esencijalnih i potencijalno teških metala u urbanim zemljištima i da je shodno tome pogodna za sadnju u urbanim parkovima.

AB  - Purpose Riparian zone contamination is a growing problem for several European catchments due to high anthropogenic pressures. This study investigates As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations in the Sava River riparian zone, characterized by wide agricultural areas, various geological substrates, and different types of industrial pollution. The accumulation and mobility of these elements were studied because they are listed as priority substances in the Water Framework Directive and environmental objectives for surface waters. Materials and methods Sampling was performed during the sampling campaign of the EU 7th FW-funded GLOBAQUA project in September 2015 during a low-water event. Soil samples were collected along the Sava River at 12 selected sampling sites, from a depth of 0–30 cm, at a distance of 10–15 m from the river bank. The extent of pollution was estimated by determining total and readily soluble element concentrations in the soils. Potential ecological risk and the source of the selected elements in the soils was determined using the enrichment factor (EF), potential ecological risk index (RI), and statistical methods such as the principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA). Results and discussion This study showed that concentrations of the selected elements increase along the Sava. In terms of origin, PCA and MLRA indicated that Cr and Ni in soils are predominantly lithogenic, while As, Cd, Pb, and Zn are both lithogenic and anthropogenic (ore deposits, industry, and agriculture). PCA singled out Cu since its origin in soil is most probably from specific point-source pollution. EF was generally minor to moderate for most of the examined elements, apart from Cu, for which the EF was significant at one sampling site. Overall ecological risk (RI) fell within the low-risk category for most sites, apart from Belgrade sampling site (BEO), where high total Cd content affected individual and overall ecological risk indicators, indicating Cd could represent a considerable ecological risk for the downstream riparian zone. Conclusions Purpose: Riparian zone contamination is a growing problem for several European catchments due to high anthropogenic pressures.

Conclusions: At downstream sites, there was a noticeable increase in PTE content, with Cd, Cr, Ni, and Zn exceeding the proposed threshold values for European soils, indicating rising contamination in riparian soils. In terms of the ecological risk, only Cd could pose a potential ecological threat for the downstream riparian zone.
