AB  - Soil degradation is a global problem and researchers are facing the challenge of assessing the scale, trends, and consequences of contributing processes. With this in mind, this study implemented the new concept of multiple soil degradation indices (MSDI) for the first time in the region of ˇSumadija and Western Serbia (SWS). This concept enables the simultaneous integration of several environmental components that can act separately or synergistically and offers concrete answers and information on the state and distribution of physical (PSDI), chemical (CSDI) and biological (BSDI) soil degradation. Using several different geospatial-modelled approaches, results indicated that physical degradation was the greatest contributor to soil degradation in the SWS region with an impact of 55%, followed by chemical degradation at 16%, while biological degradation only had a 6% impact. The dominant indicator of physical degradation was the vegetation cover management factor with an impact of approximately 58%, while for chemical degradation it was soil organic matter, with a relative impact of almost 49%. Total microflora and total number of fungi were the most significant biological indicators with an average impact of approximately 43%. In addition, this study indicated that about 59% of the region is currently
degraded, with about 44% of it classified as moderately degraded. The results of this study offer new insights into the geospatial dynamics of interactive degradation processes in Serbia and can form the basis for strengthening scientific, expert, and political support when implementing international and national policies concerned with protecting soil from degradation.

AB  - Determining the sources of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil is one of the basic postulates for dealing with them properly in the future. In addition to total PTEs, it is extremely important to identify sources of available PTEs, for two reasons: 1. to determine their actual impact on the ecosystem, and 2. to establish whether sufficient levels are present in soil if they are necessary for plant development. In this study, two receptor models were used to determine sources of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable PTEs in soil in Rasina District, Serbia in 2017: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF). Appropriate PCA was used for total forms and the accuracy of the models in determining sources was tested by comparing them. Based on the results, obtained in quite a complex geological environment, the universality and superiority of the PMF model in so-called diffusion systems, which are more prone to change, was confirmed. The PMF model took geological and anthropogenic sources, characteristic of PCA of total PTEs, into account in equal measure, as well as pedological sources, which are more characteristic of PCA of DTPA-PTEs. The accuracy of the model was also confirmed by the greater number of factors, i.e. 5 in the PMF model compared to 3 in PCA. Based on the obtained results, it is clear that the use of the PMF model is justified when determining sources of individual available PTEs in soil.

AB  - Alluvial soils of valleys of the Danube and Mlave rivers represent priority development areas with favorable conditions for life, agriculture and tourism in eastern Serbia. Operation of the thermal power plant Kostolac results in the emission of potentially toxic pollutants into the air, water and land. The goals were to determine the soil pollution with inorganic pollutants using different pollution indices, to identify of the sources of pollutants by means of principal component analysis and the loading of each factor for individual element assessed by multi-linear regression analyses. Chemical characteristics of the studied area resulted in division of the area into four impact zones upon the distance from main pollutants (power plant blocks and ash disposal dumps). There was no established soil pollution with potentially toxic elements in bulk of the agricultural territory. Two principal components (PC1 and PC2) explained about 73% of variance. Three studied elements (As, Cu and Pb) showed anthropogenic origin of their most concentrations in soil, while other elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Ni and Zn) were of a natural (geological) origin. Single pollution index showed moderate pollution level by Ni. Integrated Nemerow pollution index showed low to no pollution levels, indicating slight ecological risk. There were no established limitations for agricultural production in the studied area, except for the only spot polluted by As due to the great flooding event in the studied year.
