AB  - Background: Anthropogenic activities have clearly affected the environment, with irre-
versible and destructive consequences. Mining activities have a significant negative impact, primarily
on soil, and then on human health. The negative impact of the first mining activities is represented
even today in the soils of those localities. Research shows that, for different types of mines, the
concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are high, especially in antimony, multi-metal and
lead–zinc mines, which have adverse effects on the environment and then on human health and the
economy. A large flood in 2014 in Western Serbia resulted in the breaking of the dam of the processed
antimony ore dump of the former antimony mine, causing toxic tailings to spill and pollute the
downstream area. Due to this accident, tailings material flooded the area downstream of the dump,
and severely affected the local agriculture and population. Methods: Potentially toxic elements
content, pollution indices and health indices were determined in soil samples from the flooded area,
using referenced methodologies. The sources and routes of pollutants and risks were determined
and quantified using statistical principal component analysis, positive matrix factorisation, and
a Monte Carlo simulation. Results: The main source of As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Sb and Zn in the upper part
of the study area was the tailing material. Based on the pollution indices, about 72% of the studied
samples show a high risk of contamination and are mainly distributed immediately downstream of
the tailings dump that was spilled due to heavy rainfall. Conclusions: Although the content of the
PTEs is high, there is no non-carcinogenic risk for any PTEs except As, for which a threshold risk was
determined. There is no carcinogenic risk in the study area.

AB  - This paper aims to improve the methodology
and results accuracy of MEDALUS model for
assessing land degradation sensitivity through the
application of different data detail levels and by introducing
the application of Ellenberg indices in metrics
related to vegetation drought sensitivity assessment.
For that purpose, the MEDALUS model was applied
at 2 levels of detail. Level I (municipality level)
implied the use of available large-scale databases and
level II (watershed) contains more detailed information
about vegetation used in the calculation of the
VQI and MQI factors (Fig. S6). The comparison
was made using data based on CORINE Land Cover
(2012) and forest inventory data, complemented with
object-based classification. Results showed that data
based on forest inventory data with the application
of Ellenberg’s indices and object-based classification
have one class more, critical (C1 and C2) and that
the percentage distribution of classes is different in
both quantitative (area size of class sensitivity) and
qualitative (aggregation and dispersion of sensitivity
classes). The use of data from Forest Management
Plans and the application of Ellenberg’s indices affect
the quality of the results and find its application in the
model, especially if these results are used for monitoring
and land area management on fine scales. Remote
sensed data images (Sentinel-2B) were introduced
into the methodology as a very important environmental
monitoring tool and model results validation.

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  - 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  - Soil erosion caused by climate change and
changes in land use increases or decreases
depending on the geographic location, climate
scenarios, precipitation patterns, topographic
potential, and land management practices. Forf
this reason, the impact of climate change on
soil erosion needs to be analysed at the
regional and/or local levels. Bearing in mind
that climate and land use will change in the
future, the purpose of this chapter is to quantify
the current intensity of soil erosion, taking the
Vranjska Valley (southern Serbia) as an
example, to simulate soil losses for 2050 and
2100 due to changes in climate and land use,
and to analyse the spatial and temporal grouping of clusters of soil loss for 2015 and 2100.
The Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) of the sediment
delivery ratio (SDR) model integrated with
the EBU-POM (Eta Belgrade UniversityPrinceton Ocean Model) regional climate
model was used with the aim of quantifying
erosion intensity in the Vranjska Valley
region. The results of research in the Vranjska
Valley region show that average erosion
intensity during 2015 amounted to 5.33 t ha−1
yr−1. According to the A1B scenario, average
annual soil loss is expected to fall for the two
periods in the future, by 6.6% (2050) and
41.8% (2100), mainly as a result of a reduction
in the rainfall erosivity factor. Measures which
could protect soil effectively in the future
include reforestation with drought-resistant
species, soil conservation, no-till practices,
and an evaluation of current erosion models.

intensity during 2015 amounted to 5.33 t ha−1
yr−1. According to the A1B scenario, average
annual soil loss is expected to fall for the two
periods in the future, by 6.6% (2050) and
41.8% (2100), mainly as a result of a reduction
in the rainfall erosivity factor. Measures which
could protect soil effectively in the future
include reforestation with drought-resistant
species, soil conservation, no-till practices,
and an evaluation of current erosion models.",

AB  - The potentially toxic elements (PTEs), (synonyms: microelements, heavy metals or trace elements) in the soil originate from natural as well as from anthropogenic sources, which have been significantly intensified since the Industrial Revolution. By definition, soil pollution refers to the presence of a chemical or substance, which can have negative effects on certain receptors in soil, in a concentration usually higher than natural (background), while soil contamination refers to the presence of PTEs in a concentration higher than natural, but not necessarily with harmful effects. Taking into account the importance of preserving the multifunctional character of the soil, it is important to define the limit values of PTEs for contaminated soils, as well as their background values. It is desirable to determine their background values at the regional level, for soils formed on different parent materials. Great efforts have been made in that direction so far, but determining the background value remains the great challenge, primarily from the point of view of the methodology applied. Risk assessment of the impact of contaminated soil is a complex, multi-layered process addressed in this chapter. Methods for determining the origin of the PTEs in soil are listed, as well as methods for estimating the degree of pollution. The most commonly used pollution indices  for defining the degree of pollution in different ways of land use are considered. It is common to use several pollution indices at the same time to assess the impact of the PTEs in the soil on the environment, and the geological index and enrichment factor (Igeo and EF) are listed as significant and universal among individual indices, while the index of potential environmental risk (RI) stands out among more complex ones.

AB  - Mathematical models are an important tool for assessing the degree of degradation of natural ecosystems caused by anthropogenic impact to provide relevant information to decision-makers to improve the quality of the environment globally, regionally and locally. The paper presents various methods for assessing the susceptibility of soil to acidification. Methods and models are presented concerning the complexity of available databases and the model's applicability scope. The process of acidification of natural ecosystems has reached a global scale after several ecological catastrophes caused by increased emissions of acid oxides in the 1970s. To overcome this problem, the LRTAP conventions with eight protocols has been established to control and reduce emissions of pollutants to preserve the quality of the environment and natural ecosystems. Through the LRTAP convention protocols, different mathematical models have been developed to assess the impact of air pollution on natural ecosystems. Within the framework of this convention, the concept of forest ecosystem monitoring (ICPF) and "Critical Loads" concept has been established to define maximum concentrations of air pollutants at which the structure and functions of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems remain stable in the long run. This concept and its models have been intensively upgraded since the 1980s, and the latest requirements in the development of dynamic models go in implementation in integrated assessment models and so-called "Scenario Analysis". t should also be born in mind that good predictable capabilities of the model require relevant formulations of ecosystem processes, which can be established only based on quality databasis in longer time series. It is very difficult to validate the output data of models dealing with natural processes. To overcome this problem to a certain extant, it is very important to support further ecosystem monitoring on different scales and scopes and to apply a multi-model approach to explain a natural phenomenon.

AB  - У овом раду су приказани резултати истраживања одабраних потенцијално токсичних елемената у земљишту неколико паркова у Београду. 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. Добијене вредности EF, Eri и RI су ниске, указујући да нема обогаћења земљишта испитиваним елементима на истраживаним локалитетима, а самим тим ни потенцијалног еколошког ризика по животну средину. Међутим, резултати Cf и Cdeg указују на умерен степен контаминације испитиваних земљишта.

Povišene koncentracije As i Ni su sa jedne strane posledica prirode geološke podloge, a sa druge rezultat intenzivnog saobraćaja i emisije izduvnih gasova iz vozila. Analiza glavnih komponenti ukazuje na geološko poreklo Fe i Mn, dok As, Cu, Ni, Pb i Zn verovatno potiču iz antropogenih izvora. Dalje je utvrđeno da Cr potiče i iz prirodnih i iz antropogenih izvora. Dobijene vrednosti EF, Eri i RI su niske, ukazujući da nema obogaćenja zemljišta ispitivanim elementima na istraživanim lokalitetima, a samim tim ni potencijalnog ekološkog rizika po životnu sredinu.

AB  - The topsoil is the most exposed, and contains the highest concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). The increased content of PTEs in the soil is directly related to anthropogenic inflow, and due to their toxicity, persistence and high bioaccumulation potential, PTEs pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. In order to determine the negative effects that PTEs have on living beings, numerous researches and experiments have been performed on various living models (organisms), so that the findings can be applied to assess health risks to humans.
This chapter aimed to provide a brief overview of the current literature concerning the impact of PTEs from soil on human health, and also to highlight current national legislation and their shortcomings. The authors provided an insight into the latest world and European methodologies for health risk assessment, as well as a proposal for their implementation at the national level. The main problem represents the literary inconsistency, which is why it should be of worldwide interest to reduce the differences in legal regulations at the global level.
When assessing the risk to human health, it is necessary to first identify the pollutant (agent), and then determine the doses at which these effects are manifested. The third step in health risk assessment is exposure, which involves the contact of the individual with pollutants. The most complete methodology was presented by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), which has been dealing with this issue for many years and is constantly improving it, and integrates the most recent data from the world's agencies. The author's recommendation is that the adoption of laws related to the assessment of health risks of PTEs from soil to humans should be harmonized with the norms defined by the USEPA, which would significantly improve existing health system and quality of life.

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.

AB  - The primary focus of this research was the chemical fractionation of potentially toxic
elements (PTEs) and their presence in several industrialised cities in Serbia. Furthermore, their
origin, contamination levels, and environmental and human health risks were assessed. The results
indicated that the examined soils were characterised by slightly higher Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn levels than
those set by European and national regulations. These elevated Cu, Pb, and Zn concentrations were
caused by intensive traffic and proximity to industry, whereas the higher Ni levels were a result of
the specific geological substrate of the soil in the study area. The environmental risk was found to
be low and there was no enrichment/contamination of the soil with these elements, except in the
case of Pb, for which moderate to significant enrichment was found. Lead also poses a potential
non-carcinogenic risk to children through ingestion and requires special attention due to the fact
that a significant proportion of this element was present in the tested soil samples in a potentially
available form. Analysis of the health risks showed that children are more at risk than adults from
contaminants and that ingestion is the riskiest exposure route. The carcinogenic risk was within the
acceptable limits.

AB  - Land degradation and desertification (LDD) is one of the greatest ecological challenges of today, with climate change resulting from anthropogenic factors a major cause of it. Recent projections of LDD in the Mediterranean region indicate a gradual widening of arid areas due to increased aridity and global warming by the end of the 21st century. Therefore, this study used the MEDALUS method to identify sensitivity to LDD in Western Serbia between 1986 and 2005 and to assess possible effects of climate change (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios) on land degradation processes by the end of the 21st century. Likewise, analysis of possible major drivers of degradation was conducted using principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA). The study revealed that degradation processes in the study area were found to be most influenced by anthropogenic drivers (34.4%), less so by natural/anthropogenic ones (23.5%), and least by natural factors (20.1%). Results also showed that critical areas of LDD susceptibility account for nearly 37% of the study area, transitional areas cover 35%, while 27% constitutes potentially safe areas. Additionally, critical areas were projected to expand by 33.6% (RCP4.5) and 51.7% (RCP8.5) by 2100 as a result of predicted temperature increases and a reduction in precipitation in the study area. This study also revealed that the Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) better explains the impact of climate change on LDD than other indices, bearing in mind the capacity of this index to detect temporal oscillations in drought in the context of climate change, and it is therefore a reliable climate parameter for this method.

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.

AB  - Microbially mediated soil organic matter is an extremely sensitive pool that indicates subtle changes in the quality parameters responsible for the soil’s ecological and productive functions. Fifty years of mineral fertilization of a wheat-corn cropping system has a strong impact on soil quality parameters. The goal of the research was to study the dynamics and quality of soil biological parameters affected by increasing amounts of mineral nitrogen. Soil respiration, potentially mineralizable C and N, microbial biomass C and N and light-fraction OM on Cambisol were analyzed in the following treatments: (1) Control (without fertilization); (2) NPK (60/51/67); (3) NPK (90/51/67); (4) NPK (120/51/67); (5) NPK (150/51/67 kg ha−1). The parameters studied were significantly affected by the long-term application of mineral fertilizer compared with both the control and the adjacent native soil. The highest amounts of nitrogen (N150) did not significantly differ from N120 and N90 for most of the parameters studied. Potentially mineralizable C represented the largest labile carbon pool, while microbial biomass N was the largest labile nitrogen pool. The mineralization rates for C and N were oppositely distributed over the seasons. The sensitivity index correlated with the amount of light-fraction OM. The results give a deeper insight into the behavior and distribution of different pools of labile SOM in the agro-landscapes and can serve as a reliable basis for further research focused on zero soil degradation.

AB  - This research represents a comparative analysis of the effect of Pb on the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and total carotenoids) in deciduous Tilia sp and in the coniferous Pinus nigra species in two cities in Serbia that are exposed to different types of pollution. The aims were to determine which species is more efficient in Pb accumulation and to analyze the difference in chlorophyll a and total carotenoids content. Also, the potential of selected species to be grown in polluted environments was assessed. Results obtained showed that both species accumulated Pb in small amounts, and that samples from Belgrade contained higher amounts of Pb in relation to Smederevo. When comparing species, it was revealed that Tilia sp leaves had higher content of photosynthetic pigments in relation to P. nigra needles, probably due to epicuticular waxes that are present on needles and that selectively reflect blue light. Both species from Smederevo had higher content of photosynthetic pigments, however obtained difference between cities was not significant. This indicates that tested species are tolerant to Pb pollution and that can be recommended for planting in urban areas.

AB  - The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the large-scale irrigation of cotton fields in arid and desert areas of the Turkestan region inevitably leads to the processes of soil salinization. Salinity is a global problem for humanity. Soil salinization is associated with drainage problems, improper use of water resources, growing demand for agricultural products, which leads to increased pressure on agricultural land. In this regard, this paper is directed at investigating the soil salinity of the irrigated light serozem in a cotton farm of Southern Kazakhstan (now Turkestan region) under the vertical drainage, which would provide the necessary background for the reconstruction of the collection-drainage system of the whole region, thus contributing to the increasing the net yield and the quality of the row cotton, as well as preventing soil deterioration. The leading method for studying the issues of the article was the dispersion method, according to which the salinity of soils was determined by seasons. The main objectives were studying the dynamics of salts changes seasonally and timely under the vertical drainage and studying the spatial distribution of salts in the cotton-based farm. The results showed that in 2014 there was recorded a positive dynamic of changes compared to 2012. In spring 2014, the area under medium saline soil in the 0-20 cm layer decreased from 79.5 to 57.7 %; the weakly saline soil area increased from 20.5 to 34.6 %. In the autumn and winter periods, the area of strongly saline soils decreased from 25.6 to 14.1 %. The area of non-saline soils was recorded at 7.7 %. The results showed that changes in the amount of the ions, both vertically and seasonally, occur with the transport of salts along with soil profile under the influence of temperature gradients and the level of groundwater, i.e., in spring from up to down, and in autumn and winter, contrary from down to up. The theoretical and practical value of the study lies in the fact that the material for improving, preventing the salinization of soils will lead to an increase in the general level of ecological safety of the region and country in general.

AB  - The impacts of climate changes on land are being studied from different perspectives,
regarding future scenarios. By the end of century, in Serbia, mean temperature will increase
by more than 2.5 °C, according to RCP4.5 stabilization scenario, and more than 5°C,
according to RCP8.5, constant increasing scenario, with decrease in summer precipitations
(Vuković et al., 2018). The expected climate change will cause unfavorable conditions for
tererestrial ecosystems, adverse soil thermal and water regime. The survey was conducted in
the area of Prijepolje municipality (southeastern Serbia), where many important terrestrial
ecosystems were declared as protected area. Beside natural habitat of Picea omorika, there
are significant complexes of coniferous, decidious and mixed forests, pastures and
agricultural areas. The aim of the paper is to analyze the SPEI drought index for different
terrestrial ecosystems. EURO-CORDEKS datasets for nine different models and two
representative scenarios were used. According to IPCC-AR5, recommended climatological
periods are: 2016-2035(near future), 2046-2065(middle of the century) and 2081-2100(end of
the century). The SPEI was calculated over a six-month period (March-August), which
allows changes dynamics monitoring during the warmer part of the year, especially for
periods when maximum precipitation is expected in western Serbia (May-June-July) and
according to other projections, the largest deficits are expected. According to RCP4.5, the
SPEI shows that most of Prijepolje municipality will be affected by normal, moderate and
partly severe droughts (2081-2100), with coniferous forests and natural grasslands being the
most vulnerable, followed by mixed and deciduous forests. According to RCP8.5, SPEI
indicates the occurrence of normal and moderate drought for 2016-2035 and 2046-2065
periods, while in 2081-2100 period, whole area is affected by severe drought with areas under
the extreme drought influence, particularly coniferous and mixed forests being the most
vulnerable ecosystems. Regarding results for forest and natural grassland ecosystems,
planning and management measures should be taken carefully, due to fragility of these
ecosystems.

AB  - The focus of this research on children’s playgrounds with artificial surfaces aimed to establish levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in dust, their origin, and impact on children at 15 playgrounds: 9 on school grounds and 6 on day nurseries in Belgrade (Serbia). Soil samples were taken from the immediate vicinity of the playgrounds to establish the origin of PTEs in the dust samples. Soil analyses revealed the lithogenic origin of Co, Cr, Ni, Fe, Mn, As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn and the anthropogenic origin of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn. However, in the dust samples, the origin of the elements was different with As, Co, Fe, and Mn originating from the surrounding soil; Cr and Ni levels affected by both atmospheric deposition and the surrounding soil; Cd, Pb, and Zn concentrations impacted by atmospheric deposition; and Cu levels affected by factors of a local character. No noncancer risk was found for any of the individual elements investigated, nor for any of the playgrounds being studied, while a minimal cancer risk was found from As with values greater than 1E−6 at almost all the sites. Based on the results obtained for the spatial distribution of individual PTE levels, it was determined that the surrounding soil and atmospheric deposition have an almost equal impact on noncancer risk values.

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.

МАТЕРИJАЛ И МЕТОД: Златиборски округ се налази у југозападном делу Републике Србије. Област се простире на површини од 6.140 km2 што представља 6,9% територије Републике Србије. Анализа осетљивости на деградацију земљишта је извршена на основу четири сета основних индикатора специфичних за ESA (Environmental Sensitive Areas) процедуру: Индекс квалитета климе (CQI), Индекс квалитета земљишта (SQI), Индекс квалитета вегетације (VQI) и Индекс квалитета управљања (MQI), (Kosmas et al., 1999) и петим додатим индикатором који оцењује Индекс социјалног квалитета (SoQI). Индикатори  су  развијени  на  основу  неколико  параметара  који  детерминишу  стање  
климе,   земљишта,   вегетације,   управљање   земљиштем     и социјалног ресурса.   За прецизније одређивање кластера који индиректно указују на појединачно порекло анализираних индикатора, коришћена је Principal component analysis (PCA). Резултати ове анализе су додатно анализирани применом вишеструке линеарне регресије (MLRA) и таку су добијени процентуални утицаји фактора на дезиртификацију земљишта. 

РЕЗУЛТАТИ    И    ЗАКЉУЧАК:    Резултати    укупног    индекса    деградације    добијени применом стандардних и додатних MEDALUS индикатора указали су на хетерогену просторну дистрибуцију истраживаног подручја. Издвојене су критичне области C1, C2  и C3 категорије (у интервалу од 1.38‐1.53). Квантитативно је утврђено да потенцијална подручја склона деградацији земљишта заузимају укупно 47% истраживаног подручја, да прелазна подручја (у интервалу 1.23–1.37) заузимају 32% истраживаног подручја, а 21% чине потецијално‐безбедна подручја. Применом PCA и MLRA, изведене су три компоненте, које објашњавају 98% варијанси. Прва компонента са 85,88% чине VQI и MQI варијансе и указују на антропогени утицај на деградацију земљишта. Друга компонента са 12,10% чине SQI и SoQI варијансе и указује на природно‐антропогени утицај, док трећа компонента са 0,13% укузаје на   риродни утицај (CQI). Резултати ових истраживања указују да примена MEDALUS модела, представља корисно средство за креирање могућих праваца одрживог управљања ресурсом земљишта на подручјима осетљивим на процесе деградације.
AB  - UVOD I CILjEVI: Degradacija zemljišta danas predstavlja ekološku pretnju globalnih razmera, pri čemu procesi dezertifikacije zahvataju 40% površine planete Zemlje i prisutni su na svim kontinentima. Dezertifikacija zemljišta predstavlja biofizički proces koji ima veliki uticaj na produktivnost i dostupnost hrane, kvalitet i kvantitet voda, biološku raznovrsnost, društveni suživot i generalno kvalitet života. Stoga istraživanje i rešavanje ovog kompleksnog problema zahtevaju multidisciplinaran pristup. Cilj ovog rada je procena rizika od dezertifikacije zemljišta na području Zlatiborskog okruga, analizom biofizičkih indikatora rizika. Analiza se zasniva na geoprostornom mapiranju i proceni osetljivosti indikatora na degradaciju, sublimacijom različitih GIS tehnika i statističkih metoda, kroz metodološki pristup primenom Mediterranean Desertification and Land Use (MEDALUS) modela. MATERIJAL I METOD: Zlatiborski okrug se nalazi u jugozapadnom delu Republike Srbije. Oblast se prostire na površini od 6.140 km2 što predstavlja 6,9% teritorije Republike Srbije. Analiza osetljivosti na degradaciju zemljišta je izvršena na osnovu četiri seta osnovnih indikatora specifičnih za ESA (Environmental Sensitive Areas) proceduru: Indeks kvaliteta klime (CQI), Indeks kvaliteta zemljišta (SQI), Indeks kvaliteta vegetacije (VQI) i Indeks kvaliteta upravljanja (MQI), (Kosmas et al., 1999) i petim dodatim indikatorom koji ocenjuje Indeks socijalnog kvaliteta (SoQI). Indikatori su razvijeni na osnovu nekoliko parametara koji determinišu stanje klime, zemljišta, vegetacije, upravljanje zemljištem i socijalnog resursa. Za preciznije određivanje klastera koji indirektno ukazuju na pojedinačno poreklo analiziranih indikatora, korišćena je Principal component analysis (PCA). Rezultati ove analize su dodatno analizirani primenom višestruke linearne regresije (MLRA) i taku su dobijeni procentualni uticaji faktora na dezirtifikaciju zemljišta. REZULTATI I ZAKLjUČAK: Rezultati ukupnog indeksa degradacije dobijeni primenom standardnih i dodatnih MEDALUS indikatora ukazali su na heterogenu prostornu distribuciju istraživanog područja. Izdvojene su kritične oblasti C1, C2 i C3 kategorije (u intervalu od 1.38‐1.53). Kvantitativno je utvrđeno da potencijalna područja sklona degradaciji zemljišta zauzimaju ukupno 47% istraživanog područja, da prelazna područja (u intervalu 1.23–1.37) zauzimaju 32% istraživanog područja, a 21% čine potecijalno‐bezbedna područja. Primenom PCA i MLRA, izvedene su tri komponente, koje objašnjavaju 98% varijansi. Prva komponenta sa 85,88% čine VQI i MQI varijanse i ukazuju na antropogeni uticaj na degradaciju zemljišta. Druga komponenta sa 12,10% čine SQI i SoQI varijanse i ukazuje na prirodno‐antropogeni uticaj, dok treća komponenta sa 0,13% ukuzaje na rirodni uticaj (CQI). Rezultati ovih istraživanja ukazuju da primena MEDALUS modela, predstavlja korisno sredstvo za kreiranje mogućih pravaca održivog upravljanja resursom zemljišta na područjima osetljivim na procese degradacije.

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  - In order to achieve a high yield and quality of apple fruit, more effective ways of fertilization are required in the modern, high density apple orchards. The objective of this research was to determine the efficiency (partial nutrient balance, PNB) of different methods (foliar and fertrigation) and forms (chelates and salts) of microelements application in relation to the levels of N fertilization in apple orchard cultivar (‘Golden Delicious’). The combined effects of these fertilizers on the number of apple fruits per tree and on the yield per tree were also studied. Foliar application of Mn, Zn and Fe had significantly higher partial nutrient balance values compared to the soil application in both years of the experiment. However, most of the PNB values were below 10% indicating relatively low efficiency of the applied fertilizers with microelements.

AB  - The mobility (fractionation) of rare earth elements (REEs) and their possible impacts on ecosystems are still relatively unknown. Soil samples were collected from two sites in central Serbia, an unpolluted mountain region (site 1) and a forest near a city (site 2). In order to investigate REE fractions (acid-soluble/exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable, and residual) in soils, BCR sequential extraction was performed. Additionally, the content of REEs was also determined in stipes and caps of the mushroom Macrolepiota procera, growing in the observed sites. Sc, Y, and lanthanide contents were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and results were subjected to multivariate data analysis. Application of pattern recognition technique revealed the existence of two distinguished clusters belonging to different geographical sites and determined by greater levels of Sc, Y, and lanthanides in Goč soil compared to Trstenik soil. Additionally, PCA analysis showed that REEs in soil were concentrated in two groups: the first consisted of elements belonging to light REEs and the second contained heavy REEs. These results suggest that the distribution of REEs in soils could indicate the geographical origin and type of soil. The bioconcentration factors and translocation factors for each REE were also calculated. This study provides baseline data on the rare earth element levels in the wild edible mushroom M. procera, growing in Serbia. In terms of bioconcentration and bioexclusion concept, Sc, Y, and REEs were bioexcluded in M. procera for both studied sites.
