AB  - The aim of this research was to quantifythe content of hazardous elements in the needles ofNorway spruce (Picea abies L.) in the natural habitatsthat were accumulated from thermal power plants,mines, and metal processing industry. Fifteen naturalpopulations of the Norway spruce were sampled fromthe mountain ranges in Southeastern Europe (DinaricAlps and Balkan Mountains). Two-year-old spruceneedles were evaluated the content of the followinghazardous elements: heavy metals cadmium, mercury,nickel, lead and zinc, and metalloid arsenic. The effectof the distance between air pollution emitters and theNorway spruce natural habitats on the hazardous elementscontent in needles was also evaluated. Theresults of the analysis of variance confirmed interpopulationdifferences in the content of all analyzed hazardous elements. The effect of the air pollutionsource (thermal power plants, mines, and industry) onthe content of hazardous elements in the spruce needleswas also assessed. Significant correlation wasfound between the distance of air pollution emittersand the amount of zinc. This study could serve as thestartup point of future monitoring programs and providenew prospect of using Norway spruce needlesas the bioindicator of air pollution with hazardouselements on Balkan Peninsula since the fact that theNorway spruce natural populations inhabit wide geographicrange of the continental Europe, from the BalkanPeninsula, over European Alps to Scandinavia anda large-scale of altitude from 980 to 1860 m above sealevel.

AB  - Interpopulation and intrapopulation variability of three morphological needle traits (length, width and thickness) was investigated in 16 natural silver fir populations in the Balkan Peninsula. The populations represent refugial areas of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.). This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the influence of climatic factors (mean annual temperature, number of days with temperatures < 0, > 5, < 18, > 18oC, Hargreaves climatic moisture deficit and De Martonne aridity index, on the pattern of morphological needle traits within each population. Populations showed variation in the analyzed morphological needle traits, which could not be clearly defined by any of the analyzed climatic factors. The De Martonne aridity index and Hargreaves climatic moisture deficit had the greatest impact on the trait values, whereas the mean annual precipitation had the lowest. Evolutionary ecology research of the silver fir needle morphology is a valuable contribution to the comprehention of the present genetic variability as a prerequisite for adaptation to the rapid climate change and conservation of the species area in the Balkan Peninsula region.

AB  - Geographical and climatic characteristics (elevation, mean annual temperature, summer heat: moisture index, evaporation,
climatic moisture deficit, growing degree-days, heating degree-days, de Martonne’s aridity index) drive variations in
the morphological and anatomical traits of the Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) needle (needle length, needle thickness,
needle width, epidermis thickness with cuticle, hypodermis height, central bundle diameter, resin duct diameter, and the
number of resin ducts). We studied the pattern of variation in these needle characteristics in 15 Balkan Mountains (BM) and
Dinaric Alps (DA) natural populations (altitudes ranging from 1100 to 1860 and from 980 to 1530 m a.s.l., respectively).
The needle traits showed significant differentiation between mountain regions, between populations and within populations.
The largest contribution of genetic component in phenotypic variation had the needle length, both components had the same
share in the needle width, whereas the environmental component of variability had the largest share in the other needle traits.
The principal component analysis revealed that anatomical needle traits and the climatic conditions contributed to differences
between populations from different mountain regions. An agglomerative hierarchical clustering analysis revealed three
dendogram clusters: three BM populations made one cluster, DA populations made the second, whereas seven populations
close to the BM populations and five close to the DA populations made the third cluster. Patterns of morpho-anatomical
phenotypic variability point to selective mechanisms and adjustments, enable to define the boundaries of climate niches,
and may provide a starting point for conservation program according to climate change projections in the Balkan region.
