Among numerous global problems, one of the most significant is air pollution. In this paper, unwashed (U) and water-washed (W) needles of two conifers—European larch and Douglas fir—were used to assess their capacity for the retention and accumulation of heavy metals. The needle samples were used to represent the atmospheric deposition of heavy met...

In the paper was investigated the variability of the morphological and anatomical traits of one-year-old seedlings of different species from the genus Quercus (Quercus robur L., Quercus petraea Matt. Liebl. and Quercus frainetto Ten.) cultivated in a plastic container Bosnaplast 18. The acorn was sown in November 2022, while the measurements of the...

From productive and ecological point of view, Quercus robur L. is an extremely important species and the investigation of its anatomical properties is very significant in terms of its technical and technological utilization. The paper deals with the analysis of the wood fiber characteristics (fiber length, fiber lumen width, double-cell wall thickn...

Taxus baccata L. is a rare species in the forests of Serbia, holding the status of a protected species as a tertiary relic. Contrary to the distribution in forests, the species is represented in parks. Yew is a dioecious species that bears fruit every or every other year, and the seeds are surrounded by a fleshy red covering that is extremely attra...

The research was conducted in the area of Northern Serbia. The lowland hygrophilous forests of Gornji Srem where pedunculate oak is the dominant tree species were studied. In the paper was investigated the content of essential and non-essential heavy metals (Cu, Zn, As, Mn, Co, Pb, Ni, Cd) on two different soil types: hydromorphic (fluvisol) and au...

Lowland pedunculate oak forests in the alluvium of the river Sava are of a great economic and ecological importance. Their growth and development features, and their survival, as well, mostly depend on soil moisture and available water. The paper deals with the influence of groundwater level on pedunculate oak forests condition in flooded area of D...

In this paper the variability of morphological (needle length and needle width) and anatomical (resin ducts width, epidermis thickness, hypodermis height, number of the hypodermis layers and needle thickness) properties of Pinus nigra J.F. Arnold (black pine) needles were studied at the intra-and inter-population levels. Two mountains in Serbia, Ja...

In the paper are shown results of the analysis of medicinal plants at the area of Gornji Srem within three management units: "Blata-Malovanci" (forest type Carpino-Fraxino-Quercetum roboris caricetosum remotae), "Raškovica-Smogvica" (forest type Fraxino-Quercetum roboris aceretosum) and "Vinična-Žeravinac Puk" (forest type Carpino-Fraxino-Quercetum...
