AB  - The main objective of this study was to analyze the capacity of Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carrière 1855 to accumulate macro- and microelements in order to assess the environmental status. The element concentrations were measured using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The obtained pH values in this study show that the urban soils are neutral to slightly alkaline with low OM content. Macroelements with the highest mean concentrations in soil are Si, Al, Fe, K, Mg, and Ca. The ratio > 2 was determined for mean concentrations of Ca in the soil and Mg in needles from the Zvezdara forest, and for mean concentrations of Cl, Ti, and Fe in needles from the Byford’s forest in relation to the reference site. The accumulation pattern of the macroelements based on the Biological Concentration Factor (BCF) values > 1 for needles is for P, S, Cl, and Ca. Microelements with the highest mean values in soil are Ba, Zr, Ce, Cr, Zn, Rb, Sr, V, and La. Microelements with the highest mean values in Atlas cedar needles are Ce, La, Ba, and Cs. The ratio > 2 was determined for Cr and V concentrations in the needles from the Byford’s and Zvezdara forests and for Cu concentrations in needles from the Byford’s forest in relation to the reference site. The accumulation pattern of the microelements based on the BCF for needles is higher for I, Cs, Mo, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, and Tl. Since differences in the concentrations of macro- and microelements in the urban areas and the reference site can be identified C. atlantica can be recommended for assessing the environmental status.

AB  - Soil erosion is a problem that affects the landscape at different scales and represents a serious challenge for land management and soil conservation in both natural forests and meadows. The aim of this study was to determine how the parent material and land use affect the physical and chemical properties of the soil in the area of the Fruska gora Mountain. The soils were developed on five bedrock types: serpentinite, marl, trachyte, shale, loess and two land use types: forest and meadow. Twenty-three forest soil and 24 meadow soil from a depth of 0-20 cm were sampled from the Fruska gora Mt. Following properties were determined: pH, electrical conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential, content of organic carbon, sodium adsorption ratio, aggregate size and stability. There is no statistically significant difference in pH, Eh, EC, and SAR values between the analyzed forest and meadow soils, but there is a statistically significant difference in the content of Corg. It can be conculded that both the parent matrial, and to a slightly less extent, land use have a great influence on physico-chemical properties of the soil.
AB  - Ерозија земљишта је проблем који утиче на пределе у различитим размерама и представља озбиљан изазов за управљање земљиштем и очување земљишта како у природним шумама тако и на ливадама. Циљ овог истраживања био је да се утврди како матична стена и начин коришћење земљишта утичу на физичко-хемијске особине земљишта на подручју Фрушке горе. Земљишта су развијена на пет типова стена: серпентинит, лапорац, трахит, шкриљац, лес, као и на два начина коришћења терена: шума и ливада. Са Фрушке горе узоркована су 23 шумска земљишта и 24 ливадска земљишта са дубине од 0-20 цм. Одређена су следећа својства: pH, електрична проводљивост (EC), оксидо-редокс потенцијал (Eh), садржај органског угљеника (Corg), однос адсорпције натријума (SAR), величина агрегата и стабилност. Не постоји статистички значајна разлика у вредностима pH, Eh, EC и SAR између анализираних шумских и ливадских земљишта, али постоји статистички значајна разлика у садржају Corg. Може се закључити да на физичко-хемијске особине земљишта велики утицај имају изворни материјал и у нешто мањој мери начин коришћење земљишта.

AB  - Heavy metals as environmental pollutants can have natural or anthropogenic origin. To determine the river sediment pollution status, it is crucial to have appropriate reference samples, free of anthropogenic impact, and natural reference samples should be used wherever and whenever possible. The collection of reference samples should be performed in the vicinity of the research area in a place that belongs to the same geological environment and is undisturbed by human activity. The main purpose of this study was to compare concentrations of heavy metals from different rivers with background values to show that the usage of natural background values is the best option when assessing pollution status, but also to underline that the natural background values have to correspond to the analyzed sediments. In this study, 5 river sediments from Sava, 17 from Great War Island (GWI), 11 from Danube, 24 from Tisa, 47 from Tamiš, and 11 from Timok were evaluated relative to reference samples from the Sava and Tisa Rivers. The results indicate that geological origin has a strong influence on the content of heavy metals in river sediments, primarily regarding concentrations of Ni and Co. Furthermore, Tamiš, Tisa, Sava, and Danube sediments are under strong anthropogenic influence.

AB  - In Sečovlje Salina Nature Park, the therapeutic mud matured in the natural sedimentary environmental site. This work aimed to determine the influence of the peloid maturation process on the hydrocarbon and elemental distributions, as well as changes in morphology. For this purpose, the sample before and after maturation was examined using various methods. n-Alkanes were the most abundant among saturated hydrocarbons in both immature and mature peloid samples. The results showed that the maturation mainly influenced the change in distribution and concentration (from 378 to 1958 ppm) of n-alkanes. The organic matter (OM) of the immature peloid sample was characterized by a slight prevalence of long-chain and odd carbon-numbered n-alkanes, maximizing at n-C27. However, mature peloid's OM showed a similar share of short-, mid- and long-chain n-alkanes with a slight dominance of short-chain members, maximizing at n-C16. The origin of short-chain and even carbon-numbered n-alkanes was attributed to microbial precursors (e.g., Leptolyngbyaceae). Hopanes were considerably more dominant compared to steranes in both peloids. The hopane series of immature peloid was characterized by the dominance of 22,29,30-trinor-hop-5(6)-ene (C27 hopene), as well as the presence of C30-hop-22(29)-ene (diploptene), which are widespread in cyanobacterial species. The aromatic fraction of immature peloid pointed to the predominance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As peloid aging progressed, the sample was richer in methyl-branched alkanes, carboxylic acids, their methyl esters, and thermodynamically more stable hopanes and steranes. The presence of elements with toxicological relevance during maturation was reduced below the limits prescribed in most of the directives for cosmetic products. It specifically refers to: As, Ni and Se. A higher concentration of total sulfur in the mature peloid can be related to gypsum precipitation in the summer and/or more intensive microbial activity.

Са Фрушке горе узоркована су 23 шумска земљишта и 24 ливадска земљишта са дубине од 0-20 цм. Одређена су следећа својства: pH, електрична проводљивост (EC), оксидо-редокс потенцијал (Eh), садржај органског угљеника (Corg), однос адсорпције натријума (SAR), величина агрегата и стабилност. Не постоји статистички значајна разлика у вредностима pH, Eh, EC и SAR између анализираних шумских и ливадских земљишта, али постоји статистички значајна разлика у садржају Corg. Може се закључити да на физичко-хемијске особине земљишта велики утицај имају изворни материјал и у нешто мањој мери начин коришћење земљишта.",

AB  - The quality and vitality of cities largely depend on the design, management, and maintenance of green areas, including urban protected areas (UPAs), since they provide multiple benefits for the city. Due to urbanization and higher anthropogenic pressure, green areas are decreasing which directly afects natural habitats and biodiversity. This study aims to assess soil and vegetation chemical status in UPAs in the city of Belgrade, Serbia, and to understand how their distance from pollution hotspots affects soil and vegetation quality. Additionally, this paper considers the inclusion of soil and vegetation conditions in the urban protected areas management as a basis for introducing a connectivity approach to expand green infrastructure throughout the city. Chemical properties, the content of nutrients (C, N, P, and K), and microelements (Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Sn, Pb, Zr, U, and Th) in soil and conifer needles were analyzed. Results showed that the distance of pollution hotspots does not affect nutrient and microelements concentrations in soil, i.e., they do 
not vary significantly between sites and do not exceed remediation intervention values. However, the microelements status of vegetation is affected since Cr, Cu, Zn, Sn, and Pb are higher in needles from trees from the city center. The state of soil and plant composition supports the establishment of a network of green corridors and should become a part of management strategies, thus helping biodiversity protection, climate change mitigation, and human well-being in the cities.

AB  - Purpose
The Great War Island (GWI) is a landform of exceptional features and a protected area located in the center of Belgrade at the Sava and Danube River’s confluence. The position of GWI causes a large number of possible hydrocarbons inputs that influence the quality of both river waters and sediments. The main objective of this research is to assess the distribution and source of hydrocarbons in sediments deposited at the GWI depending on the river’s flow regimes and depositional environment.

Material and methods
Sediment samples were collected from 16 sites (11 sites along the GWI’s coast, 4 sites from the inner of the Island, and 1 specific wetland site). The grain size was determined using a standard wet sieving procedure. The extractable organic matter (OM) was quantified after Soxhlet extraction, and aliphatic and aromatic fractions were isolated by column chromatography. n-Alkanes, diterpanes, terpanes, steranes, and 16 PAHs are analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Results and discussion
Sand fraction predominates in coastal samples, and clay size fraction in the samples from the inner island environment. The predominance of odd higher n-alkanes indicates the terrestrial origin of OM, while the distribution of lower n-alkanes indicates a certain proportion of algae, bacteria, and/or high maturity of OM. The presence of oil-type pollutants is confirmed by thermodynamically stable biomarker isomers and/or the presence of unresolved complex mixture (UCM). Inner island samples are characterized by the largest amount of Corg (up 6%), indicating high bioproductivity and good preservation of OM. Samples from wetland environment are distinguished by the domination of pimaranes and phyllocladanes among saturated hydrocarbons.

Conclusions
This study revealed that sediments of the GWI mainly contain native OM with a certain anthropogenic input. The native OM predominately comes from higher terrestrial plants (Salix alba, Populus nigra, Fraxinus viridis, Taxodium distichum Rich.), followed by various types of grasses, macrophytes (Salvinia natans, Nymphaea alba), bacteria, algae, and phytoplankton. Anthropogenic OM originates from petroleum, but also combustion products arrived by deposition from the air and runoff.

AB  - Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements, but they are regarded as significant environmental pollutants due to their high density and high toxicity even at low concentrations. The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the pollution level of heavy metals in the river and riverbank sediments, as well as the estimation of their origin and spatial differences along the course of the Vrbas River through Banja Luka. The concentrations of metals have been assessed using the Inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry and Advanced mercury analyzer for mercury determination. The anthropogenic impact on heavy metal concentration in sediments was estimated by the calculating of pollution indices: geoaccumulation index (Igeo ), contamination factor (Cf ), pollution load index (PLI) and potential ecological risk index (Er). Obtained results indicate that there is no statistically significant spatial difference in metal concentration, indicating that heavy metals in sediments have a constant source. The anthropogenic impact expressed by the values of pollution indices showed that sites are generally uncontaminated by Co, Cr and V and moderately contaminated by Zn, Cu and Ni. On the contrary, lead, mercury and cadmium pose the highest ecological risk. The anthropogenic source of Pb, Hg and Cd is industry, municipal waste and the combustion of fossil fuels. The obtained results demonstrate the high ecological risk and the need for environmental monitoring, with the aim to support an efficient strategy to reduce local pollution and contamination of the investigated system.

Концентрације тешких метала одређиване су помоћу индуктивно спрегнуте плазме – оптичке емисионе спектрометрије и наменског живиног анализатора. Антропогени утицај на концентрацију тешких метала у седиментима процењен је израчунавањем различитих индекса загађења: индекса геоакумулације (Igeo),фактора контаминације (Cf), индекса оптерећења загађењем (PLI) и индекса потенцијалног еколошког ризика (Er).

AB  - The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has a vision that the proper evaluation of protected areas (PAs) leads to a greater interest, more significant investment, and better conservation of natural resources. The evaluation of ecosystem services (ES) provided by protected areas (PAs) is of long-term importance to the local and national economies. Mapping the values of PAs, greater participation of decision-makers, and finally changes in public policies and the development of economic models that include natural resources in their development plans are significant but also long-term processes. IUCN has established the Protected Areas Benefits Assessment Tool+ (PA-BAT+), which provides initial information on how different stakeholders view the current state and potential values of PAs, which can help integrate natural resources and services provided by ecosystems in development plans. Such a tool makes it possible to identify the main factors relevant to the PAs and the country’s development policy, the flow of economic benefits, and the need for strategies that will enable the return of income to local people and PAs. Factors relevant to the importance of specific jobs in PAs - which is vital for the rural economy and necessary for decision-makers could also be identified with this tool. Identifying these factors can increase PA’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, such as no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being for people, quality education, clean water and sanitation, sustainable cities and communities, climate action, life below water and life on land.

AB  - The main objectives of this research were to (i) investigate the concentration; (ii) characterize the distribution; (iii) determine the sources apportionment; (iv) estimate environmental and health risks of heavy metals in soil from mountain beech forest. A total of 76 soil samples from 20 pure beech forest stands from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA), Bulgaria (BG), Check Republic (CZ), Germany (DE), Italy (IT), Poland (PL), Romania (RO), Serbia (RS), Slovakia (SK), Slovenia (SL), and Spain (ES) were collected. The content of major elements was measured by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). The content of heavy metals was measured by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES). Heavy metals had a specific concentration range, which followed in soil samples from depth 0–40 cm the common order (low to high): Hg < Cd < As < Co < Pb < Ni < Cu < Cr < Zn, and from depth 40–80 cm: Hg < Cd < As < Pb < Co < Ni < Cu < Cr < Zn. The grouping of the examined parameters according to rock types, soil types, and localities indicated the separation of carbonate rocks from other substrates, luvisol, and rendzina from other soil types, and samples from BA, SL, and IT from other localities. According to sources apportionment As, Pb and Zn are of anthropogenic origin, Cd, Co, Cr, and Ni are of geogenic origin, while the middle position of Cu and Hg indicates a combined contribution of both sources. Elements Cd and Hg indicated severe to extremely severe enrichment with a mean value of 24.3 and 70.6, respectively. Based on the determined values Ni, Cr, As and Cd do not pose a health risk.

AB  - Urban forests are important part of cities’ green infrastructure, especially in cities with
great anthropogenic pressure as Belgrade is. Urban green areas enable people to connect
with nature and contribute to livability in cities, but some studies reported soil
pollution particularly with heavy metals.
Due to that, soil samples from Avala Mt,. and Byford’s and Zvezdara Forests were
collected from 15 sites and three depths (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 20-40 cm), making
a total of 45 analyzed samples. Among all analysis, content of microelements was
measured for the purposes of this research. No significant changes were observed
comparing sites or depths and among all measured elements Zn was the most and
Hg the least abundant. Analysis of microelements in soil showed that sustainable soil
quality Ni levels are exceeded in all samples, while Cr, Cd and Co levels only in some.
All of these results can be explained by forests’ age, geological origin and anthropogenic
origin and influence. Even though due to Serbian Soil Quality Regulation no remediation is required for now, in the light of predicted climate change, regular monitoring and assessment should be done to display soil quality and to maintain or improve urban forests sustainability.

AB  - Urban forest includes individual trees, but also associated vegetation and the soil
beneath the trees. In many regions, urban forests are the most extensive, functional
and visible form of green infrastructure in cities and occupy an important place in
mitigating and adapting to climate change and preservation of forest ecosystems.
These forests are safe islands for biodiversity and play a key role in preserving human
health and raising the quality of life in the city. However, urban forests face many challenges
including difficult growing condition, insufficient resources for proper care and
problems for development, which are enhanced by incomplete public understanding of
benefits that urban forests provide. Urban soils are often subject to several degradation
processes, such as erosion, compaction and pollution.
The Košutnjak urban forest (Belgrade, Serbia), occupies a total area of 305.32 ha, of
which 83% is forested. In 2014, 93% of the area was declared a Monument of Nature
“Košutnjak Forest” while the remaining 7% of the forest is intended for recreation
and general cultural and educational functions. The stand is mostly natural deciduous
hardwood tree and covers almost 70% of the forest. Košutnjak is home to many plant
and animal species, some of which are under strict protection. There are 521 plant
species, including for example oak (Quercus sp.), chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum),
cedar (Cedrus sp.), pine (Pinus sp.), hazel (Corylus sp.). In 2015, the average age
of the trees has been estimated to be 60–70 years. During the same year, about
50 ha of Košutnjak has been re-forested with 4,400 seedlings of ash (Fraxinus sp.)
and sycamore (Platanus sp.). However, trees in Košutnjak present a poorly developed
canopy, often rotten. The forest was seriously affected by the snowfall in December
2021, when a large number of trees fell, broke and bent. The general condition of the
forest is unfavorable, the assembly is interrupted and damaged. Due to steep slopes
and generally poor condition of vegetation, erosion processes are observed in the form
of scouring, rills, gullies and local movements of soil masses. Other forms of physical
degradation include compaction namely in observed wheel tracks.
The aim of this study is to investigate the connection between the productivity of forest
ecosystems and soil quality. Soil physical- chemical characteristics contribute to
determining the sensitivity of the soil of the urban forest Košutnjak to degradation processes
and the connection between the state of vegetation and soil quality. The study
is based on the detail analyses of the data of the current state of land and vegetation,
as well as expected deviations due to the impact of selected climate change scenarios.
Three potential climate scenarios were tested and contribute to understanding the
possibility of adapting the Košutnjak urban forest to degradation processes and soil
nutrient losses favored by climate change. This knowledge will aid in determining proposed
measures and strategies to mitigate the effects of land degradation processes
based on the principle of environmental engineering. The study introduces a new
framework for valorization of the current and future state of land and vegetation in
the urban forest Košutnjak. The results provide a basis for mitigating or restoring land
degradation, which inevitably arises from the management practices. With application
of anti-erosion, remediation and prevention measures and application of natureinspired
solutions and ecosystem services, the condition of the land will be improved.

abstract = "Urban forest includes individual trees, but also associated vegetation and the soil
beneath the trees. In many regions, urban forests are the most extensive, functional
and visible form of green infrastructure in cities and occupy an important place in
mitigating and adapting to climate change and preservation of forest ecosystems.
These forests are safe islands for biodiversity and play a key role in preserving human
health and raising the quality of life in the city. However, urban forests face many challenges
including difficult growing condition, insufficient resources for proper care and
problems for development, which are enhanced by incomplete public understanding of
benefits that urban forests provide. Urban soils are often subject to several degradation
processes, such as erosion, compaction and pollution.
The Košutnjak urban forest (Belgrade, Serbia), occupies a total area of 305.32 ha, of
which 83% is forested. In 2014, 93% of the area was declared a Monument of Nature
“Košutnjak Forest” while the remaining 7% of the forest is intended for recreation
and general cultural and educational functions. The stand is mostly natural deciduous
hardwood tree and covers almost 70% of the forest. Košutnjak is home to many plant
and animal species, some of which are under strict protection. There are 521 plant
species, including for example oak (Quercus sp.), chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum),
cedar (Cedrus sp.), pine (Pinus sp.), hazel (Corylus sp.). In 2015, the average age
of the trees has been estimated to be 60–70 years. During the same year, about
50 ha of Košutnjak has been re-forested with 4,400 seedlings of ash (Fraxinus sp.)
and sycamore (Platanus sp.). However, trees in Košutnjak present a poorly developed
canopy, often rotten. The forest was seriously affected by the snowfall in December
2021, when a large number of trees fell, broke and bent. The general condition of the
forest is unfavorable, the assembly is interrupted and damaged. Due to steep slopes
and generally poor condition of vegetation, erosion processes are observed in the form
of scouring, rills, gullies and local movements of soil masses. Other forms of physical
degradation include compaction namely in observed wheel tracks.
The aim of this study is to investigate the connection between the productivity of forest
ecosystems and soil quality. Soil physical- chemical characteristics contribute to
determining the sensitivity of the soil of the urban forest Košutnjak to degradation processes
and the connection between the state of vegetation and soil quality. The study
is based on the detail analyses of the data of the current state of land and vegetation,
as well as expected deviations due to the impact of selected climate change scenarios.
Three potential climate scenarios were tested and contribute to understanding the
possibility of adapting the Košutnjak urban forest to degradation processes and soil
nutrient losses favored by climate change. This knowledge will aid in determining proposed
measures and strategies to mitigate the effects of land degradation processes
based on the principle of environmental engineering. The study introduces a new
framework for valorization of the current and future state of land and vegetation in
the urban forest Košutnjak. The results provide a basis for mitigating or restoring land
degradation, which inevitably arises from the management practices. With application
of anti-erosion, remediation and prevention measures and application of natureinspired
solutions and ecosystem services, the condition of the land will be improved.",

AB  - Oak forests are widespread forest communities in the deciduous vegetation. From the
10 species of oaks in Serbia, next to pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), the most valuable
and common type of tree is sessile oak (Quercus petraea). Sessile oak is characterized
by a relatively wide ecological amplitude, so it is almost present in all forest
areas, as well as in low mountains. In addition to the economic importance of sessile
oak forests, their protective role against soil erosion is also important. However, degradation
and drying of sessile oak forests is very pronounced. Proper land management
not only increases its productivity, but also provides a valuable mechanism for
mitigating the effects of climate change and a way to preserve ecosystem services.
The aim of this study is to determine the dependence of soil properties on sessile oak
forest condition. For this purpose, properties of sites with endangered oak stands were
compared with a sites with stand in a good health condition. Results indicate significant
dependence of oak condition on soil properties. Sites with endangered oak have
higher silt component and bulk density, lower EC-electrical conductivity, pH, Corg,
porosity and Atterberg limits, while contents of micro and macroelements is similar
between sites. This study contributes to understanding of the impact of soil properties
on the natural regeneration of sessile oak forests, which is an important prerequisite
for improving forest cultivation, especially related to the climate change.

AB  - Biological markers (BMs) are organic compounds in oils in which a precursor is known, and during the transformation of organic matter these compounds undergo certain structural and stereochemical changes. Based on the established precursors of BMs, the origin of the examined oils can be estimated, and based on the intensity and the type of changes and also geological history. It includes defining the deposition medium, the degree of maturation, the length of the oil migration path, the degree of biodegradation. The most studied and applied BMs are normal alkanes, isoprenoid aliphatic alkanes pristane and phytane, and polycyclic alkanes of the sterane and terapane type. On the other hand, in the environmental chemistry, these compounds can significantly contribute to the identification of petroleum pollutants, as well as to the assessment of the migration mechanism and the intensity of biodegradation. This review paper first presents the results related to the application of BMs in the organic geochemical correlations of oil in the south-eastern part of the Pannonian Basin (I). The second part provides an overview of those researches in which the same BMs were used in the identification of oil pollutants and in monitoring their changes during the migration and the biodegradation in rivers and river sediments of Serbia (II).

AB  - PAHs are a group of ubiquitous persistent organic pollutants that cause sever global environmental 
concerns for ecosystems and human health due to their potential toxicity and carcinogenicity. PAHs are a group of organic pollutants strongly related to anthropogenic activities such as settlement, transport, and industrial development. Due to their lipophilicity and persistence, PAHs are readily adsorbed in the particulate matter once they enter the urban river system and are finally deposited in the sediment. [1] The aim of this work was to evaluate the distribution of PAHs in the sediments of Vrbas River, to assess their occurrence and to establish the origin 
 (pyrogenic/petrogenic) of pollution sources.This study focussed on investigation on the state of pollution and identification of potential sources of contamination of river sediments by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons along entire course of the Vrbas River (Bosnia and Herzegovina). 
Nineteen sampling points were selected covering the entire course of the Vrbas River (Bosnia and 
Herzegovina). The samples were extracted in a Soxhlet apparatus and fractionated using column 
chromatography. In the fraction of aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs were analysed by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in a selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The ions 
monitored were: m/z = 128 (naphthalene), m/z = 152 (acenaphthylene), m/z = 154 acenaphthene), 
m/z = 166 (fluorene), m/z = 178 (phenanthrene andanthracene), m/z = 202 (fluoranthene and

(indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene), and m/z = 278 (dibenzo[a,h]anthracene) [2]. Thereafter numerous PAH diagnostic ratios were calculated and analysed. High molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (4, 5 or 6 rings) are more prevalent in the observed samples. The analysis of different PAH diagnostic ratios indicate the pyrogenic PAHs origin. In most samples, according to calculated parameters, these are combustion products of coal, grass, and wood, while in some samples these parameters implicate the fuel combustion origin of PAHs. No regularity was observed in the distribution of PAHs in the samples, indicating the existence of multiple sources of these compounds in the investigated area. Thus, the conclusion is that 
this area was exposed to both point and diffuse sources of PAH contaminants.

abstract = "PAHs are a group of ubiquitous persistent organic pollutants that cause sever global environmental 
concerns for ecosystems and human health due to their potential toxicity and carcinogenicity. PAHs are a group of organic pollutants strongly related to anthropogenic activities such as settlement, transport, and industrial development. Due to their lipophilicity and persistence, PAHs are readily adsorbed in the particulate matter once they enter the urban river system and are finally deposited in the sediment. [1] The aim of this work was to evaluate the distribution of PAHs in the sediments of Vrbas River, to assess their occurrence and to establish the origin 
 (pyrogenic/petrogenic) of pollution sources.This study focussed on investigation on the state of pollution and identification of potential sources of contamination of river sediments by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons along entire course of the Vrbas River (Bosnia and Herzegovina). 
Nineteen sampling points were selected covering the entire course of the Vrbas River (Bosnia and 
Herzegovina). The samples were extracted in a Soxhlet apparatus and fractionated using column 
chromatography. In the fraction of aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs were analysed by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in a selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The ions 
monitored were: m/z = 128 (naphthalene), m/z = 152 (acenaphthylene), m/z = 154 acenaphthene), 
m/z = 166 (fluorene), m/z = 178 (phenanthrene andanthracene), m/z = 202 (fluoranthene and 
pyrene), m/z = 228 (benzo[a]anthracene and chrysene), m/z = 252 (benzo[b]fluoranthene, 
benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[j]fluoranthene, benzo[e]pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene), m/z = 276 
(indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene), and m/z = 278 (dibenzo[a,h]anthracene) [2]. Thereafter numerous PAH diagnostic ratios were calculated and analysed.

AB  - This study aims to determine the palaeoenvironmental characteristics and activity patterns of Obrovac-type archaeological sites in Western Serbia, dated to the Late Neolithic/Early Eneolithic period, ∼5th millennium BC. These mound-like sites, enclosed by a wide ditch, that are not known in other parts of the central Balkan area, have long intrigued archaeologists investigating their origin and function over the last few decades.

In this study, for the first time, organic-geochemical analysis of paleosol samples from the Obrovac-type sites was applied with the aim of palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Additionally, organic carbon content and anion analysis of 58 subsoil samples from these settlements were performed to determine the use of space and activity zones.

The analysis of biomarkers from selected sites suggests significant plant biodiversity in the Mačva region during the Late Neolithic/Early Eneolithic. Distribution of n-alkanes with the maximum at n-C25 and predominance of C30 hop-22(29)-ene among hopanoids in samples from Obrovac type-sites indisputably indicates that macrophytes are a dominant source of organic matter, implying a marshy and floodplain depositional environment. On the other side, a strong signal of long-chain n-alkanes indicates the input of terrestrial plants into the precursor biomass, confirming that this environment was habitable for the first settlers in this region. Anion-based analysis delineates certain activity zones, demonstrating that Obrovac type-sites manifest rather complex spatial behavior despite their relatively small size and available space.

AB  - The Vrbas River is an important river ecosystem in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a length of 250 km and catchment areas of 5900 km2 . Before reaching Banja Luka, the Vrbas River passes through a canyon and numerous gorges, which are from 1955 protected by the Law on the Protection of Natural Values. This river flows through many towns and villages along the entire course, but the main anthropogenic influence comes from Banja Luka, one of the largest cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.The aim of this research was to characterise extractable organic matter of sediments from the Vrbas River in the city area of Banja Luka. Six samples were collected at locations which were selected based on the vicinity of potential sources of anthropogenic pollution: 1 and 3 – sites near bridge and frequent traffic, 2 – city’s promenade, 6 – site in the vicinity of the thermal power plant, 7 – site close to Banja Luka Brewery and the bridge on frequent road, and 8 – site close to the food industry “Vitaminka”. Extractable organic matter was isolated with dichloromethane/ methanol mixture using a Soxhlet apparatus. Hydrocarbons were isolated from the extracts using a column chromatography and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Detailed analysis of n-alkanes (m/z 71), diterpanes (m/z 123), hopanes (m/z 191) and steranes (m/z 217) was done. The individual peaks were identified by comparison with literature data [1] and based on their mass spectra (library: NIST11). Among saturated hydrocarbons diterpane, 16α(H)phyllocladane is the most dominant component in almost all samples (Fig.1). The exception is a sample 7. This diterpane is followed by n-alkanes with a predominance of higher odd homologues.  It indicates predominately native organic matter of Vrbas river sediments, originated mostly from terrestrial plants. That was noticed the predominant presence of native organic material in noticed in samples 2, 3, 6, while the presence of oil type pollutants was confirmed in other samples (1, 7, 8), which are near the bridge and frequent traffic roads. Fig 1. Total ion current (TIC) of saturated fraction. The previous study regarding the contents distribution of heavy metals in these sediments showed that most contaminated samples are at sampling points 2 and 6 [2]. That is not the case with oil contamination pointing to probably different sources of anthropogenic pollution.

AB  - Forests in Europe are currently not endangered by soil erosion. However, this can change with climate change orwith intensified forest management practices. Using a newly established network of plots in beech forests across Europe,the aims of this study were to (i) distinguish soil properties and erodibility indices in relation to bedrock, (ii) determine geochemicalproperties and organic carbon (Corg) influencing erodibility, and (iii) assess the effect of soil depth on erodibilityindices. Seventy-six soil samples from 20 beech forests were collected in 11 countries to quantify soil properties influencingerodibility indices: clay ratio, modified clay ratio, sodium adsorption ratio, and oxides ratio. The results indicate that thedominant soil properties, determined by bedrock, that correlate with forest soil erodibility indices are Corg, pH, electricalconductivity, calcium and sodium ions concentrations, total water-soluble cations, and the percentage of sand. Accordingto the tested indices, soil susceptibility to erosion follows the order granite > andesite > sandstone > quartzite > limestone.Deeper soil horizons on granite are more susceptible to erosion than surface horizons are, but this is not the case forsoils on limestones. In conclusion, forest management should consider the predisposition of different soil types to erosion.

abstract = "Forests in Europe are currently not endangered by soil erosion. However, this can change with climate change orwith intensified forest management practices. Using a newly established network of plots in beech forests across Europe,the aims of this study were to (i) distinguish soil properties and erodibility indices in relation to bedrock, (ii) determine geochemicalproperties and organic carbon (Corg) influencing erodibility, and (iii) assess the effect of soil depth on erodibilityindices. Seventy-six soil samples from 20 beech forests were collected in 11 countries to quantify soil properties influencingerodibility indices: clay ratio, modified clay ratio, sodium adsorption ratio, and oxides ratio. The results indicate that thedominant soil properties, determined by bedrock, that correlate with forest soil erodibility indices are Corg, pH, electricalconductivity, calcium and sodium ions concentrations, total water-soluble cations, and the percentage of sand. Accordingto the tested indices, soil susceptibility to erosion follows the order granite > andesite > sandstone > quartzite > limestone.Deeper soil horizons on granite are more susceptible to erosion than surface horizons are, but this is not the case forsoils on limestones. In conclusion, forest management should consider the predisposition of different soil types to erosion.",

AB  - Badlands are areas with scarce or completely absent vegetation formed in a wide range of lithologies in different climate conditions and exposed to a wide range of geomorphological processes [1]. Generally, rapid evolution governed by erosion processes is a consequence of complex mineralogical and physico-chemical sediment composition and climate conditions. Because of that, badlands are often described as natural field laboratories and, furthermore, badland material is suitable for laboratory experiments that can, in controlled conditions, provide insight of changes that occur in the field.
As indicated above, beside lithology, climate is one of the most significant factors in badlands forming. Since human activities have great impact on the environment and since climate changes present one of the biggest environmental pollution problems nowadays, in this research badland material was exposed to different conditions with the aim of monitoring changes caused by extreme climate conditions and acid ice.
Three samples from badlands in China organized in six sets were treated with ice (representing snow) and acid ice (frozen acid rain) during fifteen cycles, dried in the oven for three cycles and afterwards again threated with ice and acid ice for additional five cycles. After each cycle samples were photographed, so that physical changes can be tracked, while leachate was collected and analyzed for monitoring changes in its volume, pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and cation concentration.
Beside slight oscillations in parameters through cycles of samples treated with acid ice, extreme changes in observed parameters were not noticed neither between samples, nor between treatments. Leachate EC were a bit higher in samples treated with ice, leachate volume was higher for samples treated with acid ice, while pH was similar in both cases. Cation concentrations are similar in the leachate of all tested samples. In most of cases, the highest concentrations were measured at the beginning of the experiment, during the first two cycles or during the first “ice” cycles after drying. This indicates the high cation concentrations originate from the sediment surface or washing along the crack that appeared after drying.   
Physical changes that occurred through cycles implied that heat/drought is more aggressive agent of sediment decay. Decay caused by ice is slower, not as aggressive as drought, but not negligible, causing noticeable and significant cracks and fissures of fragments.
 This experiment confirmed that drought has high impact on sediment weathering, but more importantly, pointed out the impact of ice and its thawing, opening new questions about climate impact on forming, erosion processes and evolution of badlands which need to be further examined.

AB  - The objective of this study was to determine the impact of geological substrate and and use on: physico-chemical properties of soil and size and stability of soil aggregates. Seventeen soil samples of forest soil and 30 samples of meadow soil developed on different bed-rock from Fruška Gora slopes were analyzed: forest soil on serpentinites, marls and trachytes, and meadow soil on serpentinites, marls, shale and loess. The Fruška Gora is located in the northern part of Serbia and stretches be-tween the Sava and the Danube rivers. The maximum length of this mountain is 75 km along the east-west direction, and along the north-south direction the maximum width is about 15 km, while the total area is 500 km2. After air drying following parameters were determined on all soil samples: grain size, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, available ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) [3], and organic carbon (Corg). Aggregate stability was determined using the aggregate size of 2-4 mm. Five grams of material was immersed in water and after 10min water was drained with a pipette and the soil was dried. Percentage of stable aggregates was determined from the weight difference. Analysis of variance was used to determine whether the relationship between tested parameters exists.

AB  - In this study, a multidisciplinary approach was used for a detailed characterization of sediments from the archaeological site Vinča – Belo Brdo, Serbia, one of the most important Neolithic settlements in Europe. This research aimed to determine the paleoenvironmental conditions during Pleistocene and Early Holocene sedimentation prior to Early Neolithic settlement (~5800 cal BC) and provide novel insight into the interaction between humans and the environment during the Middle and Late Neolithic (5300–4550 cal BC). For the first time, organic geochemical characterization, combined with organic petrography, grain size, mineralogy, and inorganic analysis were done on sediment samples from geological and archaeological sections of the Vinča – Belo Brdo site. In the archaeological section, the layer with remains of the burned house and the overlaying leveling layer were particularly interesting.  The samples from the oldest geological layers were characterized by the relatively high content of carbonates, the largest amount of soluble organic matter (OM), predominance of liptinite macerals, along with the prevalence of short and mid-chain n-alkanes indicating a marsh-lake depositional environment. The sedimentation of overlaying geological layers continued in an oxbow lake, followed by a shallow depositional environment with stronger input of vascular plants. This was indicated by an increase of the terrigenous component, a high amount of huminite maceral, especially textinite, the predominance of odd long-chain n-alkanes, as well as the presence of diterpanes, pimarane, and 16α(H)-phyllocladane.  Quartz was the most abundant mineral in paleosol, while the OM had a mixed origin with a major input of microorganism in the precursor biomass. Estimated average paleosol temperature around 12–16 °C and mean annual precipitation of 938 mm/yr were favorable for ancient civilization settlement.  In archaeological samples, the OM was predominantly formed by microorganisms, with a certain contribution of terrestrial plants. Their occurrence was substantiated by the presence of telohuminite, detrohuminite, resinite, and sporinite. The prevalence of n-alkane C18, along with the occurrence of inertinite macerals, semifusinite and fusinite, in the layer with the burned house remains confirmed the incomplete combustion of woody biomass at temperatures <500 °C. Organic and inorganic geochemical parameters for the leveling layer covering the destroyed buildings showed analogous composition as the lowest geological layers. This proved that Vinča inhabitants excavated material for leveling at a site in their vicinity, and used it for covering the burnt debris, clearing the areas for a new settlement. In this context, the decades long archaeological dilemma of the origin of the leveling material was resolved.
