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  - Process-based models and empirical modelling techniques are frequently used to (i) explore the sensitivity of tree growth to environmental variables, and (ii) predict the future growth of trees and forest stands under climate change scenarios. However, modelling approaches substantially influence predictions of the sensitivity of trees to environmental factors. Here, we used tree-ring width (TRW) data from 1630 beech trees from a network of 70 plots established across European mountains to build empirical predictive growth models using various modelling approaches. In addition, we used 3-PG and Biome-BGCMuSo process-based models to compare growth predictions with derived empirical models. Results revealed similar prediction errors (RMSE) across models ranging between 3.71 and 7.54 cm2 of basal area increment (BAI). The models explained most of the variability in BAI ranging from 54 % to 87 %. Selected explanatory variables (despite being statistically highly significant) and the pattern of the growth sensitivity differed between models substantially. We identified only five factors with the same effect and the same sensitivity pattern in all empirical models: tree DBH, competition index, elevation, Gini index of DBH, and soil silt content. However, the sensitivity to most of the climate variables was low and inconsistent among the empirical models. Both empirical and process based models suggest that beech in European mountains will, on average, likely experience better growth conditions
under both 4.5 and 8.5 RCP scenarios. The process-based models indicated that beech may grow better across European mountains by 1.05 to 1.4 times in warmer conditions. The empirical models identified several drivers of tree growth that are not included in the current process-based models (e.g., different nutrients) but may have a substantial effect on final results, particularly if they are limiting factors. Hence, future development of process-based models may build upon our findings to increase their ability to correctly capture ecosystem dynamics.

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.

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.

AB  - Soils are a natural capital which support life on Earth and are responsible for many ecosystem services that are the foundation for human wellbeing. However, soils have been intensively used and subject to degradation, particularly in urban areas. The main objective of this study is: i) to give an overview of soil conditions in urban protected areas (UPAs), and ii) to provide suggestions how the nature-based solution (NBS) can enhance the soil health in three UPAs located near or in the city of Belgrade, Serbia (Byford’s and Zvezdara forests, and Avala mountain). In this study pH values and soil organic matter content were analyzed as main parameters for the soil characterization. The Byford’s and Zvezdara forests have similar slightly alkaline soil pH, while the Mt. Avala soils are slightly acidic as a consequence of geological settings. The lower content of soil organic matter (1.26%–5.73%) in the Byford’s and Zvezdara forests might be improved with appropriate management practices. Introducing the principles of the NBS (e.g., incorporation of compost and biochar) in soil management practices in the protected areas, combined with conservation and restoration of forests, can provide enhanced soil health and supporting new green infrastructure (GI). The citizens and the society would highly benefit from a network of small green areas connected with UPAs in a number of ways, such as cleaner air, mitigation of noise stress, maintaining everyday wellbeing, recreation opportunities, contribution to employment and supporting social cohesion.
