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  - 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.

AB  - The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of weathering processes on the distribution of n-alkanes in unweathered and weathered samples of badland material. Organic matter (OM) of both the weathered and unweathered zones in badland environments is derived from the same sources such any differences between the n-alkane pattern of the two zones can be attributed to the impact of weathering processes under different climate conditions. Organic geochemical and mineralogical characterizations were employed to investigate twenty-one samples from weathered badland environments in Italy, Spain, and Canada that originally derive from marine, distal alluvial, and fluvial depositional settings, respectively. According to the distribution of n-alkanes and diterpanes, unweathered samples from Italy have an original mixed aquatic-terrestrial origin of OM, with a variable (low to moderate) contribution of terrestrial plants as precursors, while unweathered samples from Spain predominantly contain OM originating from submerged/floating macrophytes deposited under reducing conditions. Unweathered samples from Canada predominantly consist of terrigenous OM. Intensity of changes in n-alkanes distribution when subjected to weathering depends on the type of precursor biomass and quantity of smectite. Predominantly terrigenous OM under semi-arid conditions shows the highest affinity for adsorption is in contact with smectite surfaces. Mid- and long-chain odd n-alkanes have a tendency to build colloidal particles with polar organic compounds such as fatty acids by strong binding and thus their preservation from degradation is possible.

AB  - With the objective to quantify the Neogene extensional geodynamic drivers of the Peri Pannonian Realm s.l., a series of 1D basin models were carried out by integrating the available geological and geochemical data extracted from the landlocked Toplica Basin (central-southern Serbia; Serbo-Macedonian Unit). The modeling was conducted on four wells located immediately south of Jastrebac Mt., in the area of the Toplica Basin. The investigated southernmost point of the Peri Pannonian Ream s.l. (areas surrounding the basin, to the south of rivers Danube and Sava) underwent intense tectonically-driven subsidence episodes, which lasted from the Lower Miocene up to the Pliocene. The restored Neogene burial history (subsidence rates), paleotemperature, and calibrated paleo-heat fluxes (or changes in the ancient crustal or basal heat flow) indicated a two-staged crustal stretching of the wider Toplica area. The combined tectonic, i.e., thermal subsidence, resulted in a very high sedimentation rate, having an average ca. 300–400 m/Ma (Čučale unit). The intense tectonically-driven subsidence is consistent with the involvement of extensional processes, affecting the crustal and lithospheric layers of the retreating Adria/Dinarides, amplified by a distant Carpathian rollback stage. The regional extension led to the asymmetric opening and the formation of the Toplica Lower Miocene mesosaline to the freshwater lacustrine system. Higher participation of mixed microbiologically reworked/terrestrial organic matter incorporated in oil-prone Type II kerogen mainly characterized the investigated lacustrine sedimentary sequence. The latest Oligocene–earliest Neogene subsidence onset was characterized by elevated temperatures, affecting the early development of the oil window (ca. at 16 Ma). The 1D models also showed that the Lower Čučale unit achieved ca. 50% transformation ratio for the Type II organic matter. The two intra-Neogene extensional episodes suggested the existence of the Early Neogene “syn-rift” stage, followed by a thermal sagging. The Neogene continuous thinning of the overriding Serbo-Macedonian continental crust contributed to the “negative inversion” of the former pre-Neogene nappes. Therefore, Neogene tectonic reactivation induced contemporaneous subsidence, further allowing the extensional rise of the Jastrebac core complex.

abstract = "With the objective to quantify the Neogene extensional geodynamic drivers of the Peri Pannonian Realm s.l., a series of 1D basin models were carried out by integrating the available geological and geochemical data extracted from the landlocked Toplica Basin (central-southern Serbia; Serbo-Macedonian Unit). The modeling was conducted on four wells located immediately south of Jastrebac Mt., in the area of the Toplica Basin. The investigated southernmost point of the Peri Pannonian Ream s.l. (areas surrounding the basin, to the south of rivers Danube and Sava) underwent intense tectonically-driven subsidence episodes, which lasted from the Lower Miocene up to the Pliocene. The restored Neogene burial history (subsidence rates), paleotemperature, and calibrated paleo-heat fluxes (or changes in the ancient crustal or basal heat flow) indicated a two-staged crustal stretching of the wider Toplica area. The combined tectonic, i.e., thermal subsidence, resulted in a very high sedimentation rate, having an average ca. 300–400 m/Ma (Čučale unit). The intense tectonically-driven subsidence is consistent with the involvement of extensional processes, affecting the crustal and lithospheric layers of the retreating Adria/Dinarides, amplified by a distant Carpathian rollback stage. The regional extension led to the asymmetric opening and the formation of the Toplica Lower Miocene mesosaline to the freshwater lacustrine system. Higher participation of mixed microbiologically reworked/terrestrial organic matter incorporated in oil-prone Type II kerogen mainly characterized the investigated lacustrine sedimentary sequence. The latest Oligocene–earliest Neogene subsidence onset was characterized by elevated temperatures, affecting the early development of the oil window (ca. at 16 Ma). The 1D models also showed that the Lower Čučale unit achieved ca. 50% transformation ratio for the Type II organic matter.

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  - The molecular and isotopic composition of biomarkers in initial bitumen isolated from immature (0.41% Rr) oil shale samples (Aleksinac deposit) and liquid products obtained by pyrolysis in open (OS) and closed (CS) systems are studied. The influence of pyrolysis type and variations of kerogen type on biomarkers composition and their isotopic signatures in liquid products is determined. The applicability of pyrolysis type, numerous biomarkers and carbon isotopic compositions (δ13C) of n-alkanes in liquid pyrolysates is established. Pyrolysis experiments were performed on two selected samples that showed high content of total organic carbon and hydrocarbon generation potential, but also certain variations in sources/depositional environment of organic matter (type I and mixed type I/II kerogen) within previous research of the oil shales sample set. The biomarker signatures were evaluated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and δ13C of individual n-alkanes in bitumen and liquid pyrolysates. The molecular composition of liquid pyrolysates from the OS is very similar to those in initial bitumen, independently on kerogen type, confirming algal origin of organic matter (OM) deposited in lacustrine environment, even more apparently than results of initial bitumen. Therefore, OS can be useful for assessment of source and depositional environment of OM. Pyrolysis in the CS caused more intense thermal alterations, therefore the source fingerprints sometimes notably disappear. The liquid pyrolysates from the CS have the distributions of biomarkers similar to those in crude oils. The biomarker maturity parameters showed slightly higher values in the CS pyrolysate of mixed type I/II kerogen in relation to type I kerogen. δ13C of n-alkanes in liquid pyrolysates from the OS are isotopically lighter in comparison to bitumen, independently on kerogen type. Oppositely, in liquid pyrolysates from the CS, they become heavier than in bitumen, indicating the thermal influence on δ13C signatures, with more pronounced difference for type I kerogen.

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  - 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  - The Techirghiol Lake, located on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, is a hypersaline lake. In this environment, a unique ecosystem in Europe has developed with the specific capacity of producing mud by the decomposition of flora and fauna under the microbial activity (saprogenic sludge), which is used for therapeutic purposes.
In this study, hydrocarbon compositions of the Techirghiol Lake mud are investigated in order to determine the origin and type of organic matter (OM). All samples are characterized by a high abundance of n-alkanes, short and high chain alkenes, pimarane, phyllocladane, indicating that OM was mainly derived from phytoplankton, filamentous green alga Cladophora vagabunda, Cyanobacteria, submerged/floating macrophytes, terrestrial and emergent plants. The terrestrial origin of organic matter is probably related to a significant input by wind or rivers. Typical oil distributions of terpanes and steranes biomarkers clearly indicate that the muds of Techirghiol Lake, in addition to native organic matter, contain a relatively low contribution of petroleum type pollutants, as well as PAH compounds of pyrogenic origin. 
The relatively high abundance of 1-chloroalkenes, which in some samples represent the most abundant compounds in the total distribution of hydrocarbons, together with isoprenoid thiophenes indicate the local presence of significant amounts of chloride and sulphur species in the water column or surface sediment.

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  - The molecular and isotopic composition of biomarkers in initial bitumen isolated from raw immature oil shale samples from the Lower Miocene Aleksinac Basin (Serbia) and liquid products (LPs) obtained by pyrolysis in open (OS) and closed systems (CS) are studied. The influence of pyrolysis type and variations of kerogen type on biomarkers composition and their isotopic signatures in LPs is determined.The molecular composition of the LPs from the OS pyrolysis is very similar to those in initial bitumen, independently on kerogen type. The LPs from the CS pyrolysis have the distributions of biomarkers similar to those in crude oils generated in an early to main stage of “oil window“. The biomarker data suggests that mixed type I/II kerogen attained slightly higher maturity level by the CS pyrolysis than type I kerogen. The isotopic signatures of n-alkanes in LPs obtained by the OS pyrolysis are isotopically lighter than in initial bitumen, independently on kerogen type, whereas in liquid products from the CS they become heavier; showing more pronounced difference for type I kerogen. The results indicate that δ13C data should be used with caution in interpretation of samples having different maturity and particularly of LPs obtained by different system pyrolysis.

AB  - The study investigates the influence of alluvial-lacustrine processes and paleoclimate variations on the distribution of terpenoids and unsubstituted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The XRF, ICP-MS, Rock-Eval, and organic geochemical analyses were employed to investigate thirty Lower and Middle Miocene sedimentary samples from the Prebreza and Čučale formations, collected from boreholes BL3 and BL5, situated in the central part of the Toplica Basin (Serbia). The development of the studied basin part was influenced by alluvial-lacustrine processes, which affected the type of organic matter (OM) and the paleoenvironment. Sandy silt and gravel layers in the profile of the BL3 borehole indicate the contribution of thicker clasts brought by rivers. In the BL5 borehole, there are fine-grained intrabasinal lacustrine sediments in the lower part, and swamp sediments in the upper part. The lowest total organic carbon (TOC) content is in alluvial sediments of BL3 and some lacustrine sediments of BL5. Based on Hydrogen Index (HI) and C/N ratio, various mixtures of terrigenous and algal organic matter are present in the sediments, while an increase in the proportion of terrestrial organic matter with higher HI (Type II kerogen) is recorded in upper parts of both boreholes, which may be related to paleoclimatic changes. Based on Tmax, the OM is immature and/or in the initial stage of maturity. The presence of plant terpenoids and unsubstituted PAHs, which reflected paleoflora and paleoclimate changes, was associated with the suggestion of predominating Type III kerogen in the studied sediments. Various factors influenced the application of gymnosperms/angiosperms parameters. For instance, the progressive aromatization of triterpenoids occurred in the BL5, whereas the process was hindered in the upper part of the BL3, probably as a result of high sedimentation rates. Based on C-value, Sr/Cu, and Rb/Sr ratios, during the deposition of the Lower and Middle Miocene formations of Čučale and Prebreza, a warm and humid climate prevailed, reflecting the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO). The production of unsubstituted PAHs in the studied samples probably relates to paleo-wildfires, anoxic conditions, or the presence of specific biomass precursors.

AB  - Badlands are areas with limited vegetation, reduced or no human activity, and a great variety of geomorphic processes [1]. Badland materials have a different responsetothe same environmental conditions, because of differences in their mineralogical and physico-chemical characteristics. Many studies show that smectite-poorsediments are more resistant to different weathering treatments of freezing, thawing, wetting, and drying,than smectite-rich materials [2,3].In this paper, three unweathered samples of badlands from Spain were analyzed with the aim of monitoring, but also comparing physico-chemical changes caused by simulations of changes in climatic conditions. Selectedsediment samples havedifferent compositions. Besides quartz and calcite, the first sampleis composed of smectite and gypsum (3 UW), the second of smectite (4 UW), while the third sample is composed of neither smectite nor gypsum (5 UW). The experiment setup was designed in the way that each sample had three sub-samples, a sample for simulation of rain, snow, and a control sample (Figure 1). Sample_rain was treated with a rain intensity of ~850 ml/h for 10 minutes (~140 ml), while sample_snow was treated with crushed ice (~150 g). After precipitation simulations snow were put samples were placed in a climate chamber at - 3 °C together with a control sample. This was repeated for 15 cycles. Every cycle was documented with photographs. The leached solution was collected and its volume, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and ion concentrations were measured. The second part of the experiment was based on exposing the samples after wetting to higher temperatures, 50 ° C. It was done in 8 cycles. FESEM and BET analyzes were performed for each sample before and after the experiments.The 3 UW samples had significantly different leachate pH and EC, while the leachate volume was similar for all samples during the experiment. Sulphate ions were leached in the highest concentrations during the whole experiment from the sample with both smectite and gypsum present. The sample with smectite has shown the highest disintegration of the structure, especially after the simulation of snow. The sample with smectite and gypsum has shown a lower degree of degradation than sample 3 UW due to the content of gypsum which increases the weathering resistance of the material. Sample 5 UW has shown the lowest degradation of the structure along with the weathering cycles. This study has proven that both mineralogical and physico-chemical properties of sediments are important for predicting their response to variable climate factors.

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.

AB  - The study investigated the influence of maturity, biomass type, and depositional settings on the distribution and relative abundance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for lacustrine sediments collected from depths up to 1000 m of Prebreza and Čučale stratigraphic units (the northwest part of the Toplica Basin). A recently proposed benzo[ghi]perylene/(perylene + benzo[ghi]perylene) parameter, along with commonly used Phenanthrene Alkylation Index and benzo[e]pyrene/(perylene + benzo[e]pyrene) indices, pointed out differences in maturity levels between stratigraphic units by displaying a positive linear relationship with vitrinite reflectance. However, in several immature Prebreza sediments, a substantial presence of algae and/or anoxic, mesosaline/hypersaline conditions were suitable for forming β-substituted methylphenanthrenes and 6-ring benzo[ghi]perylene. Generally, high molecular weight unsubstituted PAHs (HMWPAHs), particularly perylene, predominated Prebreza sediments. Anoxic conditions appeared to be decisive for accumulating and preserving the perylene carbon skeleton in studied stratigraphic units. Besides, more intense volcanism in the Čučale unit favored combustion processes, which prompted the accumulation of low molecular weight unsubstituted PAHs (LMWPAHs), especially phenanthrene. A general prevalence of retene over cadalene in Prebreza sediments, in which alginite and liptodetrinite predominated, implied algae as retene precursor. Selective degradation of retene or hindered demethylation of 9-methylphenanthrene under anoxic and more saline environmental settings had occurred notably in the Prebreza unit, which led to the formation of 1-methylphenanthrene and/or pimanthrene (1,7-dimethylphenanthrene). Čučale sediments with substantial amounts of vitrinite macerals or saturated diterpenoids had a predominant simonellite derived from conifers. Non-degraded and well-preserved Pinaceae conifers predominated in Prebreza sediments deposited under semi-arid climatic conditions, whereas mixed degraded/non-degraded conifers characterized Čučale sediments deposited in a wide range of climatic conditions, from semi-arid to semi-humid.

AB  - The objective of this study is geochronological investigation of sedimentological and inorganic composition, in the Danube Djerdap Lake sediments in order to obtain reliable information about former pollution. Eleven samples were taken from the 135-cm-deep sediment core drilled at the Orlova location. Since the core represents sediments deposited during 1972–2016, the sedimentation rate of ~ 3 cm year−1 was estimated. Grain size, mineralogical and geochemical composition was determined. Sediments are sandy silts and clayey silts, and only the deepest and shallowest layers contain > 30% of sand-size fraction. The highest concentrations of minor elements are found in the oldest sediment (1972–1977) as a consequence of the high flux of the material from variable sources. During the sedimentation period (1975–1990), the concentrations of analyzed elements are generally decreasing until the beginning of 1990s. After this period, there are two distinct decreases and two distinct increases in concentrations of elements. The fluctuations in minor element concentrations are a consequence of both natural and anthropogenic sources. Granitic rocks situated south are source of minerals that carry minor elements. Enrichment Factor, Geoaccumulation Index, Contamination Factor and Pollution Load Index indicate that concentrations of certain minor elements at specific depositional periods have anthropogenic source.

abstract = "The objective of this study is geochronological investigation of sedimentological and inorganic composition, in the Danube Djerdap Lake sediments in order to obtain reliable information about former pollution. Eleven samples were taken from the 135-cm-deep sediment core drilled at the Orlova location. Since the core represents sediments deposited during 1972–2016, the sedimentation rate of ~ 3 cm year−1 was estimated. Grain size, mineralogical and geochemical composition was determined. Sediments are sandy silts and clayey silts, and only the deepest and shallowest layers contain > 30% of sand-size fraction. The highest concentrations of minor elements are found in the oldest sediment (1972–1977) as a consequence of the high flux of the material from variable sources. During the sedimentation period (1975–1990), the concentrations of analyzed elements are generally decreasing until the beginning of 1990s. After this period, there are two distinct decreases and two distinct increases in concentrations of elements. The fluctuations in minor element concentrations are a consequence of both natural and anthropogenic sources. Granitic rocks situated south are source of minerals that carry minor elements.

AB  - The investigation of the relationship between paleoenvironmental conditions and distribution and relative abundance of specific saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons was the main objective of this study, thus marking the parameters, which were most sensitive to environmental changes. Insights on the type, generative potential, and maturity of organic matter (OM), as well as paleoclimate conditions, along with the reconstruction of depositional settings of the northwest part of the Toplica basin (Serbia), were provided. Organic petrographic, palynofacies, organic geochemical, mineralogical, and XRF analyses were carried out to investigate 40 sediment samples of the Prebreza and Čučale sedimentary units. Investigated samples were deposited in the saline and anoxic environment, under semi-arid to semi-humid/humid climate conditions, along with the constant inflow of volcanoclastic material. The predominance of δ-methyltrimethyltridecil chroman (δ-MTTC) within euxinic portions of the stratified water column was associated with an increase in salinity, which was noticed for sediments of the Prebreza unit. Sediments from this stratigraphic unit showed a higher contribution of algae precursor, whereas sediments of the Čučale unit suggested higher participation of microbiologically reworked OM. Most of the samples contained oil-prone kerogen type II. Maturity of the OM for sediments of the Prebreza unit ranged from immature to early-mature, while for samples of the Čučale unit varied from early-mature to mature stages. Distribution of hopane biomarkers typical for crude oil indicated that depth of 1 km was a boundary for the genesis of thermodynamic, more stable compounds. A significant portion of semifusinite was correlated with the paleofire event, which affected the distribution of n-alkanes. The high production of hydrocarbons was related to volcanic activity. Parameters, which proved to be highly susceptible at the stratigraphic boundary between the Prebreza and Čučale units, were C-value, S/H, α-MTTC, δ-MTTC, β-/γ-MTTC, and (1,3- + 1,6-)/(1,4 + 1,5-DMC), respectively.

AB  - A combined inorganic and organic geochemical study was carried out on marls and mudstones collected from the Lower Miocene Lopare Basin, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A total of 46 samples collected from two boreholes, Pot 1 (depth of 193 m) and Pot 3 (depth of 344 m), showed that element abundances like boron (B), lithium (Li), strontium (Sr), uranium (U), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) are much higher than average than in the upper continental crust (UCC). Chemical composition indicates at least two sources: (i) Mesozoic ophiolites occurring in the north of the investigated area, and (ii) dacito-andesitic pyroclastics (Mesozoic to Cenozoic). Lopare Basin sedimentation was influenced by strong evaporation resulting in a partly hypersaline lake, which formed during a warm climatic period, probably during the Miocene Climatic Optimum. A brief episode of humid climate conditions resulted in the basin filling-up and deposition of felsic sediments enriched in thorium (Th). Organic geochemistry shows that the majority of studied sediments contains predominantly immature to marginally mature algal organic matter (OM). The biomarker patterns are generally in agreement with the geological history of the Lopare Basin and inorganic and mineralogical data. Conversely, the molecular distribution of n-alkanes as reliable climatic and δ-MTTC as paleosalinity indicators do not support this conclusion.

AB  - Analysis of limnic sediments can serve as a tool to assess sedimentary pollution for both the status quo as well as changes over time. However, in environmental studies, often only a small number of established well-studied contaminants are considered. This study focused on a more comprehensive investigation of sedimentary pollution of Djerdap Reservoir. Therefore, complementary analytical approaches were applied covering lipophilic organic contaminants and heavy metals. Investigations were performed on limnic sediment layers representing a period of 43 years of reservoir functioning. The core was sectioned on 11 samples and analyzed for, loss on ignition (LOI), and organic compounds (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). Here, we report the quantitative data of 43 lipophilic organic compounds indicating both domestic and industrial emissions. Measured concentrations are generally low. Surprisingly, no polychlorinated biphenyls have been detected. Data concerning grain size, sedimentological, and inorganic composition were measured and published by in Kasanin-Grubin et al.

AB  - The Great War Island (GWI) is an area of importance for the protection of the environment, cultural and historical heritage of Belgrade, Serbia. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) this area belongs to the IV category - Habitats and Other Regulated Areas. The main objectives of this paper are to evaluate the potential impacts of pollution on ecosystem services of the Great War Island and to explore different scenarios for future urban development of the Great War Island that will have implication for human well-being. The aims of this paper are set up based on the evaluation of ecosystem services of the Great War Island and assessment of the pollution status of the Great War Island. In order to evaluate pollution status of the GWI inorganic and organic composition of sediments were examined. Additionally, the content of microelements was determined in the leaves of the Salix alba L. Pollution indices indicate that all investigated sampling sites are polluted and correspond to high and very high degree of contamination. Cd and Cu show high to extremely high degree of contamination while Sb has extremely high degree of contamination. Content of As, Co, Cu, Ni and Zn in leaves of Salix alba L. is in sufficient to normal range, while content of Cd is between the sufficient and excessive values generalized for various species. Typical oil distributions of terpanes and steranes and values of the corresponding maturity parameters clearly indicated that the sediments of the GWI, in addition to native organic matter, contained oil pollutants of anthropogenic origin. GWI provides provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural ecosystem services. In relation to ecosystem services two possible scenarios can be predicted: first - losing the status of a protected area due to urbanization; and the second - increasing the degree of protection by admission into international protection lists

AB  - U okviru ovog istraživanja analizirano je deset uzoraka sedimenata iz arheološkog nalazišta Belo brdo iz Vinče, sa ciljem da se na osnovu rezultata organsko-geohemijskih ispitivanja dođe do novih saznanja o interakciji čovek/životna sredina tokom srednjeg i mlađeg neolita, kao i da se pouzdanije rekonstruišu uslovi u životnoj sredini i klimatske fluktuacije. Arheološko nalazište Belo brdo u Vinči je eponimni lokalitet vinčanske kulture koja je dominirala prostorom centralnog Balkana u periodu srednjeg i ranog neolita (ca. 5300-4400 pre n.e.). Značaj lokaliteta se ogleda u bogatstvu pronađenog materijala koje je iskorišćeno kao osnova za izradu hronološkog sekvencioniranja ovog perioda praistorije. Lokalitet se nalazi na nеpunih 15 km jugoistоčnо оd Bеоgrаdа, nа dеsnој оbаli Dunаvа. Uzorci V1-V4 su uzeti iz geološkog dela, dok su uzorci označeni sa V6-V10 uzeti iz arheoloških (kulturnih) slojeva. Uzorak V5 je na granici između arheološkog i geološkog dela i on potiče iz takozvanog “humusnog sloja” (paleozemljište). Iz arheoloških podataka je poznato da sloj iz kojeg je uzet uzorak V7 predstavlja ostatke kuće koja je gorela i koja je urušena. Tokom neolitakuće su pravljeneod blata, pleve, delom i balege. Uzorak V8 potiče iz sloja za nivelaciju, tipičnom za lokalitet Belo brdo, kojim je prekrivan ruševinski sloj gorelih objekata, radi dobijanja nove hodne površine. Za sloj nivelacijeje tipično korišćena vrsta glinovitog/praškastog materijala (sedimenata). Iako se pretpostavljaju lokacije sa kojih je ovaj materijal donošen, još uvek nije potpuno poznato odakle tačno potičematerijal za nivelaciju. Rastvorna organska supstanca je izolovana pomoću ekstrakcije po Soxhlet-u, a potom je razdvojena hromatografijom na koloni na četiri frakcije različite polarnosti (zasićene i aromatične ugljovodonike, polarnu frakciju i frakciju masnih kiselina). Zasićeni i aromatični ugljovodonici analizirani su gasnohromatografsko-masenospektrometrijskom tehnikom. Pored navedenog, određen je i granulometrijski sastav ispitivanih sedimenata. Svi ispitivani sedimenti su veoma sličnog granulometrijskog sastava i mogu se okarakterisati kao slabo vezani peskoviti alevriti. Sadržaj organske supstance u ispitivanim sedimentima varira u relativno širokom opsegu od 136 do 12030 ppm.Uzorke V1 i V2 karakteriše najveći sadržaj bitumena (>10000 pmm), što se može objasniti velikom bioprodukcijom organske supstance za vreme taloženja ovih uzoraka[1]. Raspodela i relativna obilnost n-alkana i diterpana ukazuju da je organska supstanca uzoraka formirana od viših i nižih biljnih organizama, uz učešće mikroorganizama (uzorci V1, V5, V7), akvatičnih makrofita i mahovina (uzorci V2 i V8), ili pretežno od viših kopnenih biljaka (uzorci V9 i V10). U geološkom sloju, a posebno u uzorcima V1-V3 pretežno su bile zastupljene drvenaste biljke, da bi se vremenom njihova obilnost smanjivala, na račun sve veće obilnosti trava, koje su bile dominantno zastupljene u humusnom sloju i sloju ispod njega. Od diterpana u većini ispitivanih uzoraka identifikovani su samo pimaran i 16α(H)-filokladan. U uzorku V3 pomenuta jedinjenja su najzastupljenija u ukupnoj raspodeli zasićenih ugljovodonika, dok u uzorcima V1 i V2 nisu identifikovana. Pimaran i 16α(H)-filokladan su indikatori za plitke šumske močvare (baruštine). Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata može se pretpostaviti da su uzorci V1 i V2 taloženi u dubljoj barsko-jezerskoj sredini sedimentacije sa velikom bioprodukcijom organske supstance, nakon čega je došlo do oplićavanja i stvaranja plitke baruštine (dubine ~ 1m) u kojoj je preovladavala šumska vegetacija (četinarsko drveće), a klima je bila pretežno vlažna i topla. Vremenom je došlo do promene ka suvoj i toploj klimi, što je uslovilo zasušivanje i zatrpavanje močvare i formiranje humusnoj sloja (paleozemljišta), na kojem su se nastanili ljudi tokom neolita. Tokom trajanja neolitskog naselja u Vinči može se pretpostaviti da je pretežno preovladavala suva i/ili toplija klima sa manjim oscilacijama. Uzorak V8, koji potiče iz sloja za nivelaciju, po raspodeli n-alkana se značajno razlikuje od ostalih uzoraka iz arheoloških slojeva, što je u saglasnosti sa činjenicom da je materijal za nivelaciju donošen sa strane. Ovaj uzorak karakteriše izrazita dominacija srednjelančanih i viših neparnih n-alkana, sa maksimumom na n-C25, što ukazuje na značajan doprinos akvatičnih makrofita i mahovina [2], odnosno da je formiran u plitkoj sredini sedimentacije.
