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  - A diversity of factors, led by lithology, weathering, and erosion processes, plays a significant role in the formation and future of badland terrains. Then on previous observations it can be concluded that surface flow processes are the first trigger of erosion and that intense soil erosion combined with rapid and deep weathering are tightly connected to high erosion rates.Since climate change presents a global issue that gains increasing attention and due to the complexity of the interactions and processes that are a part of general badlands origin and evolution, a weathering experiment on badland sediments from China was conducted. Explaining temporal changes, the impact of different precipitation types and its durations of exposure on sediments during weathering processes, as well as its impact on leachate ions behaviour are the aims behind this experiment.Red clayey siltstone and mudstone badland sediments selected for the laboratory experiment were organized in four sets that included three different samples, making a total of 12 treated samples. Based on field climate data, in laboratory conditions samples were exposed to rain, acid rain, snow, and acid snow through fifteen daily cycles. Leachate was collected after each cycle and its volume, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and ion concentrations were measured and analysed from the leachate. Changes occurring on the surface of the sample were observed through photographs taken at the end of each cycle.Based on obtained results it can be said that the main differences occur when comparing rain and snow treatments generally. Temporal, cyclic changes were, to a certain extent, noticed through sediment decay. More importantly, durations of sediment exposure to precipitation proved to be crucial for weathering processes of tested siltstones and mudstones, having exclusion and ionic forces - ion exchange chromatography as dominant chemical processes.

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.

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  - Climate variables including temperature, rainfall intensity, rainfall acidity, and lithological properties are among the most important factors affecting rock weathering. However, the relative contribution of these four factors on rock weathering, especially on chemical weathering, is still unclear. In this study, we carried out a series of weathering-leaching rainfall simulations on four types of badland sediments under controlled conditions of two levels of temperature, rainfall intensity, and rainfall acidity based on the real field data from representative weather scenarios. The main objectives are 1) to explore the progressive change of sample surface and leachate characteristics and 2) to reveal the independent effects of temperature, rainfall intensity, rainfall acidity, and lithology and their relative contribution as well, on both mechanical and chemical weathering. Qualitative analysis on crack development and fragmentation of sample surface and quantitative analysis on the leachate volume, pH, electrical conductivity, and total cation and anion releases of sample leachate together demonstrated that for the investigated sediments, under the conditions of temperature, intensity, and acidity of rain that can be achieved in nature, high drying temperature obviously increases mechanical disintegration by promoting the rate and magnitude of moisture variations (wetting–drying alterations), while high rainfall intensity and acid rain have no obvious effect. Impact and importance of the drying process caused by high temperature between wetting events need more attention, rather than high rainfall intensity. Low temperature, high rainfall intensity, and acid rain contributing more hydrogen ions required for cation exchanges, rock type with more soluble minerals, all promote chemical weathering, and the influence of climatic and lithological factors on chemical weathering decreases in the following order: mineral composition＞ rainfall intensity ＞ temperature ＞ rainfall acidity. Climatic variations on temperature can modify weathering processes and in that way conditioned hydro-geomorphological processes in badland areas. Such changes should be considered for direct and indirect implications on badland dynamics.

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 confuence. The position of GWI causes a large number of possible hydrocarbons inputs that infuence 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 fow 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 specifc wetland site). The grain size was determined using a standard wet sieving procedure. The
extractable organic matter (OM) was quantifed 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 chromatographymass 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 confrmed 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 runof.

abstract = "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 confuence. The position of GWI causes a large number of possible hydrocarbons inputs that infuence 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 fow 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 specifc wetland site). The grain size was determined using a standard wet sieving procedure. The
extractable organic matter (OM) was quantifed 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 chromatographymass 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 confrmed 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 runof.",

AB  - Abstract
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 hydrocar-
bons 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

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  - 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 environ-mental monitoring, with the aim to support an efficient strategy to reduce local pollution and contamination of the investigated system.

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 Her-
zegovina (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 fol-
lowed 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  - Forests in Europe are currently not endangered by soil erosion. However, this can change with climate change or
with 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 geochemical
properties and organic carbon (Corg) influencing erodibility, and (iii) assess the effect of soil depth on erodibility
indices. Seventy-six soil samples from 20 beech forests were collected in 11 countries to quantify soil properties influencing
erodibility indices: clay ratio, modified clay ratio, sodium adsorption ratio, and oxides ratio. The results indicate that the
dominant soil properties, determined by bedrock, that correlate with forest soil erodibility indices are Corg, pH, electrical
conductivity, calcium and sodium ions concentrations, total water-soluble cations, and the percentage of sand. According
to 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 for
soils on limestones. In conclusion, forest management should consider the predisposition of different soil types to erosion.

AB  - Research in forest ecosystems is focused on recent and past extreme events caused by drought, heat, storms and frost [1,2]. This research aims at exploring soil-specific processes of element leaching in relation to the impact of soil wetting cycles after freezing and heating. Loosely bound nutrients (ions/elements) react differently to thermodynamic conditions, which are interesting to analyze associated with climate change and soil water depletion. Soil drying is related to the increase in air temperature. Repeated drying and wetting increases mineralization of the organic matter, and thus increases the availability and losses of nutrients. The effect of freezing-wetting alters solution fluxes. Both processes are far from being predictable, and there is a lack of knowledge on this subject. The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of soil freezing-wetting and heating-wetting cycles on soil leaching processes. Our hypothesis is that freezing and heating of the soil, change the quality of the soil solute, i.e. mineral ions (Na+ , K+ , Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Fe3+, Mn2+, NO2 - , SO4 2-, NO3 - , PO4 3-) concentrations in leachate. Two forest soil profiles, in European beech dominated stand on Mt Bjelašnica in Bosnia and Herzegovina (18˘15’44”E, 43˘42’25”N) were sampled. Soil type corresponded to Calcaric Cambisol (CA) and Chromic Cambisol (CH) according to IUSS Working Group WRB (2015). Soil was sampled by horizons (O, Ah, A/Brz, Brz1, Brz2). Porous plastic glasses were filled with 120g of air-dried soil, two representing different treatments (rewetting-freezing vs. rewetting-heating) and one representing the control. Treatments involved: a) four cycles of wetting the soil (2% intensity, 30’, 120cm3 ) and freezing (-10˘C) vs b) four cycles of wetting the soil (2% intensity, 30’, 120cm3 ) and heating for 3 hours at 40˘C. Control state involved wetting and drying at room temperature. After each wetting cycle, leachate was captured and left in freezer until determining concentrations of cations using Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (Thermo scientific iCAP 6000 series) and anions using Dionex ICS 3000. We analyzed 16 samples per profile and per treatment, and 14 control samples, in total 78 samples. The results obtained through this study point that different thermodynamic conditions influence different leaching intensity of soil ions. On the one hand, higher intensity of leaching of Al, Fe and Mn in CH soil was linked with heating-wetting treatments. On the other hand, more intense leaching of Ca, Mg and Na in CC soil was observed after freezing-wetting treatment. The experiment also showed lower leaching intensity of anions after heating-rewetting compare to freezing-wetting. Freezing-wetting cycles, like in our experiment, seems to have higher effect on the ion losses from temperate forest soils.

AB  - As the forests decrease in their size and quality, the forest ecosystems, as well as the ecosystems services and climate also change. Hence many of the animals and plants are relocated or brought into jeopardy of distinguishing. Directly and indirectly climate changes affect the growth and productivity of forests through changes in soil properties, temperature, draught, atmospehric falls and other factors. The effects of climate change on soils are expected mainly through alteration in soil moisture conditions and increase in soil temperature and CO2 levels [1]. These changes influence complex forest ecosystems since concentration of soil organic carbon, nitrogen cycles, water and nutrient retention, filter functions and erosion control are also affected. The hustle enviroment lead to forest extiction due to changes in the formation and conservation of soil structure, available water-holding capacity, soil nutrient cycling, and soil biodiversity transport of nutrients. The forest trees slowly extinct, decompose and change nitrogen cycles, content of organic carbon and other factors that influence the rest of forests ecosystems. In this study, the most abundant anions of European beech forest soils were investigated due to their specific roles in forests ecosystems. The carbonate and sulfate play important role in soil structure, water holding capacity and soil density. On the other hand, phosphate and nitrate ions can be regarded as markers of undisturbed forest ecosystems. The chloride is relatively uninvolved in neither biological nor inorganic chemical reactions [2]. Leaching in forest soils is limited by physco chemical reactions and roots needs. The framework of this study is to develop adequate database of forest ecosystems, and their response to climate change. This will involve analysis of physicochemical properties, anion and elemental composition. For that purpose, 80 soil samples from 15 soil profiles (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-40 cm and 40-80 cm) were collected from beech forests of Spain, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia (Figure 1). Dionex ICS 3000 was used for anion analysis. The obtained results pointed out relatioship of sulfate and carbonate according to the soil type, while others anions did not exhibit such behavior. Climate change leads to leaching of basic cations which leaves the soils more acidified and this can be even more severe in soils containing high concentrations of sulfates [3]. The database of the major anion profile can be used for building apropriate model for assessing and predicting the effects of the climate changes on forest ecosystems The outcomes of this study will be compiled with the research conducted on pollution induced and climate change effects regarding aquatic, atmospheric and terrestrial systems, which will be operationalized in a geo-spatial and temporal forecasting model. The obtained models may be used as screening techniques for predicting the environmental stress caused by climate change in forest mountain regions.

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. © 2021 Sciendo.

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  - 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 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. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.

AB  - Forests cover about 40% of Earth’s surface, while is 42% of the European Unions’ total land area is covered by forests and wooded land [1]. Forest ecosystems are open and dynamic systems that exchange matter with other systems such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere [1]. Nowadays, in addition to the exchange of substances necessary for its functioning, there is also an exchange of polluting substances. Heavy metals in forest soil can originate from natural and anthropogenic processes and their high concentration can be toxic for ecosystems and humans [2]. The aim of this study is to determine: (i) heavy metal distribution in forest soil; (ii) environmental and health risk; (iii) the source of heavy metals; (iv) the origin of heavy metals; and (v) influence of the geological substrate on heavy metal contents. Soil samples were collected from European mountain beech forests in 11 countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. Since European beech forests grow on a wide range of geological settings, during this research terrestrial ecosystems that lie on five major bedrock groups (andesite, carbonate, conglomerate, granite, and sandstone) were investigated. The average abundance order of heavy metal contents in forest soil samples is Cr > Zn > Ni > Pb > Cu > Co > Cd. According to geo-statistical analysis soil samples with the lowest heavy metal contents belong to cambisol soil type, on sandstone, and granite substrate, and with the highest contents belong luvisols and rendzina soil types on limestone and dolomite substrate. The concentration of most heavy metals doesn’t show a systematic pattern with depth. Considering enrichment factor (EF) Pb, Sb, Cd and As, have moderate enrichment, or moderately severe enrichment in the surface soil layer. Mercury has severe enrichment. The highest values of hazard quotient pathways are noticed for ingestion in the children population, especially in the case of Pb. The Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a positive correlation among most of the elements indicating one or more common sources of heavy metals. Based on the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) V, Ni, Cu and Th were provided the highest percentage contribution for Factor 1, As, and Se for Factor 1 and Factor 3, Hg for Factor 4, and Cd for Factor 5. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that Principle Component 1 (PC1) was mainly loaded with V, Ni, Cu, As, Se, and Th with similar high values, and Cd and Hg were strongly correlated in the Principle Component 2 (PC2). Taking into account all results it can be concluded that heavy metal concentrations in European beech forests soil are mainly determined by the geological substrate.

AB  - Healthy natural ecosystems, such as protected areas (PA), support and sustain biodiversity and human well-being by providing essential ecosystem services and health benefits. However, maintaining such ecosystems to provide these environmental benefits becomes a more and more challenging issue with climate changes, biodiversity loss, land degradation and the continued erosion of the natural capital, particularly in the developing world. The main objective of this research is to establish a methodology for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15 “Life on Land”. The methodology will include the determination of heavy metals in soil and needle samples, and questioners for different stakeholders: local people, local businesses, government, civil society organizations (CSO), and the academic community. Soils are integral components of protected area ecosystems. Soil health has been defined as “the capacity of soil to function as a vital living system, within an ecosystem and land-use boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality, and promote plant and animal health” [1]. This definition speaks to the importance of managing soils, so they remain sustainable for future generations. On the other hand, the conifer needles are good bioindicators of ecosystem conditions. The questioner will allow obtaining data about the social and economic benefits of the PAs. The soil and needle samples from four protected areas in Serbia (Zlatibor, Golija, Tara, Đerdap) were analyzed using Inductively coupled plasma –optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Quantitative pollution indices were calculated (Enrichment factor (EF), Contamination factor (Cf), Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), Pollution load index (PLI), and Degree of contamination (Cd)), since they are effective tools for converting the raw environmental data into information relevant to support decision-making [2]. Results of this study provide a scientifically-based overview of the conditions of soil health and health of the forest ecosystem and help to propose nature-based solutions (NBS) for enhancing the sustainability of management, especially in the context of improving ecosystem services and climate change adaptation and mitigation. NBS provide affordable, sustainable, and feasible benefits that contribute to improving soil quality and support several ecosystem services relevant to support public health and social well-being [4]. Results of this study use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 15 “Life on Land” as a global framework for establishing the partnership between PA managers, conservationists and local authorities that would enhance health and increase environmental, social and economic benefits of the PAs.

Soil health has been defined as “the capacity of soil to function as a vital living system, within an ecosystem and land-use boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality, and promote plant and animal health” [1]. This definition speaks to the importance of managing soils, so they remain sustainable for future generations. On the other hand, the conifer needles are good bioindicators of ecosystem conditions. The questioner will allow obtaining data about the social and economic benefits of the PAs. The soil and needle samples from four protected areas in Serbia (Zlatibor, Golija, Tara, Đerdap) were analyzed using Inductively coupled plasma –optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Quantitative pollution indices were calculated (Enrichment factor (EF), Contamination factor (Cf), Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), Pollution load index (PLI), and Degree of contamination (Cd)), since they are effective tools for converting the raw environmental data into information relevant to support decision-making [2]. Results of this study provide a scientifically-based overview of the conditions of soil health and health of the forest ecosystem and help to propose nature-based solutions (NBS) for enhancing the sustainability of management, especially in the context of improving ecosystem services and climate change adaptation and mitigation. NBS provide affordable, sustainable, and feasible benefits that contribute to improving soil quality and support several ecosystem services relevant to support public health and social well-being [4]. Results of this study use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 15 “Life on Land” as a global framework for establishing the partnership between PA managers, conservationists and local authorities that would enhance health and increase environmental, social and economic benefits of the PAs.",

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.
