AB  - The mobility (fractionation) of rare earth elements (REEs) and their possible impacts on ecosystems are still relatively unknown. Soil samples were collected from two sites in central Serbia, an unpolluted mountain region (site 1) and a forest near a city (site 2). In order to investigate REE fractions (acid-soluble/exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable, and residual) in soils, BCR sequential extraction was performed. Additionally, the content of REEs was also determined in stipes and caps of the mushroom Macrolepiota procera, growing in the observed sites. Sc, Y, and lanthanide contents were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and results were subjected to multivariate data analysis. Application of pattern recognition technique revealed the existence of two distinguished clusters belonging to different geographical sites and determined by greater levels of Sc, Y, and lanthanides in Goč soil compared to Trstenik soil. Additionally, PCA analysis showed that REEs in soil were concentrated in two groups: the first consisted of elements belonging to light REEs and the second contained heavy REEs. These results suggest that the distribution of REEs in soils could indicate the geographical origin and type of soil. The bioconcentration factors and translocation factors for each REE were also calculated. This study provides baseline data on the rare earth element levels in the wild edible mushroom M. procera, growing in Serbia. In terms of bioconcentration and bioexclusion concept, Sc, Y, and REEs were bioexcluded in M. procera for both studied sites.

AB  - The main soil properties, concentrations of selected elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn), and the chemical speciation of each element were determined in urban soil samples taken from urban parks in four Serbian cities (Belgrade, Panevo, Obrenovac, and Smederevo) exposed to different sources of pollution. Pollution indices (PI, PIN) and factors (MF, ICF, GCF) also were evaluated. The study revealed As and Cd concentrations below the detection limit, whereas the content of Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn at some sites exceeded the limits established by local regulations, as well as the background values, which may represent an environmental threat. Sequential extraction results show that Fe, Cr, Cu, and Ni were predominantly in the residual fraction at most sites; however, Ni from Panevo and Smederevo also was bound to the reducible fraction. The presence of Pb at all sites and Zn in Smederevo and Belgrade was mainly associated with the reducible and residual fractions. The highest Mn content was found in the reducible fraction, followed by the acid soluble/exchangeable and residual fractions. Based on the obtained indices and factors, the overall soil status at the selected sampling sites was found to range from the warning limit to slightly polluted, whereby Smederevo had the highest risk, and Panevo and the control site the lowest risk of contamination by toxic metals.

AB  - In this study, both seasonal and spatial variations in trace metal uptake, as well as concentration of photosynthetic pigments in Silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) trees in five urban parks in Pancevo, Smederevo, Obrenovac and Belgrade ( Serbia) affected by different anthropogenic activities were studied. The characteristics of soil were assessed in terms of texture, pH and trace element content. Concentrations of boron, strontium and zinc in both leaves and bark showed an increasing temporal trend, however, copper showed an opposite seasonal trend. A higher accumulation of trace elements was noticed in leaves compared to bark. The obtained results for photosynthetic pigments showed low sensitivity of birch to B, Cu, Sr and Zn contamination, indicating that birch tolerates pollution and climate stress by increasing the amount of pigments. Analysis of the effects on soil chemistry of trace element accumulation in plant tissues proved that soil chemistry poorly explains the variability of elements in bark (27.6 %) compared to leaves (82.99 %). Discriminant analysis showed that Belgrade and Smederevo are clearly separated from the other three sites.

AB  - Metalliferous mine wastes represent one of the major sources of environmental contamination from mining activities. Bor region (Serbia) is one of the largest copper mine basins in Europe where long-term mining caused severe environmental deterioration and created one of the most degraded locations in Serbia and Europe. At the spontaneously colonized metalliferous mine wastes in Bor, plant species Epilobium dodonaei dominates in the mine slopes and mine waste surfaces. Epilobium dodonaei has the status of endangered and protected species in parts of European range (i. e. plant is included in the Red lists of the countries in the Carpathian mountains region), primarily due to losses of natural gravel habitats. The main focus of this research was physico-chemical characterization of mine waste, assessment of phytoremediation potential and plant metabolic stress response of Epilobium dodonaei at the hot spot metalliferous mine site in order to evaluate the possibility for application of endangered species in ecological restoration. The Bor mine wastes are characterized by coarse soil texture, various pH (4.58-8.30), and elevated concentrations of arsenic (44.5-271 mg kg(-1)) and copper (311-2820 mg kg(-1)) that exceed the Serbian limiting threshold and remediation values. Oxidation of metal-sulfide minerals on waste surface leads to increased acidity, followed by elevated metal mobility of the mine spoil solution. Content of arsenic, copper, lead and zinc in roots of E. dodonaei was correlated with pseudo-total and EDTA-available concentrations in Bor mine spoils. Furthermore, the content of arsenic, copper, lead and zinc in roots (3.98 mg kg(-1), 140 mg kg(-1), 3.19 mg kg(-1), and 72.8 mg kg(-1), respectively) and shoots (4.69 mg kg(-1),57.7 mg kg(-1), 1.17 mg kg(-1), and 59.3 mg kg(-1), respectively) of E. dodonaei reflected the multi-metal pollution at the investigated site. Epilobium dodonaei largely retains copper, lead and zinc in roots than in shoots and has the potential for phytoremediation of mine wastes. Epilobium dodonaei at Bor mine spoil had a high content of malondialdehyde in roots and leaves as well as reduced chlorophylls and carotenoids content in leaves, indicating great oxidative stress. However, elevated arsenic and copper content could promote biosynthesis of antioxidants in roots and leaves of E. dodonaei at mine spoil. Creation of an endangered species habitat on mine waste rocks of the Bor mining area and similar sites of Carpatho-Balkan metallogenic province could successfully contribute to the preservation of E. dodonaei. Development of practical procedures for the selection and application of endangered plant species in reclamation should create stronger link between ecological restoration and conservation biology. Finally, the application of endangered plant species should take a more prominent role in the restoration process and ecosystem design. (C) 2016 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
