Land degradation and desertification (LDD) is one of the greatest ecological challenges today, with climate change resulting from anthropogenic factors a major cause it. Recent projections LDD in Mediterranean region indicate gradual widening arid areas due to increased aridity global warming by end 21st century. Therefore, this study used MEDALUS method identify sensitivity Western Serbia between 1986 2005 assess possible effects (RCP4.5 RCP8.5 scenarios) on land processes Likewise,...
Contaminated sediments transported onto the river terrace during high water events can contribute significant quantities of potentially toxic elements to riparian soils. Seven trace (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) were analysed in sediment soil River Sava their spatial distribution, potential toxicity ecological risk levels evaluated. The results showed that all metals enriched varying extents both Pb) (Ni) when compared reference for European Mean concentrations soil, apart from Pb,...
Crop production in plastic greenhouses is one of the major sources pollution worldwide. The main hypothesis this study that regular use mulch film leads to cumulative accumulation microplastic particles (MPs) soil, which ultimately changes soil properties. Therefore, objective was identify possible physical, chemical, and biological properties three regions Serbia. following chemical parameters were determined: electrical conductivity, acidity, cation exchange capacity (CEC), total carbon...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to determine the level and source pollution by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) due torrential floods in catchment area Drina River under complex geological conditions. degree soil sediment PTEs was estimated calculating Pollution Index (PI) Geo‐accumulation index (Igeo). Sources were determined using Principal component analysis (PCA) for Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF) model sediment. To fully include spatial when determining PTEs, Bivariate Local...
Background: Anthropogenic activities have clearly affected the environment, with irreversible and destructive consequences. Mining a significant negative impact, primarily on soil, then human health. The impact of first mining is represented even today in soils those localities. Research shows that, for different types mines, concentrations potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are high, especially antimony, multi-metal lead–zinc which adverse effects environment health economy. A large flood...
Long-term application of P fertilizers may eventually result in excess and/or toxic accumulations trace elements and microelements soil. The effect monoammonium-phosphate (MAP) on basic soil properties (pH, CEC, texture), the total content C, N, F, hot acid-extractable Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd, Co, As, Hg, extractable macro- (P, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, F) were studied a Stagnosol Phosphate fertilizer had been applied (26, 39, 52 kg ha(-1)) over 40-yr period. Phosphorus fertilization significantly...
The changes in inorganic and organic phosphorus (P) fractions of soil resulting from long-term fertilization (40 years) were investigated. In order to improve understanding the sink sources phosphorus, P-fractions extracted samples 0-30 30-60 cm depth with different amounts monoammonium-phosphate (MAP) then determined. Stagnosol was type studied soil. Phosphate fertilizer applied 26, 39 52 kgP/ha during period 40 years. Samples subjected sequential extraction according modified Chang Jackson...
Concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were measured in topsoil samples collected from parks the cities Salzburg (Austria), Thessaloniki (Greece), Belgrade (Serbia) order to assess distribution PTEs urban environment, discriminate natural (lithogenic) anthropogenic contributions, identify possible sources pollution, compare levels pollution between cities. An assessment health risks caused by exposure through different pathways was also...
Microbially mediated soil organic matter is an extremely sensitive pool that indicates subtle changes in the quality parameters responsible for soil’s ecological and productive functions. Fifty years of mineral fertilization a wheat-corn cropping system has strong impact on parameters. The goal research was to study dynamics biological affected by increasing amounts nitrogen. Soil respiration, potentially mineralizable C N, microbial biomass N light-fraction OM Cambisol were analyzed...
The primary focus of this research was the chemical fractionation potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and their presence in several industrialised cities Serbia. Furthermore, origin, contamination levels, environmental human health risks were assessed. results indicated that examined soils characterised by slightly higher Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn levels than those set European national regulations. These elevated concentrations caused intensive traffic proximity to industry, whereas Ni a result specific...
Abstract This study evaluated the source apportionment and level of contamination with potential toxic elements (PTEs)—As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb Zn—in a riparian zone Sava River by calculating Enrichment Factor (EF) Geo-Accumulation Index (Igeo). The analysed non-carcinogenic carcinogenic health risks to both adults children in local population. Soil sediment samples collected during high low water events from 12 sites along 945 km river were screened. Elevated soil contents As, Zn observed...
