The drought sensitivity of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) poses a threat to its survival in light climate change. Mycorrhizal fungi, which orchestrate biogeochemical cycles and particularly have an impact on plant’s defense mechanisms metabolism carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, are among microbes that play significant role mitigation effects change trees. study’s main objectives were determine whether ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi alleviate stress investigate their priming properties. two...
In this study, five poplar clones (Populus deltoides cl. PE19/66, S1-8, 135/81, and Populus × euramericana I-214, Pannonia) two white willow (Salix alba 380, 107/65-9) were tested in pot trials. The aim was to evaluate their potential for phytoextraction of nine heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) three substrates, based on soil from landfills near Belgrade Novi Sad, one control treatment nursery soil. shoot content all analyzed the highest BG substrate with lowest substrate. White...
Understanding intraspecific genetic variation is one of the principal requirements for evaluation tree species capacity to cope with intensive climatic changes, as well designing long-term conservation programs. Herein, we evaluated diversity and structure seven pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) populations, located at southern margin its distribution range on Balkan Peninsula (Serbia). The objective study was propose future in situ measures aimed protection adaptive neutral rear-edge....
Quercus robur L. is one of the most valued tree species deciduous temperate forests. However, in last decade, serious oak declines and loss adaptation plasticity have been reported throughout Europe as a consequence drought. Therefore, aim present study was to define potential five Q. half-sib lines from UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Mura-Drava-Danube drought, using physiological, anatomical biometrical traits. Half-sib that exhibited drought tolerance had particular suites trait expression...
Drought tolerance is becoming an increasingly important criterion for the selection of tree species, especially in urban areas characterized by low water availability. Apart from drought tolerance, introduction non-native species should be considered new planting programs under such conditions to enhance resilience forests. The present study aimed at evaluating situ physiological responses Magnolia grandiflora and × soulangeana severe that frequently occurs environments Southeastern Europe....
In light of upcoming climate change, there is an urgent requirement for tree improvement regarding adaptability to drought-caused stress and the development quick reliable screening methodologies genotypes' drought tolerance. White poplar is, despite its high adaptability, considered be endangered species in Serbia, which gives it special importance preservation biodiversity riparian ecosystems. The main goal this research was evaluate tolerance five white clones presence polyethylene glycol...
Shrubs are a significant component of urban vegetation found in parks, but they experience various influences from biotic and abiotic agents, among which aphids play an important role. In this work, the effects aphid colonisation on three shrub species environments were examined. Fourteen parameters analysed, describing photosynthetic pigment content gas exchange to carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen partitions. While no effect was parameters, parameters. The strongest achieved nitrogen partition...
This paper presents an analysis of the radial growth, tree dimensions, and allometry three phenological pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.; QURO) varieties (early (E-QURO), typical (T-QURO), late (L-QURO)), from a common garden experiment. We focused on resistance resilience each variety to drought events, which occurred in 2012 2017, as well their recovery potential during juvenile mature growth phases, with goal clarifying how QURO sensitivity is influenced by phenology stage. Our results...
Abstract Plant community biomass production is co‐dependent on climatic and edaphic factors that are often covarying non‐independent. Disentangling how these act in isolation challenging, especially along large gradients can mask soil effects. As anthropogenic pressure increasingly alters local climate resource supply unevenly across landscapes, our ability to predict concurrent changes plant processes requires clearer understandings of independent interactive effects soil. To address this,...
Extreme weather conditions, namely droughts, heat waves, heavy rains, floods, and landslides are becoming more frequent globally in Serbia as a result of climate change. Generally, various parts human society affected by changing conditions. Forest ecosystems one the most sensitive systems to climate. In that sense, small changes may lead large disturbances including forest decline, outbreaks insect pests diseases eventually mortality. Serbia, average temperature important abundant tree...
The effects of drought simulated via osmotic stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the growing medium were examined on two Wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) clones (6A and 8A) based thirteen morphometric, physiological, biochemical traits. shoot tips exposed to PEG concentrations (20 50 g L-1) designed for micropropagation with axillary buds. results showed that all morphological physiological traits significantly reduced, indicating a strong detrimental effect increased concentrations....
In the present study, variations of leaf stomatal traits for fourteen European beech provenances (Fagus sylvatica L.), originating from six countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Romania Serbia), were evaluated at inter- intra- levels. Ten (stomatal density (SD), guard cell length (LA) width (WB), aperture (La) (Wb ), pore surface (SPSLAWB), a widely opened (SPSLaWb), coefficient (SSC), potential conductance index (PCI) relative (RSPS)) examined using methods...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect one most important foliar diseases, powdery mildew, on leaf physiological traits Quercus robur L. using chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters in combination with gas exchange. For this purpose, greenhouse semi-controlled experiment conducted 25 one-year-old seedlings kept optimal conditions, and same number infected mentioned pathogen. Measurements were carried out when coverage epiphytic micelia visually reached more than 75% surface...
Background and Purpose: Due to the ability uptake accumulate heavy metals (HM) in their aboveground tissues, trees may be used for phytoremediation purposes, but also as bioindicators of environmental pollution. The aims present study were: a) investigate content temporal variation studied HMs different plant organs during period intensive leaf falling (September-October), two species from genus Quercus ; b) evaluate observed relative plausible ranges element concentration foliar litter,...
Differences between genotypes are considered to be the most important requisite for a resilient urban forest. Analyses of physiological traits, such as leaf water potential and gas exchange could provide useful insight into capacity different species grow in harsh environments. In present study, variation midday (Psmd) predawn (Pspd) potential, net photosynthesis (A), rate transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) seven Silver linden (Tilia tomentosa...
Although oaks belong to the economically most important hardwood tree species in Europe, data on diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi pedunculate oak Republic Serbia are deficient. The aim our study was give first insight into ECM young stand Morović, Serbia. combination morpho-anatomical characterization and molecular analysis used for determination penduculate oak. Studied parameters included: (i) counting vital root tips, (ii) calculation indices (iii) classification morphotypes...
Poplars and willows have been cultivated for their environmental benefits millennia. In the present study, physiological responses were examined in three poplar willow clones grown soil from landfills near Novi Sad Belgrade, Serbia. The experiment, conducted under controlled conditions pots with directly landfill sites, aimed to identify most suitable based on performance substrates. Within process of phyto-recurrent selection, six selected this experiment: Populus deltoides cl. PE 19/6,...
The emission of CO2 from soil represents one the most significant fluxes between terrestrial ecosystems and atmosphere. It is crucial to investigate impact stand age on emissions in order evaluate possibility carbon sequestration through establishment new forests. In this study, microclimate variables (soil temperature moisture) were investigated chronosequence three differently aged stands (4-, 14-, 70-year-old stands) floodplain pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) forests Serbia. This study...
