STUDY OF OAK FORESTS AND SCRUBS OF HORNBEAM VEGETATION, METALS CONTENT OF TEUCRIUM CHAMEDRYS AND SOILS THE FIRST YEAR AFTER WILDFIRE ON VIDLIC MOUNTAIN
View through CrossRef
On the Vidlič Mountain in southeastern Serbia in the summer of 2007. the wildfire occurred, in which burned beech and oak forests, scrubs of hornbeam, dry pastures and rocky ground vegetation. The influence of wildfire on oak forests and hornbeam the first year after fire was followed. Depending of the speed with which the fire crossed the soil cover, there was a partial or total destruction of vegetation, plant species and their habitats. In the burned areas, soil was more alcaline in comparison to the non burned areas. Heavy metal content (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn and Fe) was generally increased both in the soil and plant species of Teucrium chamaedrys from the burned area, thought bellow the permitted limits for each metal.
Key words: fire, Vidlič, oak forests, scrubs of hornbeam, diversity, soil, heavy metals.
