AB  - In nature, woody substrates are usually degraded by entire communities of microorganisms, which are nowadays jeopardised by anthropogenic influence, making it important to define the functional specificity of every species. Two strains of autochthonous fungi from Serbian lowland forests (Pleurotus ostreatus Ser1 and Cyclocybe aegerita Ser1) have been investigated for their ability to degrade lignin substrates [oak sawdust, oak isolated cell walls, and synthetic dehydrogenative polymer (DHP)]. Measuring the activities of the enzymes involved in lignin degradation was coupled with detecting the HPLC profile of the phenolics in the fungal growth media, and the lignin loss. While Pleurotus ostreatus Ser1 appeared highly effective within a very short time span, Cyclocybe aegerita Ser1 failed to degrade lignin. This situation was supported by very high enzyme activities and the low presence of phenolics in the media of Pleurotus ostreatus Ser1, compared to very low enzyme activity and the high presence of phenolics in the media with Cyclocybe aegerita Ser1.

AB  - Lowlands of Central Serbia are mostly covered by alluvial soils, while the natural vegetation types are various alluvial forests differentiated by the distance from the river bad (dynamics of soil water potential regimes) and gradients of  soil structure, nutrient availability and soil pH (Marjanovic et al 2020). These forests have been heavily exploited for timber throughout the human history, but what has remained still represent significant hotspots of above and belowground biodiversity. The rare specificity of these ecosystems is the high diversity of truffles, fungi producing belowground fruiting bodies, among which the most prised white Piedmont truffle holds a special attention (Bragato and Marjanovic, 2016). 
In order to describe these special habitats of Balkan Peninsula, we have conducted various experiments, mostly concentrated on soils that support the fructification of this ecologically and economically important species. In this contribution we will summarize results on soil structure, soil water content dynamics, nutrient availability, seasonality of soil processes as well as seasonality of root associated mycobiomes of selected alluvial forests. We focus on connecting the fructification of white truffle to different soil factors (Marjanovic et al 2015), as well as on defining the differentiation factors that have been shaping root associated mycobiomes (Marjanovic et al 2020). The contribution was set to uncover as many soil traits as possible to reveal the answer to the question of what are the ideal conditions of soil/vegetation /climate combination that is suitable for such specific fungal communities.

AB  - Truffle diversity of Balkan Peninsula does not stop to surprise the scientific community with three new species from the melanosporum clade described in last year's (Mereny et al 2017, Milenković at al 2015,  Slavova et al 2023). Out of large set of ITS sequences,  Mereny at al. (2017) described T. cryptobrumale as connected to Pannonian region, but two other genetically quite distinctive populations were not distinguished as species. In this contribution, we have analyzed larger set of sequences and their habitats and detected strong connection between specimens with specific ITS/LSU region variants to ecologically specific habitats of Balkan peninsula. Soils and vegetation where these specimens have been detected rather resemble descriptions of T. melanosporum sites in Italy, while habitats of T. cryptobrumale resemble those of T. magnatum. Additionally, we have detected numerous populations of T. melanosporum in the coastal regions of Croatia, while this species has never been officially detected eastern from Dinaric alps in Balkan peninsula. We hypothesize that T. melanosporum could never overcome low temperatures of high and long Dinaric massive and is therefore localized in the western Mediterranean regions. This could be the reason why the melanosporum clade has been highly diversifying in Balkan regions. Moreover, the genetic variant widely distributed all over Europe and described as “T. brumale” has never been detected in the Balkans. Therefore, we propose that ecologically and genetically specific taxon that is widespread only in Balkan peninsula (and to some extent northwards) should be recognized as a different species - Tuber balkanicum.

AB  - The impact of plastic pollution on forest soil biota is an emerging research area. There are knowledge gaps on a forest microbiome composition and activity as effected by wild waste deposition in forest ecosystems located on white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) habitat areas. Particles of plastic materials decompose into micro-plastic particles and are responsible for many changes in the soil physicochemical characteristics, including porosity, enzymatic activities, microbial activities, plant growth. One of the first investigations of plastic and microplastic (MP) in the soil on the territory of Serbia is currently underway and is being carried out within the project "Evaluation of the Microplastic in the Soils of Serbia - EMIPLAST - SoS". The research sites are located on the alluvial plains of the largest rivers in Serbia, which are the habitats of the white truffle.
Forest sites visibly polluted and non-polluted by plastic materials were sampled and analysed for soil main chemical, physical and biological properties. Potentially mineralizable soil organic carbon was measured in a long-term incubation of soil samples with sequential measurement of the emitted CO2 flax by alkali trap method. 
Preliminary results showed that some soil properties such as pH, electrical conductivity, total C and N, CEC and mechanical composition are significantly affected by the presence of plastic materials. Generally, polluted sites showed elevated microbial respiration and the rates of C mineralization. For the Danube and Morava River basin the differences were significant, while for the Sava river basin the difference wasn’t significant. In order to establish the level of the negative impact of microplastics on soil properties and microbial activity in the longer term, the study is ongoing.

AB  - Plastic has been recognized as one of the leading pollutants of all ecosystems. This question has been rarely raised in Serbia, although there is a significant problem with the disposal of communal and agricultural waste. Many wild landfills have been created in past decades in forests near the plasticulture practicing areas and rivers. Plastic materials are degraded by the influence of UV light and various environmental factors, creating smaller particles called microplastics, which are recognized as significantly dangerous to ecosystems. Alluvial planes have been the most endangered due to the horizontal and vertical fluvial activities of the nearby rivers. The influence of soil microplastics on insect communities has not been widely considered and that is why the project EMIPLAST-SoS has been created to investigate insect communities in polluted and unpolluted alluvial soils in Serbia. We compare them in forest and agricultural ecosystems on similar alluvial soils in three locations near three largest rivers in Serbia. Preliminary results from one-season sampling are considered. During the project the influence of the different seasons effects will be investigated. Additionally, we have investigated the rate of plastic decomposition by five insect species in lab conditions (Plodia interpunctella Hubner, Tenebrio molitor L., Zophobas morio Fabr., Achroia grisella Fabr. and Galleria mellonela L.). G. mellonela expressed the highest and the most diverse decomposition of different plastic sources like plastic bags, sponges and styrofoam. The analyses of the obtained plastic residues are still underway.
