Main characteristic of surface soil layer (pH in KCl, humus, available P and K), and content of trace ele ments (Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, As, Hg) were analysed on area of southwestern Serbia, covering total 959 000 ha
(one sample represents 1000 ha) .
About 30 % of samples have very acid reaction. Main portion of soil samples (86%) is poorly suplied with
available phosphorus (<8 mg/100g), and these are located under forests, meadows, pastures and orchards. Supplies
of available potasium and humus are well. On the other hand, in small number of soil samples (4%), mostly on
fertile alluvial soils, there are high P and K concentration, which are consequence of inadequate usage of mineral
fertilizers.
Content of trace elements in 70 % of soil samples is bellow maximum allowed concentration (MAC). The most fre quente potential pollutants are Cr and Ni, which is assosiated with mafic and ultramafic rocks, which are common
in this region (mountains naerby river Ibar - Troglav, Stolovi,... Cemerno, Željin, Golija, Kopaonik; near Sjenica- ˇ
peridotites of mn. Ozren). There are dominace of Eutric Leptosols soil type, with Ni content above 100 mg/kg, and
in some samples above 1000 mg/kg. In smaller number of samples arsenic and lead exceed MAC, while other ele ments exceed MAD very rarelly. There are elevated Pb content in Kopaonik mountain area, and elevated As content
besides this region, are in mine zone of Golija and Cemerno. These are mountain soils formed on acid igneous and
metamorphic rocks, which are enriched with ores of Pb, Zn and other elements. Eventually negative influences
of these elements on plants and other components of ecosystem may be esstimated only after detalied investigation
