Black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is one of the endangered native forest species in Europe, which is also endangered in
Serbia, with rare natural forests. One of the native black poplar populations in Serbia is conserved in the natural
protected area of „Veliko ratno ostrvo” Island, where this research was conducted. The wetland „Veliko ratno ostrvo”
Island is located in Belgrade (Serbia), at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. One of the important
endangering factors for vegetation in this area is an irregular change in water levels. This research aimed to determine
the survival rate of two-year old black poplar seedlings after the period of flooding on the „Veliko ratno ostrvo” Island.
The seedlings were produced in March 2017, from cuttings that originated from 9 trees, previously selected in this area.
The seedlings were planted on the field in autumn 2018. This research was conducted in 2019, when the period of
flooding and water stagnation on the „Veliko ratno ost...rvo” Island lasted 45 days (from middle May to the end of June),
with the highest water level at the beginning of June (the Danube water level was 603 cm, while the first flood alert is at
500 cm). The survival rate of seedlings was obtained based on the number of planted and the number of survived
seedlings after flooding. Seedlings originating from tree number 9 (clone number 9) had the highest survival rate after
the flooding period (85.70%), while the lowest value was recorded in clone number 8 (55.00%). More than 50% of
seedlings of all nine clones survived after the flooding. It can be stated that the seedlings of all nine clones have the
potential to be planted on the wetlands in Serbia, but this research should be continued with the aim of selecting
superior clones.
