Characterization of Serbian Spruce Variability Applying Isoenzyme Markers [PDF]
The Serbian spruce seedling seed orchard at Godovik represents a base for production improvement of selected seed material from this species, which can be used as initial material for extension of its range. This research paper covers the five phenogroups which confirmed the existence of the characteristic traits in the second known generation.

Climate change threatens on endangered relict Serbian spruce [PDF]
Abstract The increase in length and severity of drought events predicted for South-Eastern Europe are expected to engender important changes to remaining native forests. To make informed management decisions promoting their conservation, it is important to better understand their responses to climate and environmental disturbances. In this study, we

MOR and MOE of Serbian Spruce (Picea omorika Pančić/Purkyně) Wood from Natural Stands
The paper presents the results of testing the bending stress of Serbian spruce wood from natural stands. In testing the samples, in addition to the modulus of rupture, the bending stress at the proportionality limit, the ratio between the stress at the proportionality limit and the modulus of rupture as well as the modulus of elasticity of wood were ...

Impact of Mixing on the Structural Diversity of Serbian Spruce and Macedonian Pine Endemic to Relict Forest Communities in the Balkan Peninsula [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of different degrees of mixing on the diversity structure in stands left to spontaneous development. The research included two communities of species endemic to the Balkan Peninsula—the Serbian spruce (Picea omorika Pančić Purk.) and the Macedonian pine (Pinus peuce Griseb).

Oxalate oxidase and non-enzymatic compounds of the antioxidative system in young Serbian spruce plants exposed to cadmium stress [PDF]
We studied changes in the concentrations of ascorbate and glutathione, composition of soluble phenolics, and activity of oxalate oxidase in 75-day-old Serbian spruce plants after exposure to 5 μM and 50μM cadmium for 6-48 h.

Cone and seed variability in Serbian spruce – indicators of population endangerment
Serbian spruce (Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk., Pinaceae) is a tertiary relict and one of the rarest, most endangered, and protected conifer species in Europe. Alarmingly, many studies report a continuous decline in its population and vitality. In response to this concerning trend, the present research aims to better understand the reproductive potential

This paper aims to analyze the patterns and dynamics of long-term atmospheric pollution (deposition of Pb, Cd, and Hg) and its impact on Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk (Serbian spruce) forests in Tara National Park. Due to changing ecological conditions, these relict-endemic forests have experienced significant habitat loss and fragmentation of their last

Is the double-spined bark beetle Ips duplicatus a new threat to Picea omorika in urban habitats?
The double-spined bark beetle Ips duplicatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) is an invasive forest pest having a broad range of coniferous hosts within Europe. We found this species to be also developing in the Serbian spruce Picea omorika.
