AB  - Beech-fir forests comprise distinctly formed climate-regional vegetation belt on West Balkans. They are registered on various geological substrates: acidic, alkaline, ultra-alkaline; and on various types of soil: from humus-accumulative (mul-ranker), to brown (eutric), lessive soils and diluvium. These forests are highly productive on most localities and represent the most stable type of forest on Dinarides. Aim of this research was to gather floristic data which would aid in clearer eco-vegetational differentiation of these forests by comparing their floristic composition. Phytocoenological releves from Jastrebac, Maljen and Suvobor (Serbia), as well as releves from beech-fir virgin forest community on Biogradska Gora (Montenegro) were analyzed. CA analysis showed clear differentiation of phytocoenological releves and species depending on locality and geological substrate. Forests of beech and fir on granodiorite of Jastrebac are characterized by presence of typical fagetal species: Ulmus glabra, Tilia platyphyllos, Asperula odorata, Asa rum europaeum. Beech and fir forests on serpentinite of Suvobor and Maljen are characterized by poorer floristic composition and presence of xerophilic species, as well as species typically found in oak and pine forests (Quercus dalechampii, Fraxinus ornus, Daphne blagayana). Floristic composition of beech and fir communities on eruptives of Biogradska Gora differ significantly compared to localities in Serbia. They are found on higher altitudes, and contain typical beech-fir forest species as well as high-mountain species: Paris quadrifolia, Senecio nemorensis, Sanicula europaea, Rubus idaeus, Actaea spieata, etc. Forests of beech and fir on Jastrebac and Biogradska Gora contain more floral elements characteristic for humid areas, as opposed to beech and fir forests of Maljen and Suvobor, which feature more xerophilic elements. Highest values of Shannon Wiener index are on Biogradska Gora, where highest species count had been registered. Evenness index is highest on Maljen, which indicates that plant species there have most favorable spatial distribution.

AB  - The mountain beech forest represents a vast climate-regional belt of vegetation in Serbia, as well as the most economically important forest type, and takes up a significant area in Serbia and Montenegro. This paper focused on a comparison of the floristic composition of a typical mountain beech forest in Serbia and Montenegro in order to determine the differences between the investigated stands. A total of 12 phytocoenological releves were analyzed; 7 on Jastrebac (Serbia) and 5 on Biogradska Gora (Montenegro). CCA analysis showed that significant differences are present among the studied stands. Phytocoenological releves from Montenegro correlated with altitude and assembly, while releves from Serbia have a correlation with slopes. Differences in floristic composition are mostly due to various tree layering. Stands on Mt. Jastrebac are dispersed, which allow the penetration of light on the terrestrial flora, leading to weed growth. The composition of tree layers is quite dense on Biogradska Gora, thus the shrub layer is poor, whereas terrestrial flora is mainly comprised of species that thrive in areas of little light (sciophytes). In the spectrum of floral elements, species of Central European areal type dominate both sites, which expressed extreme mesophilic characteristics of researched stands. In the spectrum of life forms on Mt. Jastrebac, phanerophytes are dominant due to the large number of species in the tree and shrub layer, while geophytes are dominant on Biogradska Gora as a result of dense tree layering, therefore, the ground flora consists of species that can complete the reproductive cycle before trees begin to bloom.

AB  - The geomorphological map of the northeastern Durmitor Mountains and the plateau Jezerska Povrs. (1: 10,000, 47 km(2), Montenegro, Dinaric Alps) was prepared from an intensive fieldwork campaign and remote sensing analysis, and was compiled within a GIS. The basic components of the legend are (i) processes/genesis, (ii) materials, (iii) morphometry/morphography, (iv) hydrography, (v) vegetation and (vi) anthropogenic features. The geomorphological setting of the area consists of Mesozoic limestones which are physically deformed by Quaternary glacial and periglacial activity and chemically affected during interglacials. Glacial deposits on the plateau of three middle-to-late Pleistocene glacial phases are intersected by a well-developed network of palaeo meltwater channels. In the mountains, Holocene glacier retreat left behind a series of well-preserved recessional moraines. The map serves as a valuable tool for Quaternary research in the Durmitor Mountains, and also in other mountains of the Western Balkans.

AB  - The aim of this research was to identify characteristics of the three-dominant mixed forests of beech, fir and spruce (Piceeto-Abieti-Fagetum s. lat.) in Montenegro. Basic ecological, structural and production research was first analyzed and evaluated to define the multi-disciplinary character of the forests. Forest types recognizable from these basic characteristics were then defined as follows: (i) Mixed beech, fir and spruce forest (Piceeto-Abieti-Fagetum vaccinetosum s. lat.) on calcocambisol on limestone (Vukodol site): (ii) Mixed beech, fir and spruce forest (Piceeto-Abieti-Fagetum s. lat.) on acid cambisol on an eruptive base (Sula site); (iii) Mixed beech, fir and spruce forest (Piceeto-Abieti-Fagetum typicum s. lat.) on calcocambisol on an eruptive base of virgin forest structure (Biogradska gora). With these results an ecological based forest characterisation is available for forest planning and management.

Owing to the lack of anthropogenic impacts, it is an especially interesting and gratifying research subject for different experts and scientists. In order to implement a sufficiently high biodiversity level management, it is necessary to know the structural characteristics of untouched forests.
