AB  - Soil degradation is a global problem and researchers are facing the challenge of assessing the scale, trends, and consequences of contributing processes. With this in mind, this study implemented the new concept of multiple soil degradation indices (MSDI) for the first time in the region of Sumadija and Western Serbia (SWS). This concept enables the simultaneous integration of several environmental components that can act separately or synergistically and offers concrete answers and information on the state and distribution of physical (PSDI), chemical (CSDI) and biological (BSDI) soil degradation. Using several different geospatial-modelled approaches, results indicated that physical degradation was the greatest contributor to soil degradation in the SWS region with an impact of 55%, followed by chemical degradation at 16%, while biological degradation only had a 6% impact. The dominant indicator of physical degradation was the vegetation cover management factor with an impact of approximately 58%, while for chemical degradation it was soil organic matter, with a relative impact of almost 49%. Total microflora and total number of fungi were the most significant biological indicators with an average impact of approximately 43%. In addition, this study indicated that about 59% of the region is currently degraded, with about 44% of it classified as moderately degraded. The results of this study offer new insights into the geospatial dynamics of interactive degradation processes in Serbia and can form the basis for strengthening scientific, expert, and political support when implementing international and national policies concerned with protecting soil from degradation.

AB  - In urban areas, the presence of toxic microelements in the environment due to the anthropogenic impact (primarily of traffic) poses a serious problem. The negative impact of pollution on populated urban areas is particularly manifest in children. To establish the level of microelement pollution, at 40 localities in the municipality of Stari grad in Belgrade we sampled surface soil near kindergartens and schools during 2013. By applying remote sensing and GIS, small green areas were selected and the spatial distribution of microelements was determined. Because of their different origins and anthropogenic impact, three heavy metals, Cd, Ni and Zn, were examined; the level of soil pollution was assessed by determining their total content, pollution index (Pi), enrichment factor (EF), single risk factor (Ei) and ecological risk index (RI). The highest concentration established was that of Zn, with a mean value of 223.11 mg/kg. The Pi values for Zn (2.96) and Cd (2.98) were similar. Due to the prevailing geological substrate, Ni had the lowest EF (0.75) and Ei (3.09). The effect of the geological substrate on the Ni content was also confirmed by its very high concentration along the banks of the rivers Sava and Danube, while the total contents and factors for Cd and Zn indicated that they were concentrated in the city center. Our results show that 30.72% of the green areas in the city center have a moderate RI, which indicates that the examined pollutants do not present a danger to children.
