AB  - Riparian areas experience strong invasion pressures worldwide and represent important points of spread for invasive alien plants (IAPs) in the European mainland. The Danube Basin is a well-known point of high plant invasion levels. Given that the middle part of the Danube Basin is critically understudied and the general lack of data for Serbia, the study aimed to provide an insight into the spatial patterns of plant invasions in the riparian areas of Serbia (Middle Danube Basin area). A total of 250 field sites, distributed along 39 rivers (nine catchment areas) and six canal sections, were studied during a four-year period (2013–2016) for the presence and abundance of IAPs. At the landscape scale, we studied distribution patterns of IAPs, differences in invasion levels in different catchment areas and between rivers and canals. At the local scale, we investigated how the proximity to roads/railway lines, housing areas, different land-use types (primarily agriculture), and dominant vegetation on site related to invasion patterns. Of the 26 studied IAPs, those with a well-known weedy behavior, long history of cultivation and strong affinity for riparian areas prevailed in the study area. Riparian zones of the Danube catchment exhibited the highest invasion levels in terms of IAPs richness and abundance, followed by the catchment areas of the Timok, Sava and Zapadna Morava rivers. Surprisingly, the Danube-Tisa-Danube canal network had the lowest invasion level. At the local scale, agriculture in proximity of the field site and dominant vegetation on site were observed as significant predictors of the invasion level. On the other hand, proximity to roads/railway lines and housing areas was not related to the invasion level. Finally, our study provides the first systematic overview of IAPs’ distribution data for riparian areas of the Middle Danube Basin in Serbia, which could provide a basis for long-term monitoring of IAPs and development of future management plans.

AB  - Portulaca oleracea L. is one of the most widely distributed plant species, invading a host of worldwide regions. Rivers and canals, as
corridors connecting neighboring habitats, are known to exhibit high invasion levels. Consequently, the aim of this paper was to show
which catchment areas, environmental factors and habitat types can be seen as predictors of the presence of this invasive species in the
riparian areas of Serbia. Field research was carried out at 250 field sites, where the cover and abundance of P. oleracea, relevant
environmental variables and habitat type were recorded. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and response curves fitted using a generalized
linear model (GLM) were used to show the relation of the cover of P. oleracea and the following variables: catchment area, predominant
bank material, elevation, and the total number of invasive species on site. A non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) was used to
group sites where P. oleracea was found, based on the values of its cover. In general, primarily the rivers in the northern, low-lying part of
Serbia can be seen as important corridors of the spread of P. oleracea. Its dominance is especially associated with areas draining into the
Danube and Sava rivers and field sites characterized by a high pressure of invasive plants. Of the total number of records, the highest
number of invaded field sites was recorded along the Danube, Tisa and Zapadna Morava rivers. Regarding the environmental and habitat
predictors, the results have shown that the abundance of P. oleracea is associated with gravelly and sandy banks and grassland habitat
types, primarily anthropogenic herb stands.

AB  - Pistia stratiotes L. (water lettuce) is known as one of the most troublesome aquatic macrophytes, strongly affecting the environment and human activities in slowmoving and stagnant inland water systems. It was introduced into Europe in the 20th century and has since spread to 15 European countries. This paper presents data on the first record of this invasive aquatic plant in natural inland waters of Vojvodina (northern lowland part of Serbia) and discusses the possible pathways of its introduction. Field research was conducted in October and November 2017 on the Begej River in Vojvodina Province (Serbia), where populations of P. stratiotes were documented for the first time near Srpski Itebej, in close proximity (1.2 km downstream) of the Romanian border. The plant samples were collected, photographed in situ and deposited in the BUNS Herbarium. The relevant environmental data were also recorded in situ and water samples were collected for chemical analysis. This new record presents the first documented case of this invasive alien in rivers in Serbia, and expands upon the previous findings of this species in natural thermal waters of south-eastern and eastern Serbia. Taking into account the distance from the Romanian border and the fact that it has already been present in this country for several years, this introduction could be attributed to the spontaneous spreading of P. stratiotes from this neighbouring country. Nevertheless, despite this possibility, discarded aquarium plants cannot be entirely discounted as a potential source of this new introduction. Although it is hard to predict the exact consequences of this new introduction at such an early stage, bearing in mind the detrimental impacts P. stratiotes can have on the environment and excellent lateral connectivity of the Begej River with the canal and river network of Serbia, this finding highlights the need to take urgent action to control and instate regular monitoring measures, especially on the rivers and canals located close to the state borders.

abstract = "Pistia stratiotes L. (water lettuce) is known as one of the most troublesome aquatic macrophytes, strongly affecting the environment and human activities in slowmoving and stagnant inland water systems. It was introduced into Europe in the 20th century and has since spread to 15 European countries. This paper presents data on the first record of this invasive aquatic plant in natural inland waters of Vojvodina (northern lowland part of Serbia) and discusses the possible pathways of its introduction. Field research was conducted in October and November 2017 on the Begej River in Vojvodina Province (Serbia), where populations of P. stratiotes were documented for the first time near Srpski Itebej, in close proximity (1.2 km downstream) of the Romanian border. The plant samples were collected, photographed in situ and deposited in the BUNS Herbarium. The relevant environmental data were also recorded in situ and water samples were collected for chemical analysis. This new record presents the first documented case of this invasive alien in rivers in Serbia, and expands upon the previous findings of this species in natural thermal waters of south-eastern and eastern Serbia. Taking into account the distance from the Romanian border and the fact that it has already been present in this country for several years, this introduction could be attributed to the spontaneous spreading of P. stratiotes from this neighbouring country. Nevertheless, despite this possibility, discarded aquarium plants cannot be entirely discounted as a potential source of this new introduction. Although it is hard to predict the exact consequences of this new introduction at such an early stage, bearing in mind the detrimental impacts P. stratiotes can have on the environment and excellent lateral connectivity of the Begej River with the canal and river network of Serbia, this finding highlights the need to take urgent action to control and instate regular monitoring measures, especially on the rivers and canals located close to the state borders.",

AB  - Massive gravel excavation is one of the most destructive forces affecting riverine habitats in Europe. However, gravel pit lakes are also recognized as valuable wildlife refuge areas. Different hydromorphological characteristics of gravel pits may influence aquatic biota differently. Optimal selection of gravel excavation procedures may create favorable conditions for ecosystem diversity. The aim of this study was to correlate hydromorphological variables against macrophyte composition and metrics in gravel pit lakes along the lower course of the Drina River. Field research was carried out at 18 gravel pit lakes (60 survey sectors) and four fluvial lakes (13 survey sectors), during the summer months of 2015, 2016 and 2018. The role of hydromorphological variables in structuring macrophyte assemblages was tested using the partial Canonical Correspondence Analysis, while the Generalized Linear Model was performed to test the ability of selected hydromorphological attributes to predict macrophyte quantitative metrics. The results demonstrated high habitat quality and conservation value of the gravel pit lakes compared to natural sites. Hydromorphological predictors for different macrophyte assemblages were defined. General recommendation is that two pit types should be excavated within a single extraction field, with the minimal impact to the riparian and shore zones. The first type should be located up to 100m from river main channel, having area  lt 1000m(2) and a relative depth ratio  gt 5%. The second type should be optimally located 300m form river main channel, with maximum depth of 3-4m, surface area of 10,000-20,000m(2), and a relative depth ratio  lt 5%.

AB  - The majority of aquatic vegetation studies in the Middle Danube Basin (Serbia) were done independently during the last two decades, including data from small areas, which resulted in several classification solutions. The main purpose of this paper was to develop a numerical classification of the aquatic vegetation in Serbia, without fitting the vegetation groups into the existing phytocoenological classification scheme. Datasets of (i) surface and subsurface vegetation of free-floating duckweeds, ferns, liverworts and bladderworts, and (ii) vegetation of free-floating hydrocharids, submerged occasionally anchored ceratophyllids and rooted aquatic vegetation were compiled from phytocoenological releves (974). In order to fill the geographical and methodological gaps of these datasets, additional data matrix (iii) was compiled from sample quadrats (1055), collected during the aquatic vegetation season (summer months) of 2009, 2010 and 2011 at 31 lakes in Serbia. The datasets were analyzed using SYN-TAX 5.1 program, by non-metric hierarchical clustering OrdClAn and the Goodman-Kruskal's gamma resemblance coefficient. The cluster analysis revealed 28 aquatic vegetation groups (VG), of which three have been recognized as new vegetation units for the area of study: VG dominated by Vallisneria spiralis and Potamogeton perfoliatus, VG characterized by Polygonum amphibium and VG with Paspalum paspaloides as a constant. Geographical ranges and constant, diagnostic and dominant species of vegetation groups were determined.

AB  - Despite the absence of a centralized national phytocoenological database of Serbia, over 16,000 relevés of all vegetation types have been gathered and stored in the database “Phytocoenosis of Serbia” as a result of the Project “Habitats of Serbia”. However, as the data on aquatic and semiaquatic vegetation comprise only 5% of the collected relevés, the aim of this paper is to expand on this, complete the database and present the data on these vegetation types in Serbia. The work included the expansion of the existing database with the addition of relevant sources, their digitalization, using Flora and Turboveg programs, and their subsequent georeferencing, using OziExplorer and DIVAGIS softwares. Consequently, the phytocoenological database on aquatic and semiaquatic vegetation in Serbia now stores 1,720 relevés from 243 phytocoenological tables, collected and published by 24 authors during the period of 70 years (1940–2010), with the majority of the relevés collected over the last decade (56.40%). Phragmito-Magno-Caricetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941 (Syn: Phragmitetea communis R. Tx. et Prsg. 1942), Potametea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941 (Syn: Potametea R. Tx. et Preising 1942) and Lemnetea de Bolós et Masclans 1955 (Syn: Lemnetea minoris W. Koch et R. Tx. 1955) have proven to be the most represented classes, while Scirpo-Phragmitetum W. Koch 1926 (nomen ambiguum) and Salvinio natantis-Spirodeletum polyrrhizae Slavnić 1956 are associations with the highest number of relevés in the database. Accordingly, the most common species (>500 relevés) are Ceratophyllum demersum L. subsp. demersum, Lemna minor L. and Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleiden.

AB  - Xanthium strumarium L., also known as common cocklebur, is a potentially invasive weed species in Serbia. It is one of the most competitive weeds, strongly affecting the yield of some crops, such as maize, soybean, sunflower, sugar beet, etc. Since watercourses act as important transportation routes for the long-distance dispersal of weeds and the fruit of X. strumarium is easily dispersed by water, our aim was to analyse the degree of X. strumarium invasion in riparian areas of Serbia and examine the role of rivers and canals as its potential invasion corridors. The field research was carried out during the summer months of 2013,2014, and 2015, along the course of 35 rivers and five major canals of the Danube- Tisa-Danube Hydrosystem (HSDTD) in Serbia. Fieldwork was conducted along 100 m long transects of 500 m long river stretches (chosen following the RHS methodology), where the invasive alien weed species presence and abundance were recorded. Over the period of three years, the presence of X. strumarium was recorded along the course of 33 rivers (94.25%), while it was documented along 66.85% of the total number of river stretches. However, along the canals, it was recorded in only 12% of the localities. The data on the distribution ofX. strumarium expand the existing knowledge on the distribution of this economically harmful weed species in our country, while at the same time highlighting riparian areas of rivers as potentially important corridors of its spread.

AB  - Increasing levels of invasion worldwide have been the source of concern for scientists, due to significant costs and efforts required for managing them. The knowledge of invasion pathways, both those of initial introduction and subsequent spread, is of key importance, since further increase in the number of pathways and vectors of invasion is predicted for the 21st century. At regional scales habitat type has proven to be a reliable predictor of the level of invasion, as certain habitat types (i.e. frequently disturbed, under strong anthropogenic influence) is characterized by high invasion levels. Riparian habitats, as hotspots of alien species diversity and primary sources of their spread, represent some of the most important invasion corridors, where water acts as an effective dispersal mechanism. Some invasive plant species, like Reynoutria spp. show a strong tendency to invade riparian habitats. Preliminary findings of field surveys aimed to assess the level of riparian invasion by Reynoutria spp. in Serbia suggest that some river basins are significantly affected by the presence of these invasive species. Bearing in mind the principal means of their propagation, further spread of Reynoutria spp. along the rivers in Serbia is to be expected over the following years.
AB  - Stepen invazija koji je u porastu širom sveta zabrinjava naučnike, zbog značajnih troškova i napora koji su neophodni u njihovom kontrolisanju. Poznavanje puteva invazije, kako početnog unosa tako i naknadnog širenja vrsta, od ključnog je značaja, jer je u 21. veku prognoziran dalji porast broja puteva i vektora invazije. Na regionalnom nivou tip staništa se pokazao kao pouzdani pokazatelj nivoa invazije, jer određene tipove staništa (često remećena, pod snažnim antropogenim uticajem) karakteriše visok nivo invazije. Riparijalna staništa, kao centri diverziteta alohtonih vrsta i primarni izvor njihovog širenja, predstavljaju neke od najznačajnijih koridora invazije, u kojima voda deluje kao uspešan mehanizam disperzije. Neke invazivne vrste biljaka, poput Reynoutria spp. pokazuju snažnu tendenciju ka invaziji riparijalnih staništa. Preliminarni rezultati terenskih istraživanja koji su za cilj imali procenu nivoa invazije riparijalnih staništa vrstama roda Reynoutria u Srbiji ukazuju na to da su slivovi nekih reka pod značajnim uticajem prisustva ovih invazivnih vrsta. Imajući u vidu osnovni vid njihove propagacije, dalje širenje Reynoutria spp. duž reka u Srbiji može se očekivati tokom narednih godina.
