The paper deals with the floristic and ecological diversity of the riparian forest and scrub communitiesof the Sutjeska National Park in SE Bosnia and Herzegovina. Watercourses of the NP are represented bymontane to submontane small rivers and creeks with fast-flowing water and frequent strong but shortfloods. This caused specific types of riverine forest vegetation to develop along their banks. Classificationand ordination methods of numerical analysis were applied on 42 relevés sampled in the field. Theclassification has revealed five ecologically interpretable relevé groups: (1) willow scrub of Salix eleagnosand S. caprea on fertile fine grained deposits; (2) forests of Alnus glutinosa and Salix alba also onfiner deposits; (3) narrow strips of Alnus glutinosa along the low banks of smaller streams; (4) narrowstrips of Alnus glutinosa along the steep banks of wider streams; (5) thermo-mesophilous scrub of Salixeleagnos and Ostrya carpinifolia on gravel beds. All five groups are floristically and ecologically welldistinguished. While groups 1 and 3 are similar to already described communities from Central Europe(Salicetum eleagno-purpureae and Stellario nemorum-Alnetum glutinosae, respectivelly), groups 4 and5 most probably present, up to date, undescribed associations. Group 2 is rather floristically and ecologicallyheterogeneous, and as such possess transitional character (between Salicion albae and Alnionincanae alliances). Ordination revealed ecological gradient from nutrient rich (groups 1 and 2) to lessnutrient rich communities (groups 4 and 5).

Abstract Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria was observed during cold winters in different parts of Croatia, along the Adriatic coast, on islands as well as inland. Their origin remains unknown, but they may belong to the population nesting in the Alps or in Dinaric parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The overwintering along the Adriatic coast was explored during field observations, but also from the literature and museum data. The field investigations were carried out in Istria, North Dalmatia, Paklenica NP, Kornati NP and central Dalmatia, Krka NP. In total, 96 observations were made: 35 specimens from museum collections and literature and 61 during field research. The Wallcreeper was observed in Velika and Mala Paklenica canyons in Paklenica NP during cold winters, but not during milder winters. In the Paklenica NP, the earliest individuals were observed on 10 Oct and the latest on 28 Apr. On the complete east Adriatic coast and in Croatian inland, the earliest record was made on 6 Sep and the latest on 2 May. There are 5-10 individuals overwintering in Paklenica National Park.

Tree Ring Width

Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) is the most common conifer species in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper describes the development of a silver fir master tree-ring chronology from Kozara National Park and analyzes the influence of the climate conditions on tree-ring widths. The knowledge concerning the effect of climate on cambium activity and, as a result, on tree growth is of great importance for silviculture, which is particularly complex in terms of deterioration of health condition. Four sites were selected for sampling at Kozara National Park. At each sampling site, 15 dominant trees were drilled with Pressler’s increment borer at breast height. The development of chronology included three steps: i) cross-dating of a series of tree-ring width and checking of their quality using the COFECHA program, ii) data standardization in the ARSTAN program, and iii) master chronology development. Correlation analysis was performed in order to determine the links between tree-ring width and climate (primarily temperature and precipitation). In the 88-year-long master chronology, pointer years analysis identified five positive and nine negative years. Correlation analysis revealed that precipitation had stronger and more significant impact on silver fir radial growth, particularly at the beginning of the growing season, in April and May (r=0.175 and r=0.318, respectively), and in the crucial July−September period (r in the range of 0.143−0.222). The highest negative correlation coefficient with temperature was determined for September of the previous year (r=-0.282) and then for summer months (July and August) of the current year (r=-0.184 and r=-0.272, respectively). In addition, statistically significant correlation between radial growth and the Forestry Aridity Index was determined (r=-0.390). The results of tree-ring width climate analysis obtained in this study are in accordance with other studies carried out in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the surrounding area.

Park Area

Old literature data together with recent field research were combined in order to present bryophytechecklist of the Sutjeska National Park. A total of 261 taxa were found within the park area, out of which40 are liverwort and 221 moss taxa. Bearing in mind a huge lack of bryological research in Bosnia andHerzegovina during last decades, 41 species were refound after more than fifty years, and 92 new for thepark area as well. Additionally, seven species are included in the candidate list of the new Red data bookof European bryophytes. These are: Anoectangium aestivum, Buxbaumia viridis, Cinclidotus aquaticus,Fontinalis hypnoides, Orthotrichum patens, Pseudocampylium radicale and Schistidium helveticum.

The Subject

The subject of this work is inadequate zoning in protected natural areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, case study - National park Sutjeska. Protected natural areas are under increasing anthropogenic impact, therefore their adequate zoning is the key to sustainable development and sustainable management. Recently, the performed zoning of the Sutjeska National Park, as well as most of the protected areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is inadequate and it is mainly established in order to exploit natural resources. As a confirmation of the above, it indicates that the zone III of protection level, where traditional economic activities are permitted, the construction of housing and tourist infrastructure, occupy a significant part in protected areas. General and specific geographical methods and techniques of research are used in this paper. The main focus is GIS method because throughout which is established significant database and maps of inadequate protection zones in the parks.

Although the general ultrastructure of Cyanidium caldarium, an acidophilic, thermophilic alga of questionable taxonomic rank, has been extensively studied (see review of literature in reference 1), some peculiar ultrastructural features of the chloroplast of this alga have not been noted by other investigators.Cells were collected and prepared for thin sections at the Yellowstone National Park and were also grown in laboratory cultures (45-52°C; pH 2-5). Fixation (glutaraldehyde-osmium), dehydration (ethanol), and embedding (Epon 812) were accomplished by standard methods. Replicas of frozenfracture d- etched cells were obtained in a Balzers apparatus. In addition, cells were examined after disruption in a French Press.

Background: Evidence on youth suicides from Southeastern Europe is scarce. We are not aware of previous reports from Bosnia and Herzegovina, which experienced war from 1992 to 1995. Durkheim’s theory of suicide predicts decreased suicide rates in wartime and increased rates afterward. Aims: To compare child and adolescent suicides in Bosnia and Herzegovina before and after the war. Methods: Data on youth suicide for prewar (1986–90) and postwar (2002–06) periods were analyzed with respect to prevalence, sex and age differences, and suicide methods. Suicide data from 1991 through 2001 were not available. Results: Overall youth suicide rates were one-third lower in the postwar than in the prewar period. This effect was most pronounced for girls, whose postwar suicide rates almost halved, and for 15–19-year-old boys, whose rates decreased by about a one-fourth. Suicides increased among boys aged 14 or younger. Firearm suicides almost doubled proportionally and were the predominant postwar method, while the most common prewar method had been hanging. Conclusions: The findings from this study indicate the need for public education in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the role of firearm accessibility in youth suicide and for instructions on safe storage in households. Moreover, raising societal awareness about suicide risk factors and suicide prevention is needed.
