Ovo istraživanje potaknuto je istraživačkim pitanjem postoje li neki konkretni problemi pri provođenju Zakona o zaštiti prirode i Plana upravljanja u samom Parku prirode Medvednica, koji je ujedno sastavni dio ekološke mreže Natura 2000. U radu su prikazani su rezultati istraživanja stavova predstavnika Javne ustanove PP Medvednica te su anketirani stanovnici rubnih zona PP Medvednica vezano uz tematiku korištenja i gospodarenja prostorom u zakonom zaštićenom području. Rezultati su pokazali da postoje problemi u PP od kojih je najvažniji problem odlaganje otpada i veliki broj posjetitelja koji se ne ponašaju u skladu s pravilima ponašanja u zaštićenom području. Kao najveće prednosti PP Medvednica navodi se da je to prostor za odmor i rekreaciju te predstavlja "pluća" grada Zagreba. Sadržaj koji najviše privlače stanovništvo rubnih zona jesu raznolikost biljnog i životinjskog svijeta te mir i tišina, čist zrak. Od biljaka sezonski se sakupljaju uglavnom plodovi (kesten, kupina i šumska jagoda) te gljive. Najčešće spominjane zaštićene biljne vrste jesu: Taxus baccata, Galanthus nivalis, Ilex aquifolium i Primula auricula i njih se ne sakuplja. Zaključujemo da su ispitanici dobro upoznati sa sadašnjim stanjem i aktualnim problemima, te smatraju da bi bilo nužno poduzeti bolju kontrolu unutar područja PP Medvednica.

The Toledo Mountains are a mid-elevation mountain range that separates the Tagus and Guadiana basins in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula. The location of these mountains allows the development of typical Mediterranean vegetation with some Atlantic influence. Consequently, typical broadleaved evergreen Mediterranean vegetation currently dominates the regional landscape, with the remarkable presence of more mesophilous species in sheltered and more humid microsites such as gorges (e.g., Prunus lusitanica, Taxus baccata, Ilex aquifolium) and mires/bogs (e.g., Betula pendula susbp. fontqueri, Erica tetralix, Myrica gale). Palaeoecological studies in these mountains are essential to understand the long-term ecology and original distribution of these valuable communities and are key to assess their resilience. Understanding the hazards and opportunities faced in the past by the plant communities of the Toledo Mountains is necessary to enhance the management and protection of those species currently threatened. This study focuses on El Perro mire, a peatland on the southern Toledo Mountains (central Spain) where climatic variability has played a major role in landscape dynamics at multi-decadal to millennial timescales. Climatic events such as the 4.2 ka cal. Before Present (BP) or the Little Ice Age triggered relevant landscape changes such as the spread and latter decline of birch and hazel forests. Human communities also seemed to be affected by these events, as their resilience was apparently jeopardized by the new climatic conditions and they were forced to find new strategies to cope with the new scenarios.

Abstract Introduction. There are approximately 300 species of poisonous plants in Poland. About 50 of them contain toxic substances which pose threat to health when consumed. Accidental poisonings remain the most common cause, but there were also cases correlated to suicidal or criminal purposes. There are only few toxicological departments in Poland keeping the records of plant poisonings, what makes presented data inaccurate. Aim. The authors decided to evaluate knowledge of Polish medical students regarding toxic plants and symptoms of its intoxication. Material and methods. The number of 734 online responses from students enrolled in medical studies at 16 different Polish universities were collected and analyzed to draw a conclusion. Results. As many as 87.6% of all respondents were in favor of introducing obligatory classes covering the issue of toxic plants. They were also asked to identify plants presented in the pictures. When it comes to 53.1% of students, they were familiar with Datura stramonium L. Over half of the participants were able to recognize the mild symptoms of intoxication, when 25.9% linked the poisoning to narcotic sleep. Taxus baccata L. was identified by 86.6% of the respondents and the majority of them possessed knowledge about the related symptoms. Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. and Caltha palustris L. were recognized by respectively 94% and 64% of the students. As many as 84.1% of participants knew the effects of Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden intoxication. All correct answers related to this poisoning were chosen by 48.3% respondents. The results revealed that the symptoms of Caltha palustris L. are unknown to the majority. Atropa belladonna L. was successfully identified by 93.6%, Galanthus nivalis L. by 55.4% of the students, with a lower percentage of correct responses related to its intoxication. Conclusions. Such differentiated knowledge can be the result of both educational variances and personal experience. Polish medical universities should consider introducing extra classes that would cover the issue of toxic plant intoxications.

Supplementary morphological descriptions of five Cecidophyopsis species collected in Europe (Serbia, Austria, Italy and Montenegro) are given: Cecidophyopsis vermiformis from Corylus avellana L. (Betulaceae), C. hendersoni from Yucca gigantea Lem. (Asparagaceae), C. verilicis from Ilex aquifolium L. (Aquifoliaceae), C. psilaspis from Taxus baccata L. (Taxaceae) and C. malpighianus from Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae). Males of C. vermiformis, C. verilicis, C. hendersoni and C. malpighianus, and immatures of C. hendersoni and C. verilicis, are described for the first time. C. verilicis is recorded for the first time in the fauna of Serbia and the European region. Female cuticle-lined internal genitalia of five Cecidophyopsis species are studied under confocal laser scanning microscopy. A several steps of oviposition in cecidophyines is proposed based on CLSM observations on their internal genitalia. Sequences of the barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene are given for the following species: C. hendersoni, C. verilicis, C. psilaspis and C. malpighianus.

Taxus species in different parts of the world prevent the formation of hepatoprotective, anticoagulant, antiulcerogenic, anti-coagulant, antifungal and tumour cells. In this study, biological activity studies were performed on the leaves, branches and fruits of the methanol extract of Taxus baccata L. species collected from Sivaslı district of Uşak province. The methanol extract of the T.baccata species, the total amount of phenolic content of the sample was found to be 14.76 mg GAEQ/1g dry sample in the highest leaves. In T.baccata methanol extract, the maximum amount of flavonoid content was 0.468±mg QE/g dry sample. Antioxidant activity value as DPPH radical; % inhibition value was found as 93.21%. Based on the results; It can be concluded that the leaves of T.baccata have higher antioxidant activity than fruits and branches. Future studies need to explore the chemical components contained in the T.baccata species to determine and investigate in further detail.
