“…The Stara Planina Mountains are part of the Balkan Mountain system (Milovanović, 2010) and are an extension of the Carpathian Mountains. They run 560 km from Eastern Serbia through central Bulgaria to the Black Sea, and their western part (around one fifth of the whole massif) is situated in Serbia (Stojanović, Tsekova, Pešić, Milanović, & Milutinović, 2013). (Ranđelović & Zlatković, 1998).…”

“…Vegetation includes 24 forest and bush, and 28 grass communities, which are ranged from the lowest belt of thermophilic deciduous forests to the highest zone of subalpine and alpine meadows and pastures. The Stara Planina Mountains represent one of the six biodiversity hotspots in Europe (Jakšić, 2008;Papp & Erzberger, 2007;Stojanović et al, 2013), and one of the centers of Arctic-Alpine flora in the Balkan Peninsula (Stevanović et al, 2009).…”

Wildfire has been one of the most dangerous environmental stressors nowadays. It is an important disturbance where ecosystem biomass is burned and where organisms are damaged or killed by fire. Therefore, the detecting and monitoring of this stressor are of great importance. During last decades, extensive forest fires have spread in Southern Europe, and they are registered in Serbia as well. During year 2007, several significant fires were registered in Stara Planina and Svrljiške Planine Mountains. The aims of this study were to detect land cover changes for the studied site from 2007-2017, to focus on monitoring the area affected by the wildfire, and to analyse the environment response to stressor. The study area is situated in East Serbia, partially covering the Mountains Stara Planina (western part) and Svrljiške planine (eastern part). The remote sensing techniques were used in the analysis and main satellite data were obtained via USGS Earth Explorer application. Six different classes were selected: Water, Forest, Pastures, Artificial area, Agriculture, and Bare soil. Results showed significant changes in two classes, Forest, and Pastures-the forest spread for more than 20% at the expense of pasture, which decreased more than 23%.

Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. This represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many users in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education.This paper provides updated information on the taxonomic composition and distribution of the Annelida - terrestrial Oligochaeta (Megadrili and Enchytraeidae), Aphanoneura and Polychaeta, recorded in Europe. Data on 18 families, 11 autochthonous and 7 allochthonous, represented in our continent by a total of 800 species, are reviewed, beginning from their distinctness, phylogenetic status, diversity and global distribution, and following with major recent developments in taxonomic and faunistic research in Europe. A rich list of relevant references is appended. The Fauna Europaea Annelida - terrestrial Oligochaeta data-set, as completed in 2004, will be updated accordingly.

“…In spite of a large number of studies on the community structure and the zoogeographical types of earthworm fauna in the mountains of Europe (Pop et al, 2010;Csuzdi et al, 2011;Stojanović et al, 2013;Popović et al, 2020) altitudinal patterns have not been sufficiently researched. Therefore, this study aims to examine the altitudinal patterns of earthworm community structure (total abundance, species richness, altitudinal range size, zoogeographical composition and ecological categories) at different habitat types on the western slopes of the Kopaonik Mt.…”
