Potential for Green Corridors Along the Danube River in Novi Sad, Serbia

Green corridors are areas or bands that play the role of separating two functionally different areas with natural elements usually different types of vegetation (trees, shrubs, flowers, and grass). Another important feature of green corridors is linking the leafy area into a unique whole. In this case, prevent fragmentation habitat corridors and represented areas in which it can develop biodiversity. If the green corridors are along the banks (lakes, rivers, seas, channels) their importance is increasing. Green corridors that follow the coastline, depending on the types of trees and shrubs may have a significant impact on water levels and groundwater levels. In social terms microclimate conditions of green belts along the water allows the development of a number of functional programs. If these corridors are within the urban structure benefits that these areas provide their citizens are manifold. The variety of content along the coast can have a positive impact on mental and physical health of users. The banks and their contents must be designed and made available to all residents because it will be the only way to enable their everyday use that leads to positive results for the health of the individual. In this sense, the selection of functions, their positioning along a green corridor and the water\u27s surface, and the distance between certain functional content must be carefully thought out. All functions within the Green corridors along the banks of the Danube and the canal Danube-Tisa-Danube (DTD) in Novi Sad must be connected with continuous pedestrian and bicycle communication - paths. Bearing in mind that the bike trail corridor Eurovelo 6 in its one part passes through the territory of Novi Sad this association is even more significant. In order to fulfil the requirement of accessibility of these paths along the coast, they must be associated with the entire system of walking and biking paths throughout the city. The city network of these paths must also be associated with a network of interurban and suburban areas in the immediate environment of Novi Sad. The theme of this paper is to explore the potential that provides the left bank of the Danube and both banks of the canal DTD in Novi Sad. Part of the research paper is to identified the existing facilities and it’s important for recreation and socialization for all residents particularly ones living along the Danube and canal DTD waterfront

Pomološke karakteristike genotipova divlje trešnje (Prunus Avium L. /Moench/) iz populacije sa Potkozarja

This paper presents the results of the investigation of wild cherry (Prunus avium L. /Moench/) population in the area of Potkozarje. The studied genotypes grow in association with sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) on acidic soil. Indicators of tree growth of wild cherry genotypes and pomological characteristics show a high variability inside the population. The selected specimens are an excellent source of reproductive material for the nursery production.U radu su prikazani rezultati ispitivanja populacija divlje trešnje (Prunus avium L. /Moench/) na lokalitetu Potkozarja. Ispitivani genotipovi rastu u sastojini sa pitomim kestenom (Castanea sativa Mill.) na zemljištu kisele hemijske reakcije. Pokazatelji rasta stabala kao i pomološke karakteristike plodova divlje trešnje pokazuju veliku varijabilnost unutar populacije. Izabrani genotipovi predstavlju izvor reprodukcionog materijala za rasadničku proizvodnju
