Populus nigra in Serbia
Populus nigra L., Populus
pubescens (Parl.) Jov. et Tuc.,
Populus panonica it. et Bess.
(in lowlands), Populus

spontaneous simple and
complex hybrid.

Populus nigra in Serbia
• P. nigra consist pure stands
( Populetum nigrae) and mixed
stands with Salix sp. (S. alba).
• The distribution on highest level of
alluvial sediment on soil typefluvisol and humofluvisol.

Conservation of Populus nigra in Serbia
• Activities on conservation started in 1993 (in situ)• 60 genotypes collected and cloned in the Experimental estate
• Assessment of the susceptibility on diseases was conducted in juvenile
phase
• In 1996, PhD thesis was finished. The research in the thesis was
focused on different anatomical, physiological and morphological
characteristics. The results showed variability and stability of
characters on different soil types
• The biggest area for in situ conservation is in Nature reserve “Gornje
Podunavlje”

Serbia in EUFORGEN Populus nigra Network
• EUGORGEN – Populus nigra Network started in
1994• The First meeting where Serbian delegate
participate was held in Geraarsbergen (Belgium) in
1997
• Active participation started form 2002, when Serbia
joined to the Program• 2 genotypes of P. nigra from Serbia were included
in EUFORGEN collection situated in Casale
Monferratto and Wageningen
• The copy of EUFORGEN P. nigra collection exist
on Experimental Estate of the Institute of Lowland
Forestry and Environment

Threats to populations• Loss of habitat
• Introgression of alleles from hybrid
poplars
• Diseases
• Pests
LOSS OF GENETIC VARIABILITY!!!!

Dothichiza populea Sacc. et Br. – bark canker of
black poplars
• Black poplar and its clones have increased
sensitivity to this pathogen.
• Weakness parasite (young plants are
sensitive when their viability reduced)
• The most effective control – selection or
creation and introduction of less sensitive
clones in practice and production.

• It occurs mainly in young plants
(aged 1-7 years)
• The fungus causes premature
defoliation and physiologicalweakness of the plants.
• Protection measures: create
favorable conditions for the
development of plants andfungicide application.
Marssonina brunnea Ell. et Ev. (P. Magn.) – causal
agent of brown leaf spot of black poplars

• They appear in the second part ofthe growing season (in the most
intense on adult trees).
• The consequences of attacking are
similar to the previous disease(premature defoliation,
physiological weakness of the
plants, loss of increment).
• Protection measures: the choice of
less sensitive clones and applicationof appropriate fungicides.
