Global climate change poses significant threats to ecosystems worldwide, particularly impacting long-lived forest tree species such as Pinus nigra. This study assessed the potential shifts in distribution areas for nigra, an important species, one highly vulnerable global change, given its prevalence continental climates, Türkiye under different scenarios (SSPs 585 and 245). In this study, suitable regions of nigra were evaluated based on SSPs 245 using nine models. Results indicated losses ranging from 15.0% 43.5% 245) 19.7% 48.9% 585) by 2100. However, 2100, new are expected be formed at rates 13.8% 32.1% 15.1% 34.4% according above scenarios.

Among the heavy metals (HMs) whose concentrations in natural environments have risen considerably last era, chromium (Cr) is one of most toxic. Because risks it poses to human and environmental health, great importance screen variation Cr contamination atmosphere decrease pollution. This study aimed determine proper tree species that can be used monitor reduce contamination. For this aim, studies were conducted on Tilia tomentosa, Robinia pseudoacacia, Cedrus atlantica, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Fraxinus excelsior growing Düzce, which among 5 contaminated European towns according World Air Pollution report. Samples taken from these trees examined, changes concentration depending species, organs, compass direction, age range 60 years evaluated. Results indicated higher pollution recent years, consistent with traffic density, but there was no effect direction.

One most important disrupting balance between living organisms ecosystem is metals. Heavy metals, particular, are transported top levels food chain cause harm organisms. Therefore, among pollutants, heavy metals have a specific ecological importance. carcinogenic and, due their bioaccumulative, non-degradable, refractory characteristics, they pose serious health risks systems environment. Pinus pinaster (Pp), Cupressus arizonica (Cpa), Picea orientalis (Po), Cedrus atlantica (Cda) Pseudotsuga menziesii (Pm) species were examined present study. Changes Ge concentrations these by directions organs periods 1988-1992 2013-2017 determined. As result study, lowest concentration was found west Pb (872.8) highest one north Cpa (6367.5).

Background: Heavy metal contamination in the air has been gaining importance from scientists due to increasing industrial activities, population growth, and density urban areas causing many crucial environmental pollution problems. metals do not quickly disappear decay nature; they accumulate plant organs indirectly affect human health. On other hand, some elements are essential for but have poisonous or carcinogenic consequences, even at small concentrations. Thus, determining observing heavy concentrations atmosphere is crucial., Plants utmost important indicator of concentration changes called biomonitors. The current study aims determine variation (K, P, Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr) inPicea pungensEngelm.
