The oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis L.) is a common natural floristic element in Southern Balkans (Albania, Greece, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo,) and is widely used in urban greenspace, as is also London plane tree (P. x acerifolia), especially in the last 2-3 decades. Unfortunately, both tree species are increasingly threatened by plant pathogenic fungi (Apiognomonia veneta (Sacc. & Speg.) Höhn; Ceratocystis platani (Walter) Engelbrecht & Harrington), as well as insect pests (Corythucha ciliata Say). The invasive plane tree lace bug (C. ciliata) and the sycamore seed bug (Belonochilus numenius Say), are Nearctic insect species which were firstly reported in Europe in 1964 and 2008, respectively. Both have spread in most plane tree regions of Europe and in the Balkans as well. The recent find of the seed bug in North Macedonia (2019) and its widespread presence, as well as omnipresence and high population density of the plane tree lace bug in that country (unpublished), prompted us to inspect urban and peri-urban plane trees in Kosovo, for which there are no previous records of these insects. During early October 2019 we registered presence of both insect species in urban and periurban plane tree populations Kosovo. Specimens were collected from all visited sites in Prishtina, Gjakova, Pegja, Uroshevac and Prizren from leaves and seed balls of P. x acerifolia and in the case of Prishtina from P. orientalis, and were identified in compliance to morphological characteristics typical for C. ciliata and B. numenius. Populations of C. ciliata were generally high, in extreme cases over 200 individuals (adults and larvae of all stages) per individual leaf. Further research is underway for detailed assessment of the distribution of both insect species on the total territory of Kosovo, as well as for establishment of population density, especially of C. ciliata which can pose a serious threat to the health status of plane populations. Although both species are well established and have been overlooked for many years (B. numenius) and many decades (C. ciliata), these are the first records for both the plane tree lace bug and the sycamore seed bug in Kosovo.

PHYTOPHTHORA CACTORUM (LEBERT & COHN) J. SCHRÖT AS CAUSAL AGENT OF DIEBACK OF CHESTNUT AND APPLE TREES IN MACEDONIA

<jats:p>From 2013–2017, 11 chestnut populations and 16 apple orchards/plantations in Macedonia were examined for health; soil, root and bark samples were collected from trees expressing symptoms regarded as Phytophthora specific. Using leaf baits of Prunus laurocerasus and selective V8 Agar (PARPNH), 19 pure Phytophthora sp. cultures were isolated and identified as P. cactorum by ITS sequencing. Sixteen isolates were from apple trees and 3 from chestnut trees. Phylogenetic analyses suggested slight distance between P. cactorum isolates originating from chestnut trees compared to those from apple orchards. Assessment of pathogenicity using chestnuts twigs showed no differences be-tween P. cactorum isolates from the two tree host species.</jats:p>

Woody plant diversity in mosque courtyards: a comparative study of pre- and post-republic periods

Mosque courtyards are important urban spaces from an environmental and cultural standpoint, yet little is known about their urban ecology. This study investigated the woody plant diversity in a total of 50 mosque courtyards in Burdur city centre, Türkiye, through an extensive field survey across pre- and post-republic periods. The investigation revealed a discernible shift towards greener and more meticulously designed mosque environments in the post-republic era, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of creating visually appealing and environmentally sustainable spaces within religious institutions. A total of 34 families, 61 genera, and 103 species were determined and observed. Furthermore, the study highlighted the ecological importance of certain plant species, particularly emphasizing the resilience of Pinus brutia and P. nigra in mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change and urbanization. Additionally, there was a notable consistency in the woody plant preferences between pre- and post-republican mosques. The woody plants such as Prunus domestica, Cedrus deodara, Cupressus arizonica, Olea europea, Pinus brutia, Vitis vinifera, and Rosa sp. were most commonly found in both periods of mosques. However, the presence of non-native species raises pertinent questions regarding the balance between tradition preservation and global biodiversity embrace. To address this disparity and enhance biodiversity, the study suggests prioritizing native species in mosque landscaping. Overall, by elucidating the complex interplay between plant diversity, cultural heritage, and environmental stewardship, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of mosques’ role as integral components of urban landscapes and suggests avenues for enhancing their societal and ecological contributions.
