UDK 631.416/.417:630*114(497.6) Elemental composition of the surface soil layers has a direct effect on soil productivity and an important role in the quality of the terrestrial ecosystems. Herein, soil has the function of a geochemical sink and natural buffer, controlling the release of contaminants to hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biota. Vertical distribution of HNO3 pressure digested concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Mn, P, S, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn is determined in three rather common soil types: Cambisol, Dystric, Cambisol, Eutric and Fluvisol in central part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Site differences, with the reference to soil parent material, dominantly influenced element distribution and accumulation. In addition to land-use, forest seedling production influenced significant (p<0.05) decrease of Ca in Ajdinovići, Mg in Žepče and S in all three sites in 0 to 30 cm soil depth. Summary data for element concentrations for this central region, reported with medians, were: 0.76 g/kg Na, 9.30 g/kg K, 3.54 g/kg Ca, 5.28 g/kg Mg, 27.9 g/kg Fe, 43.7 g/kg Al. 0,98 g/kg Mn, 0.5 g/kg P, 0.27 g/kg S, 3.46 mg/kg Cd, 18.4 mg/kg Co, 99.5 mg/kg, 24.7 mg/kg Cu, 65.1 mg/kg Ni, 30.6 mg/kg Pb, 90.7 mg/kg Zn.

SA@ETAK: U ovom ~lanku prikazano je istra`ivanje tri skupine stabala hibridne platane (Platanus acerifolia /Aiton/ Willd.) iz aleja sa Sarajevskog podru~ja, to~nije s lokalitetima: Ilid`a, Ned`ari}i, Dobrinja. Platane su zasa|enu u razli~itim razdobljima, po~etkom 20 stolje}a, potom osamdesetih godina pred Olimpijske igre u Sarajevu, te neposredno nakon domovinskog rata u Bosni i Hercegovini. Kao kontrola u ovom istra`ivanju uporabljena je isto~nja~ka platana (Platanus orientalis L.) podrijetlom sa Cipra. Uspore|ene su ~etiri mikrosatelitne (ccmp3, ccmp6, ccmp7, ccmp10) i jedna nekodiraju}a hloroplastna DNA regija (trnT-trnL) te jedna jezgrena (5S) regija. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata nije bilo mogu}e razlikovati istra`ivane jedinke.
