Tračak lepote se zaista može pronaći u našem svakodnevnom okruženju. Sve što je za to potrebno, je mentalno prisustvo da ih opazite, trenutak da ih vrednujete i srce da u njima uživate.

  A view of Buenos Aires, Argentina
  
  With the expansion of the human population and the spread of electrical lighting in the last decades, the use of artificial lights at night has so tremendously increased that today it is one of the most pervasive human-induced environmental alterations.
  
  Investigations of ecological consequences of artificial illumination have been the focus of my research in last few years, integrated into COST LoNNe network in a collaboration with IGB Loss of the Night.

Priroda nije uvek na dohvat ruke kada živimo u gradu, ali je često udaljena za jednu kratku šetnju ili vožnju.

Mnoge vrste su pronašle impresivne načine da se adaptiraju i prosto bujaju u gradskom okruženju. Novo istraživanje ukazuje da se u gradovima odvija evolucija vrsta koje u njima žive, tako da se time čak stvaraju nove vrste.

  Nikola Tesla was a famous inventor ahead of his time. It is less known that he advocated for renewable energy. He recognized that fossil fuels were not sustainable, and in 1900 he wrote about harnessing energy from natural sources (e.g. sun, wind, water and terrestrial heat), which he saw as a clear direction for future material development.
  
  Just around the corner, you can visit the Nikola Tesla Museum and experience some of his most important inventions first-hand. This is where many of his personal belongings and the urn with his remains are displayed.

  Boston Ivy or Japanese Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) is a common ornamental plant in Europe, that originates from eastern Asia. In autumn, its leaves spectacularly change colors as green pigments (chlorophylls) in them degrade, and yellow-red ones (carotenoids) become visible.
  
  Scientific species names are usually derived from Latin or Greek and often have descriptive purpose. In this case "tri-cuspidata" refers to the three-pointed leaves.

Prema tekućim procenama, na svetu danas postoji oko pola miliona biljnih vrsta, od kojih je tek polovina otkrivena i opisana. Jedina taksonomska grupa koja se smatra raznovrsnijom od biljaka su gljive (očekivanih 1.5-5 miliona vrsta) i tvrdokrilne bube (1.5 miliona vrsta).

Ovakva ogromna raznolikost biljnog života rezultat je adaptivnih promena koje su individuama omogućile da se prilagode na raznorazne uslove životne sredine. Biljke ne mogu jednostavno da odšetaju, zato su razvile strategije prilagođavanja na različite tipove zemljišta, načine oprašivanja, dužinu dana, temperaturu, vlažnost, nadmorsku visinu itd. Sve divlje biljke su deo prirode, u kojoj obavljaju važne funkcije, o kojima zavisi, između ostalog, i opstanak čoveka.

  Spring in the Air / Proleće u vazduhu

  🇬🇧 Botanical Garden Berlin, Germany.
  
  Sometimes, the most beautiful sights are right above us, so remember to look up once in a while. I especially enjoy the sight of tree canopies from below, no matter the season. Stay tuned for more sights from the series “looking up”.

  Hello There! / Hej, ti tamo!

  🇬🇧 Bali, Indonesia.
  
  Pink-flowered Indian lotus, also known as the “rose of India”, is a sacred flower in Hinduism and Buddhism and commonly used in Asian cuisine. Together with American yellow-flowered lotus, it is one of only two living species of lotus in the world. As rarely any other species in the plant world, lotus flowers can generate heat – probably with the purpose of attracting pollinators.
  You can immediately distinguish lotus from water lilies, by the fact flowers and leaves of lotuses are emergent above the water.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Hej, ti tamo!
  Bali, Indonezija.
  
  Indijski lotos (ili lotus) roze cvetova, poznat i kao “indijska ruža”, smatra se svetim u hinduizmu i budizmu i često se koristi u azijskom kulinarstvu. Pored američkog lotusa čiji su cvetovi žuti, jedan je od dve živuće vrste lotusa na svetu. Jedinstveno kod njegovih cvetova je što mogu da proizvode toplotu kako bi privukli oprašivače, što je svojstvo poznato kod samo malog broja biljaka.
  Lotos možete odmah razlikovati od lokvanja po tome što im cvetovi i listovi rastu iznad vode.

  Hawaii Island, also known as the “Big Island”, is one of the most exciting places I’ve ever seen! Intriguing patterns of solidified lava flows, shimmering-black from basalt, stretch as far as the eye can see, sprinkled with flora fighting for its place under the sun.
  
  The Big Island is the biggest and geologically the youngest in the chain of Hawaiian Islands and it's the only one to still ascend from the ocean floor. Of 5 volcanoes that build the island, 2 are still active – here, eruptions have actually been common in the last 30 years.

  Nacionalni park Kilauea. Veliko havajsko ostrvo, Havaji.
  
  Ostrvo Havaji, popularno zvano „Veliko ostrvo“ jedno je od najuzbudljivijih mesta koje sam imala sreću da posetim! Intrigantni tokovi očvrsle lave, crne kao ugalj i svetlucave od bazalta, protežu se dokle god oko seže, tu i tamo prošarani florom koja se bori za svoje mesto pod suncem.
  
  Veliko ostrvo najveće je i geološki najmlađe u nizu Havajskih ostrva i jedino koje se još uvek izdiže iz mora. Od 5 vulkana koji ga čine, 2 još uvek aktivna - erupcije su ovde zapravo česta pojava u poslednjih 30tak godina.

  Conifers were among the first plants that evolved polen and seeds, 300 million years ago, which allowed them to be less dependent on water. They were the main food of plant-eating dinosaurs in Mesosoic, a geological era also known as "Age of Conifers" and "Age of Reptiles".

  Line Up

  Some plants embraced meat-eating (carnivorous) lifestyles. This allows them to survive in nutrient-poor soils, as they compensate for the lack of nitrogen in soil by catching and ingesting insect prey.
  
  Interestingly, it is thought that plants in different groups independently evolved various carnivorous adaptations, even nine times in the evolutionary history.

Šume su kuća gotovo polovini do sada opisanih vrsta biljaka, životinja i mikroorganizama.

Pod šumskom steljom, korenje drveća je usko povezano sa mrežamastim telom gljiva, koje im pomažu bolje upijanje vode i hranjivih materija iz zemljišta. Podzemne mreže gljiva ujedno omogućavaju drveću da se na neverovatan način međusobno poveže i komunicira.

  My absolute favorite in the series “looking up” is this common (European) beech in the forest surrounding Lake Lamar in the northern Italy.

  Moj apsolutni favorit u seriji “pogled uvis” je ova bukva u šumi koja okružuje jezero Lamar u severnoj Italiji. Toliko volim ove krive grane koje se šire na sve strane, da sam od ove slike napravila veliko platno za iznad kreveta i sada sanjam pod njegovom krošnjom.

Oko 80 % slatke vode na Zemlji poreklom je iz planina, odakle tokovi nizbrdo formiraju potoke i reke.

Planine su veoma bogate biodiverzitetom i naseljavaju ih vrste koje su jedinstvene za određena područja. U ekološkom smislu planine su kao izolovana ostrva u pejzažu, međusobno razdvojena nizijama, čiji drastično drugačiji ekološki uslovi ne dopuštaju planinskim vrstama da se prošire.

  Living Rocks / Stene koje žive

  🇬🇧 Brenta Dolomites. Trentino Province, Italy
  
  The elevation where trees in the mountains no longer grow is called the tree line. Here, life has to be adapted to harsh conditions, such as low temperatures, high UV radiation and shortage of water. Here lichens - dual organisms of fungi and algae – add marvelous colors. They may seem dead, but yet they´re anything but: low-demanding and slow-growing, lichens can live for thousands of years, even in some or the most extreme environments - from the highest peaks and arctic tundras, to hot dry deserts.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Stene koje žive.
  Brenta Dolomiti. Provincija Trentino, Italija
  
  Nadmorska visina iznad koje drveće na planinama više ne raste zove se gornja šumska granica. U planinskim vrhovima, život je prilagođen surovim uslovima: niskim temperaturama, jakom UV zračenju i nedostatku vode. Ovde lišajevi –organizmi dvostruke prirode, sačinjeni od gljive i od alge – unose živopisne boje. Lišajevi možda deluju mrtvo, ali to svakako nisu - skromnih prohteva, sporo rastu ali zato mogu živeti hiljadama godina, i to u nekim od najesktremnijih uslova – od najviših vrhova i arktičkih tundri, do vrelih pustinja.

Boje koje vidimo potiču od svetlosti vidljivog spektra, odnosno uskog opsega talasnih dužina unutar elektromagnetnog zračenja sunca. Iza predivnih boja neba koje se prikazuju u zoru i sumrak, na delu su magični fizički procesi rasipanja i prelamanja svetlosti, a oblaci često doprinose dramatizaciji scene.

Okeani prekrivaju skoro dve trećine površine naše planete i u njima je sadržano preko 96 % vode na Zemlji. Ovo je gde je život nastao, gde se evolucijom razvijao tokom 3.5 milijardi godina, i gde se, na najneverovatnijim mestima čiji uslovi više podsećaju na neke vanzemaljske, mogu naći neka od najčudnijih živih bića poznatih nauci.

  Dreamy Sunset / Pospani zalazak

  🇬🇧 Laniakea Beach. O'ahu, Hawaii. North Pacific Ocean
  
  Growing up, I always wanted to be a scientist – not only because I’m curious, but also because scientists get to travel throughout the world, visiting conferences 😄 this part of my dream came true when I attended @asloorg conference in Hawaii – magical islands, I never even dared to dream of visiting.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Pospani zalazak.
  Plaža Laniakea. Ostrvo O'ahu, Havaji. Severni Pacifik.
  
  Kao mala, želela sam da budem naučnik kad porastem – ne samo zbog moje radoznale prirode, već i zato što naučnici putuju svetom, posećujući razne konferencije 😀 ovaj deo sna mi se ostvario odlaskom na konferenciju Američkog udruženja za limnologiju i okeanografiju (ASLO) na Havaje – magična ostrva, koja se nisam ni usudila da sanjam da ću ikada posetiti.

  Upward Roots / Izvrnuto korenje

  🇬🇧 Kuta Beach. Lombok, Indonesia. Indian Ocean
  
  Mangroves grow in tropical and subtropical tidal regions. Oxygen supply is problematic for submerged roots, so mangrove trees developed specialized, aerial roots that grow upwards and take up air.
  Mangroves are natural buffers against strong winds, storms and tsunamis, but many are being cleared out throughout the world, often to make space for shrimp and other aquaculture farms.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Izvrnuto korenje
  Plaža u Kuti. Ostrvo Lombok, Indonezija. Indijski okean.
  
  Mangrove rastu u obalskim područjima tropskih i suptropskih mora, koja često plave. Tada je korenju otežano snabdevanje kiseonikom, stoga je drveće mangrova razvilo specijalizovane, vazdušne korenove koji rastu uvis i pomažu provetravanje biljke.
  Mangrove su prirodni amortizer protiv udara vetra, oluja i cunamija, ali mnoge se uništavaju širom sveta, često da bi se napravilo mesta farmama za gajenje škampa i druge vrste akvakulture.

  Tačka Teno, Tenerife. Kanarska ostrva. Atlantski okean
  
  Punta de Teno je najzapadnija tačka Tenerifa, najvećeg među Kanarskim ostrvima. Strme vulkanske litice koje se pružaju duž ovog dela obale nastale su kada su tokovi usijane lave stigli do Atlantskog okeana, i tu se gotovo u momentu stvrdnuli.

  Coral Home / Kuća od korala

  🇬🇧 Hanauma Bay. O'ahu, Hawaii. North Pacific Ocean.
  
  Coral reefs are in water what rainforests are on land – the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Reef in Hanauma Bay on Hawaiian island Oahu is home to 400 species of fish and even more crabs, mussels, sea slugs, octopus, see turtles, plants, algae & more – it’s one of the most colorful sites one can see under water.
  
  Rising sea temperatures due to climate change are a huge threat to coral reefs worldwide, leading to coral bleaching. It happens when coral polyps let out algae - which normally live within them, symbiotically, providing corals with food – and then subsequently starve. During the last global coral bleaching event in 2014-2017, almost half of the bay’s corals suffered from bleaching and 10% died.
  
  The bay has been Marine Protected Area since 1967 and it's seen by 3000 visitors daily.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Kuća od korala.
  Hanauma zaliv. Ostrvo Oahu, Havaji. Severni Pacifik.
  
  Ono što su kišne šume na kopnu, to su koralni grebeni u vodi – najraznovrsniji ekosistemi koji postoje na Zemlji. Greben u Hanauma zalivu, na havajskom ostrvu Oaho, nastanjuju 400 vrsta riba i brojne morske kornjače, i još više hobotnica, krabi, školjki, pužića i algi – to je jedan od najšarenijih prizora koje možete da viditi pod vodom.
  
  Velika pretnja koralnim grebenima širom sveta je porast temperature vode usled globalnog zagrevanja, koje dovodi do izbeljivanja korala. U ovom procesu polipi korala izbacuju iz sebe ćelije algi - koje tu žive u simbiozi, obezbeđujući koralu hranjive materije – a zatim umiru od gladi. U poslednjem globalnom talasu izbeljivanja korala, 2014-17 godine, skoro polovina korala u zalivu pretrpela je izbeljivanje, a oko 10% je umrlo.
  
  Čitav zaliv je rezervat pod zaštitom od 1967. godine, a dnevno ga obiđe oko 3000 posetilaca.

  🇬🇧 Pantai Tanjung Aan. Lombok, Indonesia. Indian Ocean.
  
  I’ve always been a passionate traveler, but growing up in post-war Serbia in the 90ties and pursuing a career in biology, I never thought I could afford to travel long-distance. Moving abroad has changed this. My dream was to see Indonesia, and this was the first country I visited outside of Europe.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Nakrivljeni hlad.
  Plaža Pantai Tanjung Aan. Ostrvo Lombok, Indonezija. Indijski okean.
  
  Oduvek sam bila strastveni putnik, ali odrastajući u posleratnoj Srbiji tokom 90tih i odabravši da se bavim biologijom, nisam mislila da ću ikada moći da priuštim daleka putovanja. To se promenilo odlaskom u inostranstvo. Indonezija je oduvek bila moj san, stoga je to bila i prva zemlja koju sam posetila van Evrope.

  In May, the tourist season hasn’t yet begun at the Adriatic coast and everything is blissfully calm as the night wraps around a sleepy village on Lastovo Island in Croatia, and shadows begin to dance on the calm surface of the bay water.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Plutajuće senke.
  Pasadur. Ostrvo Lastovo, Hrvatska. Jadransko more.
  
  U maju, turistička sezona na Jadranu još nije počela i sve je blaženo mirno dok se noć nadvija nad pospanim gradićem na ostrvu Lastovo u Dalmaciji, a senke započinju svoju igru na mirnoj površini zaliivske vode.

Slatke vode – jezera, reke, potoci i močvare – pokrivaju manje od 1 % kopnene površine na Zemlji, ali su zato izuzetno bogate biodiverzitetom. Naseljava ih čak 6 % od ukupnog broja poznatih vrsta na svetu.

  Snowy White / Snežno bela

  🇬🇧 Aare Gorge. Switzerland
  
  Glacial melt and erosion of rocks beneath them often bring a lot of tiny particles which turn water into „glacial milk“, making it look white, like here in the Aare River in Switzerland. This 50 m high gorge was carved in limestone by meltwater 10 thousand years ago, as the last Ice Age was coming to an end. The gorge has been open for visitors since 1888.

  🇷🇸 Snežno bela.
  Kanjon reke Aare, Švajcarska
  
  Otapanje lednika i erozija stena ispod njih često stvaraju sićušne čestice koje boje vodu u belo, pretvarajući je u tzv. „ledničko mleko“, kao ovde u reci Ari u Švajcarskoj. Kanjon, visok 50 metara, usekla je u krečnjačkoj steni voda nastala otapanjem lednika pre 10 hiljada godina, na kraju poslednjeg ledenog doba. Kanjon je otvoren za posete 1888. godine.

  Running Low / Spust

  🇬🇧 Savica Waterfall. Slovenia
  
  Waterfall Savica in northwest Slovenia belongs to headwaters of the Sava River. With its 990 km, Sava is one of the longest rivers in Europe. There are 18 hydropower plants in its basin - and ongoing hydropower boom is predicted to add 2.500 more to the region. With little added benefit, this would be detrimental for nature, biodiversity and local communities, many of which are persistently fighting to protect their rivers.

  🇷🇸 Spust.
  Vodopad Savica, Slovenija.
  
  Savica vodopad u severozapadnoj Sloveniji deo je gornjeg toka reke Save. Duga 990 km, Sava je jedna od najdužih reka Evrope. U njenom slivu već se nalazi 18 hidroelektrana, a predviđeno je da će hidroenergetski “bum” koji je započeo u regionu tome dodati još preko 2.500 novih. Ovo bi donelo malo koristi, ali neprocenjivu štetu prirodi, biodiverzitetu i lokalnim zajenicama, od kojih mnoge vode vode upornu borbu kako bi sačuvale svoje reke.

  Blue Alpine Pearl / Plavi alpski biser

  🇬🇧 Lake Nambrone, 2380m. Trentino Provence, Italy
  
  High alpine lakes, like the Lake Nambrone (2.380m) in Italian Dolomites, are typically very clear. Low temperatures and nutrients (nitrates and phosphates) limit the growth of algae, resulting in extremely clear water and deep penetration of sunlight.
  Water molecules intercept and scatter light, the more the shorter the wavelength is – and that’s how the scatter of short-wavelength blue light, in combination with clear, blue sky, colors this water magnificently blue.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Plavi alpski biser.
  Jezero Nambrone, 2380m nadmorske visine. Provincija Trentino, Italija
  
  Visokoplaninska jezera su tipično veoma bistra. Niske temperature i malo hranjivih materija (nitrata i fostafa) ograničavaju rast algi, tako da je voda izuzetno bistra i kroz nju duboko prodire sunčeva svetlost.
  U kontaktu sa molekulima vode, svetlost se rasipa – to više, što je kraća talasna dužina. Tako rasipanje kratkotalasne, plave svetlosti, u kombinaciji sa vedrim, plavim nebom, stvara ovu veličanstvenu plavu boju.

  Still Symmetry

  Lake Tovel, 1178m. Trentino Province, Italy
  
  Lake Tovel became famous for a "red water phenomenon" that was occurring during the summer until mid '60s. During these events, the water would turn red due to the high density of a microscopic alga Tovellia sanguinea. These "blooming events", when density of algae would increase several-fold than usual, were linked to increased nutrient loads caused by changes in land use and livestock management practices in the surroundings.

  Stop the Time

  Lake Lamar, 714m. Trentino Provence, Italy
  
  Green water color in lakes is usually associated with high concentration of algae, but in this nutrient-poor (oligotrophic), clear-water lake, the unique blue-green color is a result of the water chemistry, limestone geology and a reflection of the surrounding forest.

  Deep Green

  Lake Tovel, 1178m. Trentino Provence, Italy
  
  Environmental and biological data at lake Tovel are being collected over the last decades (a project managed by FEM Hydrobiology group), and the lake is now integrated into long-term monitoring programs, such as LTER, ILTER and GLEON. Long-term data allow researchers to understand the lake dynamics and predict responses related to changes in global environments.

  Lake Ritort, 2071m. Trentino Provence, Italy
  
  Clear, blue water is characteristic for oligotrophic lakes where algal growth in water is limited by low amount of available nutrients (nitrates and phosphates). Blue color relates to the pristine characters or these lake ecosystems, and a low human impact in the surrounding watershed.

  Flying High / Let u visine

  🇬🇧 Lake Molveno, 864 m, Trentino Provence, Italy
  
  As a child, I often dreamed of flying. I would “swim” through the air in dreams full of adventures that would quickly fade away when I wake up, but a strong feeling of excitement and freedom would remain. Paragliding is probably the closest to fulfilling this dream, and it’s still at the top of my to do list. Especially with a gorgeous view like this, overlooking the lake Molveno and the Dolomites.
  --------------------
  
  🇷🇸 Let u visine.
  Jezero Molveno, 864 m nadmorske visine. Provincija Trentino, Italija
  
  Kao dete, često sam sanjala da letim. “Plivala” bih kroz vazduh u snovima koji su bili puni avantura koje bih brzo zaboravila kad se probudim, ali ostalo bi jako osećanje uzbuđenja i slobode. Paraglajding bi možda bio najbliže ostvarenju tog sna, i još uvek je na vrhu moje liste želja. Naročito sa ovako božanstvenim pogledom na jezero Molveno i Dolomite.

  Even though lake Tovel finds itself at a moderate altitude, it acts as a high-alpine lake. The water is very cold and clear with visibility almost to its bottom at 40m. As a typical clear-water alpine lake, it is characterized by a low amount of nutrients, but a high biodiversity of microscopic plankton.

  Dammed Power

  Pivsko jezero (Piva Lake), created by Hydropower Dam Mratinje on Piva River. Montenegro
  
  Hydropower is neither "green" nor carbon-neutral energy source. The reservoirs created by dams emit large amounts of methane that strongly contribute to climate change. Furthermore, river damming harms wildlife and surrounding communities.
  
  According to 2017 report by RiverWatch there are currently 700 dams operating at the Balkan peninsula. In addition, a tremendous amount of 2600 (mostly small) dams is planned to be constructed in the region in the upcoming years, many to be located in protected areas. This threatens biodiversity of Europe's last free-flowing, pristine and rich rivers, "the blue heart of Europe", such as Vjosa River in Albania. Read more about the ecological status, threats and financing of these projects here, and if you have a moment to sign a petition to prevent it from happening you can do so here.
  
  The booming hydropower is not specific to Balkans, it is happening globally.
