Forest fruit (strawberry (S1-S2), raspberry (R1-R2), and blackberry (B1-B2)) from different locations of the Pešter Plateau in the Republic of Serbia was selected for investigation. The range of microelements found in the analyzed forest berries was as follows: for Cu: S1 > R3 > S2 > R2 > B2 > B1 > R1; for Fe: R1 > S1 > S2 > R3 > R2 > B1 > B2; for Cr: S2 > S1 > R1 > R2 > R3 > B2 > B1; for Zn: R3 > R2 > S2 > R1 > B1 > S1 > B2; for Se: S1 > R1 > S2 > B1 > B2 > R2 > R3. The average results (concentration ± SD, µg g-1) of essential elements obtained for forest berries are given in Table 1. Table 1.
