Abstract: Study area is the unmanaged urban forest that belonged to the former Avala Film complex in Belgrade, which continues to the RTS studio in Košutnjak. The subject of the analysis was all trees with a breast diameter of ten centimeters or more. Out of the total number of 3906 analyzed trees, 2592 trees are woody species, whose individual parts (bark, leaves, fruits or seeds) can be used for medicinal or edible purposes. Black pine (Pinus nigra) is the dominant species, including 577 trees, whereas aspen (Populus tremula) is represented by one tree and common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) by two trees. The dominant deciduous species is Turkey oak (Quercus cerris), with 308 documented individuals, followed by Norway maple – Acer platanoides (304), Turkish hazel – Corylus colurna (279) and silver linden – Tilia tomentosa (251). Besides them, South European flowering ash – Fraxinus ornus (193), cherry – Prunus avium (190), common ash – Fraxinus excelsior (89), cherry plum – Prunus cerasifera (88) and large-leaved linden – Tilia platyphyllos (53) are significantly present. Other deciduous trees species are present with a number of individuals less than 50. This area contains a significant population of invasive species, totaling 550 documented individuals, which presents a possible threat to the suppression of native flora. About 11.9% of totally dry trees were documented, presenting a hazard to both forest users and healthy trees due to the risk of collapse or falling. The forest park area is floristically rich, and the terrain is accessible for harvesting plant parts that can be used for medicinal purposes or in nutrition. A detailed examination of all trees revealed numerous entomological damages and phytopathological diseases, which indicate lack of care and management, poor physiological condition of most trees and a very risky zone of passage for users. The park forest is contaminated with several mini landfills. The entire area analyzed represents a great danger for users and due to the contamination of the forest park, the use of fruits or other secondary forest products represents a potential danger for citizens. This must be clearly highlighted at the entrances to the forest complex.
