ABSTRACT A. ursinum is a wild growing species, which is often found on various localities throughout Serbia, primarily within forest and occasionally on meadow. Fresh picked leaves and bulbs are used for preparing a salad or meals. For this research we have collected and analyzed soil and plant material from 12 different locations in Serbia. The analyses of basic fertility of soils have shown that A. ursinum grows mainly on acidic and soils containing high percentage of humus, with high total nitrogen content, low to medium supplies in available phosphorus and high supplies in available potassium. In those soils there is a very strong correlation between the total N content and total organic C (0.931). There is a relatively wide range of concentrations of overall Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in soils on which A. ursinum grows. The translocation factor for A. ursinum is TF ≥1 has been calculated for Cd, Pb and Zn.
