Based on the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia initiative, the project "Urban Forest Soil Indicators as a tool for Climate-Smart Forestry – UrbanFoS" was presented in the Biznis.rs magazine. In this author text, project leader Dr. Milica Kašanin-Grubin, besides the general contribution of the project to the international scientific community and citizens, highlighted the importance and issues of urban forests, as well as the newly established climate simulation laboratory, which should serve as a basis for establishing a network of researchers with similar interests such as biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry, etc., even after the project's duration.
