Popis: Turkey oak (Quercus cerris) is a tree naturally grown in southern Europe and Asia Minor, often planted as an ornamental tree. The leaves, bark and wood are used commercially as a source of tannins. It has not investigated too thoroughly as other oak species. In our research, Turkey oak wood from Kuršumlija (Serbia) was characterized. The cellular structure of wood was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while elemental analysis was done using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The results were compared with those of sessile oak (Quercus sessiliflora) wood from the same locality. The most abundant metal in Turkey oak wood was zinc, which was present in sessile oak wood only in traces. The content of calcium, potassium and selenium was high in both wood species. On the other hand, Turkey oak wood contains significantly lower levels of lead and nickel than sessile oak wood.
