Bryophytes and heavy metals: a literature review
TLDR
The literature on heavy metals in bryophytes is reviewed, including mechanisms of metal uptake, retention, toxicity and tolerance and interspecies differences in particular are discussed, including the development of extreme tolerance encountered in certain taxa.About:

Application of the normalization process in the survey of atmospheric deposition of heavy metals in Albania through moss biomonitoring
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a carpet-forming moss species (Hypnum cupressiforme ) as a bioindicator to evaluate the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals, using the normalization process using lithium as a normalizing element.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palladio, an index of trace element alteration for the River Bacchiglione based on Rhynchostegium riparioides moss bags.
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration of Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, V and Zn was measured in the aquatic bryophyte Rhynchostegium riparioides after a 4-week transplantation at 83 stations in seven main watercourses and three smaller tributaries of the basin of the River Bacchiglione (NE Italy).
Journal ArticleDOI
β-N-Methylamino-L-alanine exposure alters defense against oxidative stress in aquatic plants Lomariopsis lineata, Fontinalis antipyretica, Riccia fluitans and Taxiphyllum barbieri.
TL;DR: Four different aquatic plants were tested for their capacity to absorb the neurotoxin β-N-Methylamino-L-alanine from water and thus their possible applicability in a "Green Liver System", and Bryophytes turned out to be most effective in cleaning the water from this cyanobacterial toxin.

Relevance of canopy drip for the accumulation of nitrogen in moss used as biomonitors for atmospheric nitrogen deposition in Europe
Michaela Meyer,Winfried Schröder,Stefan Nickel,Sébastien Leblond,Antti-Jussi Lindroos,Karsten Mohr,Jarmo Poikolainen,Jesús Miguel Santamaría,Mitja Skudnik,Lotti Thöni,Burkhard Beudert,Helga Dieffenbach-Fries,Hubert Schulte-Bisping,Harald G. Zechmeister +13 more
TL;DR: Explaining more than 70% of the variance, the multivariate analyses confirmed that the sampling site category (site with/without canopy drip) showed the strongest correlation with the N content in moss.

Geogenic and Anthropogenic Moss Responsiveness to Element Distribution Around a Pb–Zn Mine, Toranica, Republic of Macedonia
TL;DR: Moss species used as suitable sampling media for biomonitoring the origin of heavy-metal pollution in the lead–zinc (Pb–Zn) mine “Toranica” near the Kriva Palanka town, Eastern Macedonia characterized the presence of the oldest geological volcanic rocks.

Journal ArticleDOI
Ion Exchange in Sphagnum and its Relation to Bog Ecology
TL;DR: The kinetics of cation exchange are consistent with a heterogeneous exchange phase containing regions of high charge density and regions with lower charge density, and at equilibrium the proportions of different cations in the exchange phase are largely explicable by a Donnan distribution.

Plants and soils as indicators of metals in the air
Gordon T. Goodman,T. M. Roberts +1 more
TL;DR: Metal concentrations downwind of the Swansea urban-industrial complex are found to be significantly greater than the normal background.

Sorption and retention of heavy metals in the woodland moss Hylocomium splendens (Hebw.) Br. et Sch.
Åke Rühling,Germund Tyler +1 more
TL;DR: The capacity of Hylocomium splendens to sorb heavy metal ions from dilute solutions was studied in this article, and the sorption and retention generally followed the order: Cu, Pb > Ni > Co > Zn, Mn.

Heavy metal deposition in Scandinavia
Åke Rühling,Germund Tyler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, maps showing the regional differences in the atmospheric deposition of Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Fe have been prepared for Finland, Norway and Sweden from data obtained by means of moss analysis, a method previously shown to be a sensitive and reliable tool in measuring heavy metal deposition.
