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:

Bryophyte C:N:P stoichiometry, biogeochemical niches and elementome plasticity driven by environment and coexistence.
Marcos Fernández-Martínez,Catherine Preece,Catherine Preece,Jordi Corbera,Oriol Cano,Joan Garcia-Porta,Jordi Sardans,Ivan A. Janssens,Francesc Sabater,Josep Peñuelas +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed C:N:P stoichiometries and elemental compositions (K, Na, Mg, Ca, S, Fe) of 35 widely distributed bryophyte species inhabiting springs.

Kinetic analysis of Cd uptake in Cd‐tolerant and intolerant populations of the moss Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus (Hedw.) Warnst and the lichen Peltigera membranacea (Ach.) Nyl.
TL;DR: Compared kinetic constants for intracellular Cd uptake in intolerant and Cd-tolerant plant material were due to the prevailing extra cellular ion content when collected from the field, which was related to altered chemical equilibria when plant material was incubated in Cd solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sequential elution technique applied to cryptogams: a literature review
TL;DR: The use of bryophytes and lichens as biomonitors of atmospheric contamination, particularly contamination by heavy metals, is a well-known and widely applied technique as mentioned in this paper.

Trend der Schwermetall-Bioakkumulation 1990 bis 2005: Qualitätssicherung bei Probenahme, Analytik, geostatistischer Auswertung
TL;DR: Dieser Artikel behandelt die Kartierung der zeitlichen Entwicklung der Metallanreicherung in Deutschland in Fünfjahresschritten seit 1990 sowie die räumliche Varianz der Metall-Bioakkumulation in Abhängigkeit von Eigenschaften der Probeentnahmestellen and ihrer Umgebung.

Metal accumulation in the acrocarp moss Atrichum undulatum under controlled conditions
Marko Sabovljevic,Marieluise Weidinger,Aneta Sabovljevic,Jelena Stankovic,Wolfram Adlassnig,Ingeborg Lang +5 more
TL;DR: A. undulatum can tolerate pollution of zinc and copper in a distinctive extent; the data point towards a higher zinc tolerance whereas copper is rather harmful, and semi-quantitatively, less zinc was detected within the moss tissue compared to copper.

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.
