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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal patterns of metal deposition at various scales in Austria during the last two decades
Harald G. Zechmeister,Daniela Hohenwallner,Andrea Hanus-Illnar,Harald Hagendorfer,Ingrid Roder,Alarich Riss +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three consecutive sampling periods in 1995, 2000 and 2005 were performed, and five moss species at 220 sampling sites (2.5 sites 1000 km−2) were analysed for Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Mo, Pb, V, and Zn.

Multivariate association of regional factors with heavy metal concentrations in moss and natural surface soil sampled across Norway between 1990 and 2010
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated statistical relationships between heavy metal concentrations in samples of moss and natural surface soil, collected in spatial dense networks covering Norway, and regional factors, such as land use within a 5-km radius and population density around the sampling sites were identified as further predictors of HM concentrations in moss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moss bags as indicators of trace element contamination in Pre-alpine streams
TL;DR: In this article, the bioaccumulation of trace elements in Pre-alpine Dolomitic streams, where this species does not grow naturally, and where analyses of water samples have never revealed trace element pollution.
Recycling of wood- and peat-ash - a successful way to establish full plant cover and dense birch stand on a cut-away peatland
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of wood and peat-ash application on the early establishment of ground vegetation and downy birch (Betula pubescens) seedlings and on post-fertilization element concentrations in plants and the peat substrate were studied in a cut-away peatland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate extraction of dominant geochemical markers for deposition of 69 elements in the Bregalnica River basin, Republic of Macedonia (moss biomonitoring)
TL;DR: The investigatedmospheric deposition was investigated using the terrestrial moss species Hypnum cupressiforme and Homolothecium lutescens in the Bregalnica River basin, Republic of Macedonia, and the influences of selected human activities on local air pollution can be determined.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
