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:

Assessment of human exposure to environmental heavy metals in soils and bryophytes of the central region of Portugal
Amelia Reis,Carla Patinha,Eduardo Ferreira da Silva,António Sousa,Rui Figueira,Cecília Sérgio,Vera Novais +6 more
TL;DR: The areas within the central region of Portugal with a higher vulnerability to metal contamination were identified and some metal associations and dissociations were identified.

Correction: Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the "copper moss" Mielichhoferia elongata reveals independent nad7 gene functionality loss.
D. V. Goryunov,Svetlana V. Goryunova,Oxana I. Kuznetsova,Maria D. Logacheva,Irina A. Milyutina,A. V. Fedorova,Michael S. Ignatov,A. V. Troitsky +7 more
TL;DR: This research highlights the need to understand more fully the role of “spatially aggregating information” in the response to infectious disease and how this information is processed by the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Railroad derived nitrogen and heavy metal pollution does not affect nitrogen fixation associated with mosses and lichens at a tundra site in Northern Sweden.
TL;DR: The results indicate that N2 fixing bacteria are either not inhibited by heavy metal deposition, or that they are protected within the moss carpet and lichen tissue.

Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) and Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for Trace Element Biomonitoring using Mosses
Sophie Ayrault,Laurence Galsomiès,GÉraldine Amblard,Maria Domenica Sciarretta,Patricia Bonhomme,A. Gaudry +5 more
TL;DR: Two analytical methods, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), were used for the trace element analysis of naturally growing mosses for a heavy metal biomonitoring survey as discussed by the authors.

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.
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.
