The toxic metal stress in two mosses of different growth forms under axenic and controlled conditions
D Jelena Stankovic,Sladjana Jankovic,Ingeborg Lang,Milorad Vujičić,S Marko Sabovljevic,D Aneta Sabovljevic +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, two different growth forms of Bryophytes, acrocarpous Atrichum undulatum and pleurocarpous Hypnum cupressiforme, were evaluated in vitro under axenic in vitro fully controlled laboratory conditions, and the results showed that reactions to stress are both species and metal-specific.

Moss bags as biomonitors of heavy metal deposition in Navarra, Spain
TL;DR: In this paper, the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, Fe and Mn was biomonitored by placing moss bags (Sphagnum sp.) in different sampling locations throughout Navarra (Spain).

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.

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.
