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:

Modeling exposure to airborne metals using moss biomonitoring in cemeteries in two urban areas around Paris and Lyon in France.
Emeline Lequy,Caroline Meyer,Danielle Vienneau,Claudine Berr,Marcel Goldberg,Marie Zins,Sébastien Leblond,Kees de Hoogh,Bénédicte Jacquemin +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used both kriging with external drift and land use regression followed by residual Kriging when necessary to derive concentration maps (500 × 500 m) for each metal and region.
Reconstructing historical trends of PAH deposition in a remote area of Spain using moss material from a herbarium
TL;DR: Foan et al. as discussed by the authors reconstructed historical trends of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon deposition in a remote area of Spain using herbarium moss material using their own data.
Effects of alternate precipitation patterns on soil microbial communities in a california grassland
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the direct and indirect effects of climate change on the structure, composition and abundance of grassland soil microbial communities using 16S rRNA microarrays (Phylochip).
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment about bioindicator capacity of acrocarpous moss Campylopus schmidii exposed to abandoned pyritic tailings.
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the concentrations of different heavy metals in soil underlying acrocarpous moss Campylopus schmidii at three distances from an abandoned pyrite mine tailings (0.5, 1, 2 km).

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.

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.
