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:

“Special Issue”Development of the City Biodiversity Index
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the effect of different types of labels on the performance of a person's behavior. But none of the labels can be used for all of them.

Effect of Arsenic on Biochemicals and Antioxidant Enzymes in Two Species of Marchantia L. (Marchantiophyta): Role of enzymes in stress acclimatization
TL;DR: From this study it is evident that M. paleacea is more tolerant as compared to M. papillata subsp grossibarba even at a very high As concentration, while the two taxa of Marchantia seem to follow different strategy for As stress tolerance.

Determination of iron species, including biomineralized jarosite, in the iron-hyperaccumulator moss Scopelophila ligulata by Mössbauer, X-ray diffraction, and elemental analyses.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the biomineralization of jarosite occurs not only in the region-specific species but in species adapted to a low-pH and metal-contaminated environment in different regions, and provide a better understanding of the mechanism of Fe accumulation in the Fe-hyperaccumulator moss S. ligulata.

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.
