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:

The cell wall in plant cell response to trace metals: polysaccharide remodeling and its role in defense strategy
TL;DR: This review paper will present the most recent results, especially those that are concerned withpolysaccharide level, composition and distribution under trace metal stress, and describe in detail the polysaccharides responsible for metal binding and immobilization in different groups of plants (algae and higher plants).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomonitoring of trace element air pollution: principles, possibilities and perspectives.
TL;DR: The discussion points towards more explicit coupling of biomonitoring data to knowledge and databases on both emission registration, ecosystem performance and human health, which means that multidisciplinary programs should be set up, which accommodate expert inputs from biomoniting, emission control programs, analytical chemistry, ecology, and epidemiology.

Traffic exposure increases natural 15N and heavy metal concentrations in mosses
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of NOx emissions from traffic on moss tissue N was investigated and the results indicated that the two main atmospheric sources, NOx and NHx, have different δ15N signatures, the former tending to be positive and the latter negative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal biomonitoring with mosses: procedures for correcting for soil contamination.
TL;DR: A simple procedure for estimating more plausible background values that consists of subtracting the substratum contribution from raw concentrations of elements in mosses is reported.

Bryophytes and nutrient cycling
D. H. Brown,Jeffrey W. Bates +1 more
TL;DR: A summary is given of recent laboratory work on the internal redistribution of elements in Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus and of field experiments involving fertilizer addition to Pseudoscleropodium purum; their significance is assessed.

Retrospective Study (1944-1976) of Heavy Metals in the Epiphyte Pterogonium gracile Collected from One Phorophyte
I. Johnsen,L. Rasmussen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn were determined in epiphytic Pterogonium gracile (Hedw.) Sm. collected from 10 different years during the period 1944-1976 from the same phorophyte in a rural background area in Denmark.

Heavy metals in a feather moss, Pleurozium schreberi, and in soils in NW Ontario, Canada
R. J. K. Rinne,P. Barclay-Estrup +1 more
TL;DR: Concentrations of all metals except Mn in the moss increased with increasing tree cover, and decreased with increasing distance from Thunder Bay city, Canada.

Ecological tolerance and niche structure of Sphagnum along a pollution gradient near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
TL;DR: Concentrations of Cu and Ni were not significantly different between species occupying overlapping height and pH zonations, but there existed a significant relationship between metal accumulations in the capitula of Sphagnum russowii, Sphagnums magellanicum, and SphagnUM riparium and the partially humified peat below the living moss.
