Various methods have been developed to monitor environmental quality, including
biomonitoring using lichen. In this paper, a total of 143 previous studies from the last decade …

This review presents compiled results of complex biomonitoring studies that have been
conducted in the Holy Cross Mountains, south-central part of Poland, since the 1990s. The …

Human activity as a result of civilization development contributes to creating new sources of
environmental pollution. Air pollution is one of the major problems because it affects the …

We show that the native moss Hypnum cupressiforme can be used as a biomonitor of
atmospheric microplastics (MPs). The moss was collected in seven semi-natural and rural …

This research examined the impact of heavy metals, including Cd, Pb, and Zn, on
chlorophyll content and lamina cell structure in Bryum coronatum. After exposure to varying …

Study air polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) capturing the spatial variability of their
concentrations is not economically feasible with conventional methods. In the present work …

In this study, ambient air and olive tree components (leaf and branch) were simultaneously
collected and analyzed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to investigate their …

The use of biological indicators of environmental quality is an alternative method of
monitoring ecosystem pollution. Various groups of contaminants, including organic ones …

In this work the potential of moving moss-bags, fixed to bicycles, to intercept particulate
matter (PM) and linked metal (loid) s was tested for the first time. Seven volunteers carried …

Biological soil crust (BSC) exists widely in many kinds of grassland, its effect on soil
mineralization in grazing systems has well been studied, but the impacts and threshold of …
