Data Mining (DM) is a fundamental component of the Data Science process. Over recent
years a huge library of DM algorithms has been developed to tackle a variety of problems in …

Functional groups of epiphytic lichens are proposed as indicators of air quality in a
Mediterranean urban area in the south of Portugal. Local land use: traffic (for areas near …

Bioindicators are living organisms that react to environmental pollution with their life
functions. Lichens are reviewed for their potential to reflect air pollution. This chapter …

In this study a combined approach of bioindication results correlated with an extensive set of
data on air pollution and climate was used to assess the pollution status of the Man and …

In the present study epiphytic bryophytes were employed as a model system in an integrated
way both as bioindicators at species, population and community levels and as …

The aim of the present study was to compare the physiological characteristics of various
populations of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria in Portugal and Sweden. For this, indirect …

Epiphytic lichen and bryophyte Floristic Richness (FR) and distribution were investigated in
Lisbon and the adjacent southern riverbank, in the centre-west of Portugal within the Lisbon …

724 bryophyte taxa are listed for Portugal, based on a critical assessment of literature data.
Each distribution record, supported by the correspondent geographic unit (provinces) is …

In the area of Katowice city (S Poland) a significant increase in the number of sites of some
epiphytes (mainly from the genera Orthotrichum and Ulota) were recorded. The comparison …

Bryophytes seem particularly suitable to investigate genetic diversity in relation to habitat
disturbance due to their large employment as bioindicators and to the recent application of …
