Mosses as biomonitors of atmospheric heavy metal deposition: Spatial patterns and temporal trends in Europe
Original language description
The spatial and temporal trends of heavy metal concentrations (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, V and Zn) obtained in the frame of European moss monitoring surveys in 28 European countries were evaluated. The lowest concentrations of the metals were found in the Baltic States and northern parts of the UK, while the highest concentrations were generally found in Belgium and south-eastern Europe. The mean metal distribution in moss was documented in maps using EMEP grid squares 50x50 km. Since 1990, the concentration of most of the investigated metals havs significantly decreased in all European countries. The highest declination was found for lead and vanadium (52-72%). The Czech Republic belongs to the group of countries with permanent decreaseof the metal concentrations in moss expect for Cr. However, for some countries a country-specific temporal trend in the concentration trends were found bio-indicating variable atmospheric deposition loads of the investigated metals.
