Trace elements in Polytrichum commune and Polytrichastrum formosum from the Karkonosze Mountains (SW Poland).

摘要: Abstract The Karkonosze National Park, an unique mountainous biosphere reserve, is influenced by long-distance anthropogenic atmospheric transport of among others trace elements and additionally local tourist centres, which may be supplementary sources pollution. Discharged are non-degradable, their level must precisely monitored. Therefore, the concentrations As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb Zn in Polytrichum commune Polytrichastrum formosum collected from sites only long-range pollution vicinity centres were established. P. revealed ability to accumulate higher while growing locally contaminated comparison with free such both species utilised for bioindication Park. Elevated levels (except Hg) typical mosses unpolluted point existence this area. was a better bioindicator Pb than formosum, probably because larger gametophytes its morphology, appears prone increased uptake atmosphere.
