Surrogate approach to determine heavy metal loads in a moss species –
Biomonitoring using a moss species Barbula lambaranensis is an economical method for continuous assessment of atmospheric metal pollution. However, frequent measurement of common heavy metals such as Zn, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu and Ni in moss can be costly for monitoring large areas. Thus, the aim of the stu...
