Guidelines for the use of mosses and soils in monitoring contaminant fallout
In 1999 Italy’s Environmental Protection Agency (ANPA) published a paper on the methods to be used in the case of mosses and soils. After nearly a decade, a review is advisable. The attached Guidelines take account of numerous experiments in the environmental field and include a short description of bryophyte biology. A great many pollutants are present in our environment. In addition to ...

Innovative approach to contaminated soil phytoremediation: Heavy metal phytoextraction using energy crops
Heavy metal accumulation potential in the biomass and different plant parts of the selected species of energy crops cultivated on contaminated soil was evaluated. Phytoextraction potential, biomass yield and qualitative parameters of bioenergy plants grown on heavy metal contaminated soil has been measured. Finally heavy metal influence on biomass utilization possibilities, energy recovery and ...

Toxicity of fuel contaminated soil to antarctic moss and terrestrial algae
Fuel pollution is a significant problem in Antarctica, especially in areas where human activities occur, such as at scientific research stations. Despite this, there is little information on the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on Antarctic terrestrial biota. This paper demonstrates that the Antarctic mosses Bryum pseudotriquetrum, Schistidium antarctici, Ceratodon purpureus and the Antarctic ...
