▪ Abstract A huge road network with vehicles ramifies across the land, representing a
surprising frontier of ecology. Species-rich roadsides are conduits for few species. Roadkills …

An increase in quarrying, open-cast mining and road traffic suggest that dust deposition onto
vegetation may be increasing. This review describes the physical and chemical characters …

Humans have spread an enormous net over the land. As the largest human artifact on earth,
this vast, nearly five million mile (8 million km) road network used by a quarter billion …

1. The effects of increased nitrogen or phosphorus supply on the productivity of Sphagnum-
dominated ombrotrophic bogs in northern and southern Sweden were studied. Atmospheric …

The contribution of roads to forest fragmentation has not been adequately analyzed. We
quantified fragmentation due to roads in a 30,213‐ha section of the Medicine Bow‐Routt …

Terrestrial mosses have been used for more than 50 years to monitor air pollution. We
argue, however, that their value as biomonitors is based on two widespread but partially …

Aluminum (Al) is the third most common mineral and the most common metal in Earth's crust,
accounting for approximately 8.1% of the crust by weight. Thus, it cannot be considered a …

Currently, the most important guideline for the application of the moss technique to monitor
the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals is the “Heavy metals, nitrogen and POPs in …
