Determination of the chemical composition of vegetal matrices in the environmental and
industrial fields has been increasing in the past few years. For analysis of vegetal …

A growing body of evidence indicates that in some cases morphology-based species
circumscription of lichenized fungi misrepresents the number of existing species. The …

Although sulfur dioxide concentration decreased in recent years caused by the
discouragement of fossil fuel, pollutants in the atmosphere still forming a considerable threat …

Lichens and cryoconite (rounded or granular, brownish-black debris occurring in holes on
the glacier surface) from Ny-Ålesund were used for understanding the elemental deposition …

Nutrient analysis is used to estimate nutrient content of crop plants to manage fertilizer
application for sustained crop production. Direct solid analysis of agricultural and …

In the present study, in situ lichens (Flavoparmelia caperata) were used to assess the
deposition of atmospheric trace elements in the metropolitan area of Huancayo (Junín …

In the last three decades, considerable attention was paid to the inter-relations of lichens
and particulate matter. This chapter highlights the determinant factors of the entrapment of …

In biomonitoring, the knowledge of background element content (BEC) values is an
essential pre-requisite for the correct assessment of pollution levels. Here, we estimated the …

Biological materials play a significant role in the treatment of heavy metal-contaminated soil
and wastewater. In this study, the Pb 2+ biosorption potential of lichen Evernia prunastri …

Lichens have been widely used in biomonitoring studies. In this study, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn
concentrations in some foliose and fruticose lichens which are found in Samsun were …
