Fungi as environmental bioindicators

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Environmental bioindicators are species or communities of animals, plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, and planktons whose existence, quantity, and nature can be used to make inferences on the quality of the environment. Bioindicators can be used to detect environmental contaminants by on-site visual inspections or through laboratory analysis ...

Optimizing the bioindication of forest soil acidity, nitrogen and mineral nutrition using plant species

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2016
Soil moisture and nutritional characteristics are frequently assessed using plant species and community bioindication, e.g., the Ellenberg system of species indicator values.

Bioindication: The I.A.P. Approach

2002
The symbiosis between algae and fungi enables lichens to colonise various apparently hostile places, like high mountains and deserts. However, the sensitive balance between the symbiotic partners can be easily disturbed, as lichens are generally sensitive to environmental alteration such as changes in air humidity (forestry, urbanisation) and air ...

Ornamental plants as sinks and bioindicators

Environmental Technology, 2013
Mitigation of urban air pollution is a big challenge, especially for the metropolitan cities of the world. In an Indian metropolis like Delhi, even after the implementation of several control policies, no such remarkable change has been observed in its air quality.

Bioindicators of enhanced nitrogen deposition

Environmental Pollution, 2003
Increased deposition of atmospheric N largely from intensive agriculture is affecting biodiversity and the composition of natural and semi-natural vegetation in Europe. The value of species based bioindicators such as the Ellenberg N index and measurements of total tissue N and free amino acids in key plant species, is described with reference to a ...

Bioindicators of Pesticide Contaminations

2020
Reducing the economic losses caused by pests, and for improving crop yields, use of pesticides in agriculture is imperative. The continuous use of pesticides in the environment is of great concern as some of them are highly persistant and causes harmful impact on non-target organisms.

Dragonflies (Odonata) as bioindicators of radioactivity

Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies
Bioindicators are living organisms that are successfully used for monitoring changes in the environmental health due to natural and/or anthropogenic influences. Dragonflies (Odonata) are considered to be good indicators of water quality; however, research on dragonflies as potential indicators of radioactivity is scarce.
