Fungi as environmental bioindicators
Science of The Total Environment, 2023Environmental 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 ...

Bioindication: The I.A.P. Approach
2002The 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 ...

Bioindicators of enhanced nitrogen deposition
Environmental Pollution, 2003Increased 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 ...

Industrial revolution, intensive agriculture and growing human population are causing extensive exploitation of natural ecosystem which leads to advanced destruction process of land ecosystem. As ecosystem more complex and their biological communities, it is not easy to directly assess the health of natural environments.

Mahseer: A Bioindicator Teleost
UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2023Mahseers, known as the king of rivers, are among the largest carp and a valuable group of freshwater fish in Asia. The word Mahseer has its origins in Bengal; the two root words, Maha, mean greatness and Seer, means mouth or head; literally, it means having a strong and large head. The range of these fish is across the entire Indian subcontinent. There

Bioindicators of Pesticide Contaminations
2020Reducing 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.

Bioindication: The Community Approach
2002Two main methods for estimating air pollution with lichens were developed at the end of the 1960s: the Index of Atmospheric Purity (LAP) by De Sloover and LeBlanc [24] and LeBlanc and De Sloover [73], and the qualitative scale for estimating SO2 pollution by Hawksworth and Rose [56].

Bioindicators of Degraded Soils
2018Bioindicators are used to identify and monitor soil quality. Degraded soils refers to various altered properties such as physically-poor soils, C- and nutrient-deficient soils, waterlogged soils, salt-affected soils, and soils polluted by heavy metals and pesticides.
