Trees as Bioindicators of Environmental Pollution and Its Impact on Wood Chemical Composition
Trees provide one of the most versatile biomass resources for many applications, namely wood. The chemical composition of wood determines its properties, being of real significance for its further capitalization, and depending on many factors. In nature,

The health of an ecosystem can be examined through the use of bioindicators (BI), while the health of a human being can be determined using some molecules such as biomarkers (BM). BI are complete organisms or part of them that can be measured to detect changes in the environment, the presence of pollution and its effect on the ecosystem, as well as the

Use of Microbial Biofilms to Assess Groundwater Quality in Karstic Ecosystems
Analyses of prokaryotic diversity and community structures of biofilms showed variations linked to the nutrient and organic matter conditions in the studied karstic stations. Biofilms developed on artificial substrates appeared as promising indicators to assess groundwater quality in karst.
