Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Ecological community data are used to infer levels of environmental stressors; for example, epiphytic lichen communities can be used to estimate levels of air pollutants. If stressors are so severe that the community of interest disappears altogether, then “empty” plots are recorded.

Bioindicators in radiation protection [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008 Biodosimetry is the evaluation of absorbed dose using bioindicators. Among chromosomal aberrations, scoring of dicentrics from peripheral human blood has been used as gold standard for biodosimetry, although in case of large scale incidents its use presents some drawbacks. Advances in technology have led to new investigations allowing or permitting the

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2025.The collapse of the Fundão dam caused long‐term alterations in the microbiome of lakes in the Doce River basin, with microbial communities closely associated with heavy metals originating from the mining tailings. The findings also highlight potential microbial groups for biomonitoring and bioremediation efforts.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 14, Page 4997-5009, 30 August 2025.ABSTRACT Urban grasslands (UGs) are among the most abundant type of green infrastructure in cities worldwide. They deliver a range of ecosystem services and perform numerous ecosystem functions. To ensure the multifunctionality of UGs, enhancing their biodiversity is crucial; however, owing to urbanisation effects and inappropriate management, UGs ...

Re‐envisioning urban landscapes: lichens, liverworts, and mosses coexist spontaneously with us
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 6, August 2025.Current conceptions of “urban biodiversity” address only particular taxa, ignoring the full richness of species within cities. Despite their exclusion from these conceptions, tree‐dwelling lichens, mosses, and liverworts (collectively, “epiphytes”) are recognized as bioindicators of urbanization, but their inherent contributions to biodiversity are ...
