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 ...

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 ...

Microplastics in four bivalve species and basis for using bivalves as bioindicators of microplastic pollution.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Microplastics in bivalves have caused widespread concern due to their potential health risk to humans. In this study, microplastics in the digestive systems of four locally cultured bivalve species (scallop Chlamys farreri, mussel Mytilus ...

Effects of heavy metals on microbial communities in sediments and establishment of bioindicators based on microbial taxa and function for environmental monitoring and management.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Heavy metals have always been a research hotspot due to their persistence, hazard and bioaccumulation. Microorganisms are highly sensitive to heavy metal pollution and play an important role in the material cycling and energy flow of the ecosystem.
