Soil heavy metal contamination and acid deposition: experimental approach on two forest soils in Hunan, Southern China [PDF]
, 2005 In 1985, a tailing dam collapsed in Hunan province (southern China) leading to soil contamination by heavy metals from the tailings waste. Moreover, acid deposition becomes more and more serious in this area. In this context, two forest soils (a red soil

Lichens and Bromeliads as Bioindicators of Heavy Metal Deposition in Ecuador
Diversity, 2019 We evaluated heavy metal deposition in Parmotrema arnoldii and Tillandsia usneoides in response to air pollution in Loja city, Ecuador. We assessed heavy metal (cadmium, copper, manganese, lead and zinc) content in these organisms at nine study sites ...

Effect of heavy metal stress in plant metabolism of solanaceous plant species with emphasis on nitrogen assimilation [PDF]
, 2011 Several plant species are able to accumulate and withstand large quantities of heavy metals in their tissues without dramatic alterations in their growth usually observed in plants. Such metal accumulating plants are tested and used for remediation of

Heavy metal distribution in some French forest soils: evidence for atmospheric contamination [PDF]
, 2003 This study is one of very few dealing with the distribution and the origin of heavy metals in French soils from a priori non-polluted forest areas. The abundance of heavy metals measured in these soils decreases as follows: Cr) Zn)Pb)Ni)Cu)Co4Cd. Total

The importance of biomass net uptake for a trace metal budget in a forest stand in north-eastern France [PDF]
, 2010 The trace metal (TM: Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) budget (stocks and annual fluxes) was evaluated in a forest stand (silver fir, Abies alba Miller) in north-eastern France.

Canopy influence on trace metal atmospheric inputs on forest ecosystems: Speciation in throughfall [PDF]
, 2010 Trace Metal (TM: Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb and Zn) atmospheric inputs have been studied on six forested sites. In order to evaluate canopy interaction with atmospheric inputs, TM have been measured in both Open Field Precipitation (OFP) and Throughfall (TF ...

Heavy metal deposition on plants in relation to immission and bulk precipitation.
Silva Fennica, 1981 Monitoring of heavy metal accumulation in plants has been used to reflect the deposition of heavy metals in terrestrial ecosystems. In some cases, the accumulation rates in plants are linearly correlated to deposition measured as bulk precipitation ...
