The value of the terricolous lichen Cetrariella delisei in the biomonitoring of heavy−metal levels in Svalbard
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify a suitable lichen species for the long−term monitoring of heavy−metal atmospheric pollution in Svalbard. Cladonia and Cetraria s.l. species that have been widely used until now for assessing heavy−metal deposition in the Arctic are in decline over exten...
