Heavy metals and sulphur in mosses from southern Spitsbergen
Concentrations of Cd, Pb. Ni, Cu. Zn and S were determined in 16 moss species collected from 9 localities in southern Spitsbergen (mostly within the Hornsund region). Two species, Sanionia uncinata and Hylocomium splendens, were objects of more thorough studies. In Sanionia uncinata the mean concent...
