Integrated biomonitoring of airborne pollutants over space and time using tree rings, bark, leaves and epiphytic lichens
2016
The integrated use of tree rings and outer tissues, and lichens, was tested for monitoring how pollutant concentrations vary in space and over time nearby an incinerator in industrial area in Central Italy. Trace elements in thalli of lichen Xanthoria parietina and in leaves, bark, wood of Quercus pubescens, as well as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen isotope ratios in tree rings were analyzed. Some trace elements in the leaves differed significantly between the plots, though this was not the case in lichens and bark. The values of δ13C and δ18O showed the same trend in all plots, while the values of δ15N were higher in the distal plot. The results indicated that trace elements were intercepted …
Morphological determination of the phototrophic community composition of biological soil crusts in coastal sand dunes in northern Germany
2022
This dataset comprises the microbial community composition of biological soil crusts in north-German sand dunes. For this we obtained enrichment cultures of phototrophic microorganisms, by placing fragments of biocrusts of the same Petri dishes as used for sequencing, in Petri dishes with Bold Basal (1N BBM) agarized medium (Bischoff and Bold 1963). Cultures were grown under standard laboratory conditions: with a 12-hour alteration of light and dark phases and irradiation of 25 μmol photons m-2 s-1 at a temperature 20 ± 5 ºС. Microscopic study of these raw cultures began in the third week of cultivation. Morphological examinations were performed using Olympus BX53 light microscope with Noma…
Lichens <i>(Xanthoria parietina)</i> - Bio-Indicators for Sulphur and Metallic Elements for Pollution Investigation in Riga City
2021
The aim of the research was to investigate the pollution level of sulphur and metallic elements in Riga city (Freeport of Riga, Kundziņsala, Mežaparks) by using foliose lichens (Xanthoriaparietina) as a bio-indicators. Obtained results show that the Freeport of Riga is the most polluted area comparing with other neatest places in Riga city, Kundziņsala and Mežaparks. Evaluate a washing effect, obtained results shows that lichen thallus contains about 50 % of total amount of sulphur and investigated elements as dust particles on the surface of lichens.
New Interpretative Scales for Lichen Bioaccumulation Data: The Italian Proposal
2019
The interpretation of lichen bioaccumulation data is of paramount importance in environmental forensics and decision-making processes. By implementing basic ideas underlying previous interpretative scales, new dimensionless, species-independent &ldquo
Sēra un metālisko elementu variācijas ķērpjos (Xanthoria parietina) dažādās Rīgas pilsētas vietās
2020
Darbā tika analizēti lapu ķērpji (Xanthoria parietina), nosakot sēra un metālisko elementu saturu. Paraugi tika ievākti dažādās Rīgas pilsētas vietās: Rīgas Brīvostas teritorijā, dzīvojamā rajonā “Sarkandaugava” un Mežaparkā. Veicot mazgāto un nemazgāto ķērpju mineralizāciju slēgtajā mikroviļņu enerģijas sistēmā, turbidimetriski sulfātjonu veidā, tika noteikts sērs, taču metālisko elementu saturs noteikts ar ICP-MS analīzes metodi. Iegūtie rezultāti tika statistiski apstrādāti, izvērtēts sēra un metālisko elementu saturs ķērpjos atkarībā no to mazgāšanas un augšanas vietas un rezultāti salīdzināti ar citiem literatūras datiem.
