Abstract: | The origin of the presence of soil elements in the epiphytic lichen Lecanora conizaeoides was investigated in an area of heavily polluted soil (The Broekpolder The Netherlands). Analysis results of lichens, bark and tree rings of the supporting trees indicated that for As, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Sc and V the levels in lichens may be considered to originate from wet and dry deposition. The Cd, Mn and Zn levels in lichens might have originated from both wet and dry deposition and the substrate bark. For these three elements, in particular, accumulation characteristics in lichens should be further investigated. |
