dc.description.abstractIn recent decades, mosses have been used successfully as biomonitors of atmospheric deposition of heavy metals. Since 1990, the European moss survey has been repeated at five-yearly intervals. Although spatial patterns were metal-specific, in 2005 the lowest concentrations of metals in mosses were generally found in Scandinavia, the Baltic States and northern parts of the UK; the highest concentrations were generally found in Belgium and south-eastern Europe. The recent decline in emission and subsequent deposition of heavy metals across Europe has resulted in a decrease in the heavy metal concentration in mosses for the majority of metals. Since 1990, the concentration in mosses has declined the most for arsenic, cadmium, iron, lead and vanadium (52-72%), followed by copper, nickel and zinc (20-30%), with no significant reduction being observed for mercury (12% since 1995) and chromium (2%). However, temporal trends were country-specific with sometimes increases being found. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

dc.description.sponsorshipWe thank the United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra: contract EPG 1/3/170, EPG 1/3/205, AQ03509 and AQ0810), the UNECE (Trust Fund) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) for funding the ICP Vegetation Programme Coordination Centre at CEH Bangor, UK. The contributions of many more scientists in 2005, additional scientists and countries in previous European surveys (1990-2000) and all the funding bodies in each country are gratefully acknowledged (for full details see Ruhling, 1994; Ruhling and Steinnes, 1998; Buse et al., 2003; Harmens et al., 2008a). We thank Ilia Ilyin (EMEP/MSC-East) for making modelled heavy metal deposition data available and for the valuable discussions and Tim Sparks (CEH) for statistical advice.
