New Paper "Metal accumulation in the acrocarp moss Atrichum undulatum under controlled conditions"

28.10.2019

- Fully controlled lab conditions confirm that first rain brings most contaminants.

- Weather and season are crucial in wet adsorption of metals in A. undulatum.

- Metal uptake in A. undulatum also occurs via substrate.

- Metals were not washed out, pointing to active binding to moss tissue.

- Metal sensitivity in A. undulatum depends on metal type and plant tissue.
