The shift from mineral-rich to mineral-poor species in the boreal zone may have been driven by the expansion of mineral-poor wetlands when the climate became colder and wetter in Late Tertiary and Pleistocene times (Elliott-Fisk 1988; Potts and Behrensmeyer 1992). The creation of young calcare...
Mosses are recognized as good biomonitors of air pollution due to their specific morpho-physiological features: the lack of a root system, large surface area, and a high cation-exchange capacity of cell membranes, which represent their adaptations to nutrition from the air. Mosses are ubiquitous ...
