Impact of air-borne copper and zinc pollution on lichen and bryophyte vegetation near a brass foundry.
Air-borne Cu and Zn from a brass foundry at Gusum, SE Sweden, have considerably disturbed the lichen and bryophyte vegetation in the coniferous forest environment. The occurrence of lichens on Norway spruce twigs decreased rapidly with increasing Cu concentrations in above 90 ppm (backgr...

The occurrence of lichens on Norway spruce twigs decreased rapidly with increasing Cu concentrations in above 90 ppm (background value 10â15). The epiphytic vegetation is reduced within 2â3 km from the foundry.
