Parmelia sulcata lichen transplants positioning towards wind direction (Part I): Precipitation volumes, total element deposition and lichen element content

Parmelia sulcata transplants were used in three different exposure systems, focused on three different influxes: free influx, horizontal influx and vertical influx. The total element deposition and the precipitation volumes were found to be positively correlated for Fe and Ni only. The element contents in lichen transplants and in total element...

Parmelia sulcata lichen transplants positioning towards wind direction (Part II): Element concentrations and relationships with atmospheric element deposition

Parmelia sulcata transplants were positioned in three different exposure systems allowing three different influxes: free influx (Fi), horizontal influx (Hi) and vertical influx (Vi). Results suggest the absence of any wind-directional effects on element accumulation within Fi and Hi systems, but underline that differences in response may be...
