20.500.12556/DiRROS-7528 Trace elements and nitrogen content in naturally growing moss Hypnum cupressiforme in urban and peri-urban forests of the Municipality of Ljubljana (Slovenia) We monitored trace metals and nitrogen using naturally growing moss Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. in urban and peri-urban forests of the City Municipality of Ljubljana. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in atmospheric deposition of trace metals and nitrogen between urban and peri-urban forests. Samples were collected at a total of 44 sites in urban forests (forests within the motorway ring road) and peri-urban forests (forests outside the motorway ring road). Mosses collected in urban forests showed increased trace metal concentrations compared to samples collected from peri-urban forests. Higher values were significant for As, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl and V. Within the motorway ring road, the notable differences in element concentrations between the two urban forests were significant for Cr, Ni and Mo. Factor analysis showed three groups of elements, highlighting the contribution of traffic emissions, individual heating appliances and the resuspension of contaminated soils and dust as the main sources of trace elements in urban forests. heavy metals biomonitoring Ljubljana ICP-MS elemental analysis factor analysis traffic emissions težke kovine biomonitoring Ljubljana ICP-MS elementna analiza faktorska analiza mestni gozdovi onesnaženost promet true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Znanstveno delo 2017-07-12 09:14:50 2017-07-12 09:14:50 2022-08-12 13:55:46 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2017 0 0 str. 4517-4527 iss. 5 Vol. 24 2017 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2017-12-10 630*17 0944-1344 10.1007/s11356-016-8201-0 4656294 2640249 RAZ_Berisha_S._i2017.pdf RAZ_Berisha_S._i2017.pdf 1 26DDC609DA4748E53DD4F357934BDC55 f433616a3eb29f14dd6f1925d6826eea02d40664560342964180818775ce0b51 98159fb4-17b6-11ed-b6b8-001a4af901a5 20.500.12556/dirros/24d6ac3b-a02d-4d45-ae88-66d6da885ae2 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=17548 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11356-016-8201-0 1 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=19795 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
