In the present work epigeic moss (Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw.) and epigeic lichen (Cladonia rangiformis Hoffm.) samples were collected simultaneously in the Thrace region, Turkey according to a regular sampling grid. Whereas the moss was found at all 68 sampling sites, the lichen could be collected only at 25 of the sites, presumably because lichens are more sensitive than mosses with respect to air pollution and climatic variations. All elements showed higher accumulation in the moss than in the lichen whereas element inter-correlations were generally higher in the lichen. All considered the moss was judged to be a better choice than the lichen for biomonitoring of atmospheric deposition of metals in this case, and it is argued that mosses may be generally more suited than lichens for this purpose.
在本研究中，根据规则采样网格，在土耳其色雷斯地区同时采集了地表苔藓（垂枝藓）和地表地衣（环裂石蕊）样本。苔藓在所有68个采样点均有发现，而地衣仅在其中25个采样点采集到，这可能是因为地衣相对于苔藓对空气污染和气候变化更为敏感。所有元素在苔藓中的积累量均高于地衣，而元素间的相关性在地衣中通常更高。综合考虑，在这种情况下，苔藓被认为比地衣更适合用于生物监测大气中金属的沉降，并且有人认为苔藓总体上可能比地衣更适合此用途。
