✳️ #Mosses record historical variations of #AtmosphericNitrogenDeposition in a mountain area of northern China

Results:
1️⃣ 2012~2018: moss nitrogen(N) contents ⬆️, moss N isotope values ⬇️;
2️⃣ 2012~2022: total N deposition fluxes ⬆️.

Main sources:
1️⃣ volatilization-related ammonia
2️⃣ fossil fuel N oxides emission

Monitoring Australia’s endangered species
while logging their habitats

Scent dogs are being replaced by cost-effective biomonitoring of threatened species. Technology will detection chemical signals of wildlife assemblages in the environment. " Little did we know that traces of wildlife presence float in the air and can be detected through traces of DNA."

Will the air sampling techniques operate with the pollution of heavy logging machinery to detect the scent of a koala or a glider? Will it cut through the thick smoke from (bush) fires that follow? Will traffic pollution allow allow the technology to pick up the airborne eDNA?

Proud to contribute to the #eDNA part of this review on #BioMonitoring of #marine #invasive #alien species in Europe, as part of the #GES4SEAS project. Have a look, esp. if you wondered how many #NIS species for which sequence vouchers exist for #DNA #barcoding or #metabarcoding

The #BristlyBeardLichen is very sensitive to #AirPollution, especially to #SulfurDioxide and nitrogen compounds. It has also shown the ability to bioaccumulate #HeavyMetals in its tissues. As a result, more recent studies are trying to turn it into a model species for #BioMonitoring of air #pollution.
