This article deals with use of several bioindication methods in forest decline studies within an international TEMPUS project carried out in Slovenia. The aim of the project was to introduce and connect different bioindication methods in order to improve methods and qualify the research staff working in this research field in Slovenia. The following bioindication methods were introduced or adapted for forest decline research in Slovenia: biochemical and physiological markers of air pollution / stress impact on forest trees (Graz Univ.: photosynthetic pigments, thiols, ascorbic acid, protective enzyme systems; Cambridge Univ.: plant hormones; Munich Univ.: mineral nutrition of forest trees); epiphytic lichens as indicators of air quality on forest sites (Graz Univ., Ljubljana Univ); determination of types of ectomycorrhizae as indicators of forest soil condition (Munich Univ., Ljubljana Univ.). The significance and practical use of bioindication methods in environmental studies is also discussed.
