Quality assurance (QA) procedures in the Italian network for forest health monitoring; a six-years experience
2002
Cozzi, A. (Linnaea-ambiente, Firenze (Italy)) | Bussotti, F. | Ferretti, M.
The results indicate that it is possible to reach a good level of reproducibility in a relatively short time. However, quality assurance procedures allow to know the real status of reliability of the field data. More attention must be given to the Level II indices, to select the really useful and informative ones, and to concentrate on these the didactic efforts
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Neutron activation analyses for air pollution studies: some preliminary results of the European moss-survey 2000
2002
Ermakova, E. | Frontasyeva, M. (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna (Russia). Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics)
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is presently being used in several projects on air pollution studies supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Plenipotentiaries of the country members of JINR. They involve moss and lichen biomonitoring techniques and GIS technology for constructing geographical maps of atmospheric deposition patterns of key heavy metals and a number of additional elements. Multi-element INAA is considered to be a reference analytical technique providing most reliable results for the bulk elemental content due to the non-destructive way of sample preparation for analysis
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Long-term effects of air pollution on spruce forests in the Tatra Mts. - ozone and vegetation studies
2002
Godzik, B. (Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow (Poland). Institute of Botany) | Fleischer, P. | Grodzinska, K.
Wet-deposited - sulphur and nitrogen pollutants and ambient ozone are important anthropogenic factors affecting forest health. Regular assessment of chemistry of throughfall and precipitation water based on two-week sampling started in 1997. Passive samplers for detection of ozone concentration have been exposed on a network of monitoring stations during vegetation periods since 1998. In addition, in selected locations, UV absorption monitors for continuous O3 measurements were installed in 1999
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Unaccounted spatial variability may bias site-related estimates of ozone-like foliar symptoms
2002

The assessment of O3-like foliar symptoms is increasingly considered in monitoring programs aimed at evaluating air pollution effects on forests. The results showed considerable spatial and temporal variation of O3-like foliar symptoms: year, subplot adn the interaction between year and plot were found significant factors. Symptoms resulted lower in 2001; there were differences of foliar symptoms between different subplot and overall the variation between years are considerably different according to the plot being considered. These findings suggest that O3-like foliar symptoms recorded on a small plot selected without a formal statistical approach and with no consideration of the apparently high variability of symptoms expression risk to introduce a serious bias in the evaluation of the potential ozone impact at a given site and its trend
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Development trends of forest soils water regime under changing ecological conditions
2002
Tuzinsky, L. (Technical University, Zvolen (Slovak Republic). Forestry Faculty)
Forest ecosystems water balance research is very complicated because of forest influence upon individual components of the water balance. Global climate changes represent a real threat for forest ecosystems. In hydric area these changes concern especially thermal balance and resulting increased evapotranspiration, time and spatial distribution of precipitation
