Long-term effects of pollutants on forest vegetation in Central Spis region
2002
Mankovska, B. (Forest Research Institute, Zvolen (Slovak Republic))
Pollution problems in forest ecosystems resulting from 100 year long operation of three smelter complexes in Central Spis are reviewed. Original data are presented with respect to temporal and spatial trends of nitrogen, sulphur and heavy metal pollution, and elemental composition of individual aerosols on leaf surface. Spruce stands in Central Spis are loaded by pollutants 1.7 times more than are critical values and the highest concentrations of As, Fe, Hg, and N were found in this region. Low Tatra National Park was the cleanest region where no element maxima were found

Remarkable differences were found in soil development on three sites. At Modru Dul (the least damaged site) Sopdosols and Inceptisols were found, in Alzbetinska (moderately damaged) Entisols are common, while in Mumlavksa hora (highly damaged) the representative soils are several kind of Podzols, with variable degree of drainage restriction and organic soils. The heavy metal content is always rather low and the vertical distribution does not indicate any appreciable contribution of atmospheric contamination

2002
Mankovska, B. (Forest Research Institute, Zvolen (Slovak Republic)) | Karnosky, D. F. | Percy, K. | Ermakova, E. | Frontasyeva, M.
Foliage of three trembling aspen clones differing in O3 tolerance from Rhinelander, Kenosha and Kalamazoo were examined for 24 elements in the year 2001 and they were analyzed by INAA at reactor IBR-2, by AAS Varian 400 and by elemental analyzer LECO SC 132 and SP 228. In the fofliage of trembling aspen we found no statistically significant difference in the concentration of 22 elements except for K and Ni between clones. For the concentrations of elements between localities we found statistically significant difference for Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Cl, Co, Cu, La, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Sm, Sr and Zn

Gunthardt-Goerg, M. S. | Vollenweider, P. (Swiss Federal Research Institute, Birmensdorf (Switzerland))
We aim to differentiate the various visible leaf symptoms in the field survey with microscopical methods, and to better know, how the leaf, tissue and cell response differs between injury from ozone, heavy metals (both oxidative stress) and biotic infections
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]The influence of air pollution on contents of pollutant in some components of nature environment in the protected landscape area Ponitrie
2002
Dureckova, E. (State Nature Protection of Slovak Republic, Nitra (Slovak Republic). Protected Landscape Area Ponitrie)
Since 1990 the investigations of quality of some components of nature environment were carried out on selected permanent plots in Protected Landscape Area Ponitrie focused on pollutant contents. The increased concentration of pollutants in precipitation from the top of the Vtacnik Mts. indicates firstly the effect of the nearby thermal power station, secondly documents an increased immission load on forest ecosystems in ridge positions of these mountains
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Heavy metals in Hypnum cupressiforme collected in the surroundings of oil plants in Ploiesti and Slovnaft
2002
Oprea, C. D. (FLNP, Dubna (Russia)) | Frontasyeva, M. V. | Pavlov, S. S. | Florek, M. | Mankovska, B. | Mihul, A. | Timofte, L.
The terrestrial moss Hypnum cupressiforme was collected in the surroundings of oil plant Slovnaft (Slovakia) and oil industry in Ploiesti (Romania) to monitor heavy metal atmospheric deposition. A comparative evaluation of heavy metal atmospheric deposition recorded at the two locations versus a background area in Europe as Norway is presented. The highest concentrations were observed for V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni and As at Ploiesti and for V, Cr, Fe, Co, and Ag at Slovnaft. This moss is very useful as biomonitoring organism to indicate and characterize deposition of atmospheric pollutants nearby oil plants
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Atmospheric deposition of heavy metals in Slovakia studied by the moss biomonitoring technique, neutron activation analysis and flame atomic absorption spectrometry
2002
Mankovska, B. (Forest Research Institute, Zvolen (Slovak Republic)) | Florek, M.: Frontasyeva, M. V. | Ermakova, E. V. | Oprea, K. | Pavlov, S. S.
The mosses Pleurozium schreberi, Hylocomium splendes and Dicranum scoparium were used as biomonitors to study the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals on the territory of Slovakia. The samples of mosses were collected on 86 permanent plots. Comparison with limit values from Norway shows strong pollution of the examined areas of Slovakia with many different heavy metals. The maximum level of pollution by heavy metals was observed in the region Gemer-Spis. The most important feature of sampling is that it correlates with the European Moss-Survey-2000 and the results obtained will be incorporated in the Atlas of Heavy Metal Atmospheric Deposition in Europe
