In recent decades, significant changes have been observed in the atmospheric pollutant emissions and deposition in the mountain regions of Central Europe. Pollution caused significant deforestation, but the level of tree damage differs, even between neighboring locations. Thus, it is particularly...

This study examines the dynamics of the composition of atmospheric precipitation and soil water in coniferous forests under the influence of atmospheric emissions from the Severonickel Copper-Nickel Smelter in Russia's Murmansk region. We studied dwarf shrub-green moss spruce forests and...

Changes caused by contact with typical organic pollutants of urban atmosphere (formaldehyde, benzaldehyde, hydroperoxides) in the chemical composition of the leaves and shoots of woody plants are investigated. A decrease in quinic acid content and an increase in shikimic acid content were detected...

Although plants are often exposed to atmospheric nanoparticles (NPs), the mechanism of NP deposition and their effects on physiology and metabolism, and particularly in combination with other stressors, are not yet understood. Exploring interactions between stressors is particularly important for...

In the 45 years after legislation of the Clean Air Act, there has been tremendous progress in reducing acidic air pollutants in the eastern United States, yet limited evidence exists that cleaner air has improved forest health. Here, we investigate the influence of recent environmental changes on...

Genotoxic compounds, as common contaminants of the air environment, are of interest in air pollution monitoring. There are several methods to determine the level of these contaminants in different localities, many of which may be difficult to access with the use of conventional active and passive...

The prolonged pressure of air pollutants on ecosystems weakens their resistance and changes the way they function. An example of this phenomenon can be found in the Silesian Beskid Mountains, which have long been influenced by pollutants such as NO₃^- coming from the Upper Silesia and Ostrava...

The paper presents the results of long-term studies of the collembolan communities along the gradient of the pollution of pine and spruce forests (middle taiga) in the zone of influence of pulp and paper production (Mondi Syktyvkar JSC, Komi Republic). The major pollutants include oxides of carbon, ...

This work is aimed at assessing the dynamics of the composition of soil waters in coniferous forests subjected to air pollution from the Severonikel' copper-nickel smelter in Murmansk oblast. The objects of investigations are the most common in boreal zone spruce forests with dwarf shrubs + green...

Cerium vanadate(CeVO₄)has been widely utilized in the field of water pollution treatment, but its small specific surface area, poor dispersibility, and low light utilization efficiency have restricted its application. In this stu-dy, using spruce template, the cerium vanadate precursor was loaded...
