Biological monitoring: lichens as bioindicators of air pollution assessment--a review.
TL;DR: The object of this paper is that of pointing out the most important lines in the current state of knowledge in this field, evaluating the methodological applications and their advantages/disadvantages with respect to traditional surveying methods.

A biomonitoring study: trace metals in algae and molluscs from Tyrrhenian coastal areas.
TL;DR: Metal concentrations detected in algae and molluscs did not show significant differences among all stations studied, and the hypothesis that the Protected Sea Park would be cleaner than the others must therefore be reconsidered.

Heavy Metal Accumulation in the Lichen Evernia prunastri Transplanted at Urban, Rural and Industrial Sites in Central Italy
TL;DR: In this article, the Evernia prunastri has been employed for biomonitoring the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals at urban, rural and industrial sites in Central Italy, where lichen samples have been collected in a control site 1500 m a. s. l. (Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Central Italy) and subsequently transplanted at urban site (Cassino city center), at rural location 7 km away from Cassino (S. Elia Fiumerapido) and at industrial location (Piedimonte S. German

A biomonitoring study: trace metals in seagrass, algae and molluscs in a marine reference ecosystem (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)
TL;DR: Results clearly show the diversity between these three marine ecosystems, with a high ability to accumulate metals, with concentration factors higher than 10³, with respect to the concentration (soluble fraction) in marine waters.

A statistical approach applied to trace metal data from biomonitoring studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of the statistical procedures necessary for the significant assessment of analytical data of heavy metals derived from marine organisms (biomonitors) collected at five stations in Ustica at the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea was highlighted.
