Bio-Indicators and Chemical Pollution of Surface Watersvations on the state of health of the biota naturally occurring in the environment to be judged. In the original concept of biological indicators of water pollution the existence of differences in stress-susceptibility of different species is assumed. However, toxicity studies indicated that there a

A great variety of less common pollutants originates in industry and agriculture. Amongst the latter are: fluorides, heavy metals and polychlorbiphenyls (PCB’s). Agriculture contributes pesticides, f

But these indicator plants may also be used for the quantitati

This is illustrated by examples with emphasis on: choice of parameters, interaction between several factors, comparison of lichens with other o

Soil Properties Indicative for Qualityl, and sandy soil can be distinguished with several transitions and mixtures in between. All these soil types can be characterized by their physical and chemical properties. As such features as structure, particle size, pore volume, organic matter content, cation exchange capacity, pH and mineral co

Problems in Characterizing the Ecological Quality of Soil in Relation to Human Activities soil provide the boundary conditions. In view of various deteriorating human activities, it is important to find soil quality characteristics with respect to its most important function: the ecological function. An enumeration has been given of chemical, physical and biological soil parameters whic

Bioindication of a Surplus of Heavy Metals in Terrestrial Ecosystemsental stress on organisms is presented. Two main inputs of heavy metals for terrestrial ecosystems have been considered: airborne and soil-borne..Airborne metals can be monitored due to physical adsorption on plant surfaces or due to chemical exchange processes in cell walls. Active biomonitoring wi

General Remarks with Regard to Biological Indicators Used in Water Pollution Studieses. Accordingly, also the biological characteristics of the inhabitants differ from those of terrestrial organisms. The same holds for the functioning of plankton as compared to that of terrestrial communities. The pelagic zone is much more homogeneous than the mosaic of the various parts on land. S
