Abstract

Lichens and mosses have extensively been used in multielemental large-scale biomonitoring studies of atmospheric metal pollution. Despite its high importance in the assessment of cumulative risk and the communication with risk managers, the presentation and interpretation of biomonitoring results have only been partially the center of interest for a standardized methodology and for the harmonization of the techniques. Here we attempt to expand and improve the up-to-date formal presentation of biomonitoring results, combining the Hasse diagram technique with GIS techniques. The implementation using real data has demonstrated that such an expansion and improvement, in the direction of cumulative risk assessment and management, is feasible and it is suggested for incorporation in biomonitoring studies.
