    Environ Pollut 146:380-91. 2007
    ..The difference in vitality loss was related to the different ecophysiology of the species, because concentrations of phytotoxic pollutants were low during exposure. Critical notes on the analytical techniques are also given...

    Mauro Tretiach
    Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita, Universita degli Studi di Trieste, I 34127 Trieste, Italy
    Environ Sci Technol 46:6851-9. 2012
    ..The new protocol is simple, the field equipment cheap, and the negative effects associated with standard biocide treatments are absent...
  3. ncbi Effects of ambient NOx on chlorophyll a fluorescence in transplanted Flavoparmelia caperata (Lichen)
    Mauro Tretiach
    Dipartimento di Biologia, Universita degli Studi di Trieste, Via L Giorgieri 10, 1 34127 Trieste, Italy
    Environ Sci Technol 41:2978-84. 2007
    ..Effects of NOx on lichens and possible action mechanisms are discussed. The results strongly suggest that CaF measurements of lichen transplants can be a valid tool in biomonitoring studies...

    Environ Monit Assess 175:589-600. 2011
    ..It was concluded that, although the immediate risk for the population living close to the incinerator is low, long-term hazard due to Hg accumulation in the surrounding environment should be seriously taken into account...

    Oecologia 168:589-99. 2012
    ..Our results re-open the discussion on the so-called "drought hypothesis", which suggests that the lichen desert observed in urban areas of central and eastern Europe is more a matter of dry microclimate than of air pollution...
