Article Synopsis
- The study focused on mapping metal concentrations in mosses across eight European countries during the years 1990, 1995, and 2000, using geostatistics to analyze the data.
- Results showed significant local variability and patterns, with differences in metal levels detected on either side of national borders, though inconsistencies arose from using various laboratory techniques for analysis.
- An example from German moss data illustrated that factors such as moss species, local pollution sources, and environmental conditions like rainfall primarily influenced metal concentration variations.
The regional assessment of global change effects on plant phenology usually relies on local observations that need to be up-scaled. Therefore, methodological difficulties mostly related to data spatial resolution and congruency arise while performing broader-scale evaluations. Geostatiscs could be a useful tool to solve this type of problem, provided that a database with adequate spatial and temporal resolution is available.
