| Abstract | Thallus morphology and element concentrations (S, Al, Fe, Sr, Mn, Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, As, F, and Cl) were comparedn samplesf the fruticose lichen genus Usnea at two heightsf the Abies sibirica canopyn the East Sayan Mountains (Krasnoyarsk District, Russia) sampled from three stations at 15, 25 and 35 km from Krasnoyark. Usnea species with an abnormal morphologyominatedn branchesn the upper canopy, 15-22 m above ground level, and normal thallin lower tree branches, 2-5 m above ground. Abnormal thalli at the tree-top level contained higher Al, Fe, Zn, F, Sr and Pb concentrations compared with normal thalli growing below, confirming austmpact. No such clear trend wasbserved between sampling stations. Crown canopy architecture, surface microtopography and the balance between the processesfeposition and the movement and lossf particles play a major rolen particlenterception andn pollutantelivery to Usnea. |
