Three databases compile research on air pollution impacts on plants and lichens. These resources cover thousands of articles, detailing effects of various pollutants on numerous species.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Botany
  • Ecotoxicology

Background:

  • Air pollution poses a significant threat to vegetation globally.
  • Understanding these impacts is crucial for ecological health and conservation.
  • Existing literature on air pollution effects on plants and lichens is extensive but fragmented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To consolidate and organize a large body of scientific literature on air pollution effects on vegetation.
  • To create accessible, searchable databases for researchers studying plant and lichen responses to pollutants.
  • To provide a comprehensive resource for understanding the ecological impact of air pollution.

Main Methods:

  • Development of three specialized databases: BIOLEFF, LICHENS, and METALS using the 'askSam' program.

  • Computerization of approximately 4,000 journal articles from diverse scientific sources.
  • Inclusion of bibliographic and abstract data, detailing pollutants, plant species, and observed effects.

    • Main Results:

    • BIOLEFF contains over 2,800 articles on 25+ pollutants affecting 2,000+ vascular plant species.
    • LICHENS comprises nearly 400 papers on pollutants impacting 735+ lichen and moss species.
    • METALS includes over 465 papers on heavy metal effects on 830+ vascular plant species.
    • Databases cover literature from 1905 to the present, sourced from ~375 journals.
    • Ozone and sulfur dioxide are the most frequently studied gaseous pollutants.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed databases offer a centralized and comprehensive resource for air pollution research on vegetation.
    • These databases facilitate efficient literature review and identification of research gaps.
    • The compiled data highlights key plant species and pollutants of concern in environmental studies.
