“…Thus, for the correlation analyses not only the moss measurement values were used but also surface estimations derived from them by kriging. The correlations indicated that the organisms used fairly well indicate atmospheric deposition and, therefore, should be used to enhance the spatial resolution of deposition maps and, subsequently, HM and N critical loads (ARGE StickstoffBW 2014; de Vries and Groenenberg 2009; Giordani et al 2014;Lorenz et al 2008;Lorenz and Granke 2009;Reinds and de Vries 2010;Waldner et al 2015). The latter are, among others, required for assessing and mapping ecosystem conditions.…”
