Integrative evaluation of biomonitoring data and modelings indicating atmospheric deposition of heavy metals, link to research data and scientific software

<p>Research data and scientific software related to integrative statistical analyses based on deposition data calculated with the model LOTOS-EUROS (LE) and the EMEP/MSC-East model (Germany, Europe) and Biomonitoring data on As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn concentrations in moss, leaves and needles and soil derived from the European Moss Survey (EMS), the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) and the International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP Forests). The modelled HM deposition and respective concentrations in moss (EMS), leaves and needles (ESB, ICP Forests) and soil (ICP Forests) were investigated for their statistical relationships. Regression kriging was applied to calculate maps of Cd and Pb deposition across Germany.</p>
