For background monitoring of heavy-metal loads in central Europe it is possible to use the moss species Hypnum  cupressiforme. However, it is shown that it is important, especially for Pb, that the sampling sites are away from  the influence of tree canopies and stemflow, e.g. in clearings of the forest.
