Abstract
Stable sulphur isotope determinations were performed on 18 moss samples collected at nine sites in forested areas of the city of Kielce. The δ34S of Hylocomium splendens varied from 4.4 to 7.1 ‰, whereas the δ34S of Pleurozium schreberi was in the range of 3.7–9.1 ‰. The Holy Cross Mountains mosses display a positive δ34S signature of airborne SO2 and sulphates of anthropogenic origin, which is characteristic for this part of Europe. Some spatial variations in the δ34S of mosses are due to the interactions that occur between coal combustion emissions with diverse isotopic imprints, variations in wind direction and topographic features combined with biological fractionation.
