Abstract
Terricolous lichens of the genus Cladonia from coal strip-mining areas in Ohio have been shown to accumulate heavy metals to many times their concentrations in the underlying substrate. This paper reports the results of scanning electron microscopy and x-ray emission microanalysis of fungal and algal cells from C. cristatella Tuck. collected from coal strip-mining areas in Perry County, Ohio, and illustrates structural localization of accumulated heavy metals.
