Abstract Two common species of lichens from southwestern Louisiana, Parmelia praesorediosa and Ramalina stenospora, were analyzed thrice over a period of 9 mo. Samples were analyzed for Th, Cs, Se, Hg, Cr, Ir, Ce, Sc, Rb, Fe, Zn, Co, Ta, Eu, K, and Sb. No statistical differences in concentration over the time interval studied were seen. However, discriminant analysis showed a significant (〉90%) difference between elemental content and species. The data could be separated into two geographical areas that were statistically different. Highest concentrations were observed within a 10.8-km radius of the industrial/urban zone.
