Abstract Concentrations of trace metals in mosses Hylocomium splendens (Hs) and Pleurozium schreberi (Ps) are compared along with wet deposition at 8 sites in Sweden. Cd, Mn, Zn and Cr concentrations were similar in both mosses, while Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni and V levels were 14 to 24% higher in Hs than in Ps. The comparison to wet deposition estimates indicates that concentrations in mosses are also influenced by other factors than the adsorption of precipitation. No correlation was observed between the wet deposition of Mn, Cr and Ni and moss concentrations.
