Previous analyses at the European scale have shown that cadmium and lead concentrations in mosses are
primarily determined by the total deposition of these metals. Further analyses in the current study show
that Spearman rank correlations between the concentration in mosses and the deposition modelled by
the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) are country and metal-specific. Significant
positive correlations were found for about two thirds or more of the participating countries in 1990,
1995, 2000 and 2005 (except for Cd in 1990). Correlations were often not significant and sometimes
negative in countries where mosses were only sampled in a relatively small number of EMEP grids.
Correlations frequently improved when only data for EMEP grids with at least three moss sampling sites
per grid were included. It was concluded that spatial patterns and temporal trends agree reasonably well
between lead and cadmium concentrations in mosses and modelled atmospheric deposition.
