“…Studies show this species has higher accumulation capabilities of heavy metals like Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, and Zn compared to other moss species (Shakya et al 2012). While there hasn't been much study done on this species, there have been several studies conducted worldwide on other moss species and bryophytes, which show that mosses can be more successful in absorbing heavy metals from a range of habitats (Barukial and Hazarika 2023).…”

E. julaceum is one of the species of corticolous mosses which is distributed widely in Upper Assam which falls under Tropical Rain Forest and Eastern Himalayan Biodiversity Hot Spot. Upper Assam is the most productive region in the state of Assam, with abundant natural resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas in addition to tea plantations. Concentration of five heavy metals viz., Cd, Cu, Ni, Cr and Pb were determined by ICP-OES analysis in the moss species along with its BAF and EF for each metal. It has revealed from the study that the species has significant concentrations of Cr, Cu, and Pb in all the study sites. The study unequivocally shows that species are capable of accumulating Cr, Cu, and Pb, and that they may thrive in industrial environments by creating dense carpets in the phorophytes.
