Air pollution is mentioned as one of the major factors that limit the occurrence of epiphytes inurban areas. The purpose of the investigation was to analyze any dissimilarity in the amount of heavy metals and sulphur to the bark of different tree species that had been subjected to bark pollution (pH values were also analyzed). In order to estimate the differences in the amount of pollutants that hadreached the bark, the “moss-bag” method was also used.The present study confirms that the barks of tree species differ in the level of pollutants (such as heavy metals and sulphur). The higher pH values of the bark appears to be an important buffer forthe adverse effects of air pollution and determines the recolonization processes of epiphytic species in urban areas

Zanieczyszczenie powietrza jest jednym z głównych czynników ograniczających występowanie epifitów na obszarach zurbanizowanych. Celem badań było określenie zróżnicowania zawartości metali ciężkich i siarki w korze różnych gatunków drzew występujących na terenie zanieczyszczonym (analizowano także poziom pH). Różnice w ilości zanieczyszczeń docierających do kory porównano również za pomocą metody woreczkowej z wykorzystaniem mchu (metoda „moss-bag”).W prezentowanych badaniach potwierdzono, że kora różnych gatunków drzew różni się poziomem zanieczyszczenia (zarówno metalami ciężkimi, jak i siarką). Wyższy poziom pH kory wydaje się istotnym czynnikiem buforującym niekorzystne oddziaływanie zanieczyszczeń powietrza i warunkującym procesy rekolonizacji epifitów na terenach miejskich
