Description
Research data and scientific software related to an investigation of statistical relations between the accumulation of heavy metals in moss and natural surface soil and potential influencing factors such as atmospheric deposition. Data were collected in 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 throughout Norway. Statistical correlations of a set of potential predictors (elevation, precipitation, density of different land uses, population density, physical properties of soil) with concentrations of cadmium, mercury and lead in moss and natural surface soil were evaluated. Spatio-temporal trends were estimated by use of multivariate regression-kriging and generalized linear models.
