• (1) Lo scopo di questo lavoro è la segnalazione di alcune inesattezze concettuali e delle pi[ugrave] comuni cause di errore sperimentale concernenti gli studi sui bioindicatori e non una messa a punto delle conoscenze in questo campo della ricerca. Di consegunza, le indicazioni bibliografiche sono state scelte non soltanto sulla base dell'importanza dei risultati ottenuti, ma anche dell'evidenza con la quale un'informazione veniva presentata.
