Vegetation Cover, Organic Matter, and PCB Concentration Along a Transect
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of vegetation cover percentage, organic matter content, and concentrations of PCBs in ng/g d.w. across different land uses, including forests, shrubs, pastures, and crops. Data points were collected at various elevations from 2000m to 4500m to explore how environmental factors influence these elements. The graphical representation illustrates the correlation between PCB levels, organic matter, and vegetation cover, providing insights into ecological health and pollution impacts.
