This thesis presents the first large scale examination of urban bryophytes in Australia in terms of species distribution, screening as hyperaccumulators and use as biomonitors. It provides baseline data to allow future comparison of the distribution of urban bryoflora with respect to arsenic and the associated contribution of cadmium, copper, zinc and lead
