Table 1.

Correlation statistics (Pearson's r and Spearman ρ) used to investigate relationships between urban influencing factors and lichen-derived CNS contents (wt%) and stable-isotope-ratio signatures (δ13C, δ15N and δ34S). Underlined values represent Spearman ρ, all other values are presented as Pearson’s r, significant values are presented in bold (significance level is indicated by asterisk; *significant at the level p < 0.05 and **significant at the level p < 0.01); MR = distance to major road, RdCl = road class, TC = traffic counts, BH = surrounding building height, GS = distance to greenspace
