Abstract
A long-term monitoring of seven heavy metals [HM] in flesh-flies (Sarc ophagidae) and their hosts (detritophagous earthworms and phytophagous snails) in Austrian Alps near Lunz am See has been performed. The res ults show the impact of individual heavy metals in selected habitats o f different elevations. It shows that natural heavy metal impact in al pine areas may be comparable to HM impact in habitats neighbouring HM sources.
