The present study evaluated an integrated biomonitoring approach based on three different bioindicators: tree rings, lichens, and beetles in a complex environment (urban-industrial-forest). In Central Italy, four sampling sites were selected to assess the anthropogenic impact of cement plants taking into account (1) long-term exposure (1988-2020) through analysis trace elements rings Quercus pubescens; (2) medium-term (2020-2021) thalli (outermost portions) lichen Xanthoria parietina; (3) short-term spring 2021 bioaccumulation evaluation sample vitality transplants Evernia prunastri periodic survey entomological biodiversity carried out during summer 2021. Trace industrial origin found with levels accumulation between 1988 2020 maximum 2012. Native X. parietina showed overall low except for Cr, probably reflecting influence national lockdown measures. E. weak stress response urban sites, but not forest, identified Tl V as main contributing atmospheric contamination, peaks at sites. Concerning beetles, significantly lower number species was Semonte site.
