Nunes L., Burle G., Gumboski E.L. & Dechoum M. (2019): Abiotic effects on the cover and richness of corticolous lichens on Araucaria angustifolia trunks, Acta Botanica Brasilica, 33(1): 21-28

Lichens play a key role in natural ecosystems, as they can function as primary producers, recycle minerals and fix nitrogen. Despite their environmental importance, little is known about lichen ecology in Brazil, and especially about how abiotic factors may influence their spatial distribution. In this study, we aimed to verify how the cover and richness of corticolous lichens on Araucaria angustifolia trunks vary between two different habitats (Forest and Grassland). The photoquadrat sampling method … Read more...

Davidson C.J., Foster K.R. & Tanna R.N. (2020): Forest health effects due to atmospheric deposition: Findings from long-term forest health monitoring in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Science of the Total Environment, 699: 134277

Oil sands developments release acidifying compounds (SO2 and NO2) with the potential for acidifying deposition and impacts to forest health. This article integrates the findings presented in the Oil Sands Forest Health Special Issue, which reports on the results of 20 years of forest health monitoring, and addresses the key questions asked by WBEA's Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) Program: 1) is there evidence of deposition affecting the environment?, 2) have there been changes in deposition or effects … Read more...

Nelson D.R., Bartels P.J. & Fegley S.R. (2020): Environmental correlates of tardigrade community structure in mosses and lichens in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Tennessee and North Carolina, USA), Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 188(3): 913–924

A major inventory of tardigrades in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was conducted and we compared tardigrade species composition in moss and lichen samples and analysed environmental correlates of tardigrade community structure. We also compared these tardigrades with those collected from soil. The basic dataset from tree mosses and lichens consisted of 336 samples, 9200 individuals and 43 species. The supplemental dataset from rock mosses and lichens consisted of 29 samples, 811 individuals, … Read more...

Horvath P., Halvorsen R., Stordal F., Tallaksen L.M., Tang H. & Bryn A. (2019): Distribution modelling of vegetation types based on area frame survey data, Applied Vegetation Science, 22(4): 547-560

Aim: Many countries lack informative, high-resolution, wall-to-wall vegetation or land cover maps. Such maps are useful for land use and nature management, and for input to regional climate and hydrological models. Land cover maps based on remote sensing data typically lack the required ecological information, whereas traditional field-based mapping is too expensive to be carried out over large areas. In this study, we therefore explore the extent to which distribution modelling (DM) methods are … Read more...

Fortuna L., Carniel F.C., Capozzi F. & Tretiach M. (2019): Congruence evaluation of mercury pollution patterns around a waste incinerator over a 16-year-long period using different biomonitors, Atmosphere, 10(4): 183

To date, there has been an ever-increasing interest in complementary air monitoring techniques, which may fill the deficiencies of air quality networks. The present work reports the results concerning five biomonitoring surveys (BSs) performed in the proximity of a waste incinerator (WI) over a 16-year period. Hg emission related to the WI activity was monitored by means of both active and passive BSs based on three photosynthetically-active biomonitors (i.e., two epiphytic lichens: Pseudevernia … Read more...

Tas I., Yildirim A.B., Ozkan E., Ozyigitoglu G.C., Yavuz M.Z. & Turker A.U. (2019): Biological evaluation and phytochemical profiling of some lichen species, Acta Alimentaria, 48(4): 457-465

Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic partner. Chemical characterization and bioactive potentials (antiproliferative, antioxidant, and antibacterial) of five lichen species (Evernia prunastri, Platismatia glauca, Pseudevernia furfuracea, Ramalina fastigiata, and Ramalina farinacea) were assessed. Five lichen metabolites (usnic acid, atranorin, stictic acid, evernic acid, and fumarprotocetraric acid) were analyzed by HPLC-DAD. E. prunastri was noteworthy evernic … Read more...

Vitali M., Antonucci A., Owczarek M., Guidotti M., Astolfi M.L., Manigrasso M., Avino P., Bhattacharya B. & Protano C. (2019): Air quality assessment in different environmental scenarios by the determination of typical heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants in native lichen Xanthoria parietina, Environmental Pollution, 254(A): 113013

The study was aimed to evaluate the ability of native lichen Xanthoria (X.) parietina to biomonitor and bioaccumulate some heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb), PAHs, PCDDs, PCDFs, PCBs and PBDEs and to evaluate the use of the native X. parietina as a multi-tracer tool for scenarios characterized by different anthropogenic pressures. Samples of native X. parietina were collected in six different sites (two green, two residential and two industrial areas, respectively) and analyzed for the target … Read more...

Łubek A., Adamowski W., Dyderski M.K., Wierzcholska S. & Czortek P. (2025): Invasive Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. hosts more lichens than native tree species – does quantity reflect quality?, Forest Ecology and Management, 590: 122812 [14 p.]

The impact of nonnative trees on epiphytic lichen diversity is one of the most significant knowledge gaps in invasion ecology. One notable invader, Prunus cerasifera Ehrh., has been identified as a rapidly spreading nonnative into forest ecosystems, potentially influencing the diversity of epiphytic lichens. The objective of this study was to determine whether the taxonomic and functional diversity of lichens colonizing P. cerasifera bark differs from that observed on native trees composing early … Read more...

Darmostuk V., Etayo J., Rodriguez-Flakus P., Kukwa M., Pino-Bodas R., Pérez-Ortega S. & Flakus A. (2025): A novel, exclusively lichen-inhabiting lineage of hypocrealean fungi revealed in the Sordariomycetes, Persoonia, 54: 47–91

Lichen-inhabiting (lichenicolous) fungi comprise a considerable portion of the Hypocreales (Sordariomycetes), their placement and phylogenetic relationships within the order remain largely unknown due to a lack of available molecular data. This study focuses mainly on tropical lichenicolous hypocrealean fungi which were neglected for a long time. Increasing knowledge of this fungal group is crucial to better understanding the complex evolutionary histories and trophic strategies of the Hypocreales. … Read more...
