Questions: How high is the diversity of the lichen-forming, lichenicolous
and lichen-related fungi in Teremky woodland? How reprentative is the
old-growth oak forest by Indicators of Ecological Continuity for the
woodland?
Location: Kyiv Region, Ukraine
Materials and methods: аbout 80% of the observations were made during
the autumn-winter blackout within 3 hours in the woodland per day;
microscope technique
Nomenclature: Index Fungorum, POWO 2023, Mucina et al. 2016
Results: The list of 126 species of lichen-forming, lichenicolous fungi and
lichen-related fungi from 75 genera, 32 families, 19 orders, 8 classes and 2
divisions have been provided for the Teremky woodland as a part of the
Holosiivskyi National Nature Park (Kyiv, Ukraine). Lichen-forming fungi
are represented by 105 species, lichenicolous fungi – by 13 species, and
lichen-related fungi (facultative lichens or semi-lichens) – by 8 species.
Among them 54 species of lichens, lichenicolous and lichen-related fungi
are new for the Holosiivskyi National Nature Park, 35 species new to the
Kyiv region, 10 species new to the lowland part of Ukraine and three
species new to Ukraine. Corticolous lichen species (101 species, 84%) are
predominantly found in the Teremky woodland. It is highest representation
on Quercus robur (72 species), but the peculiarity of the woodland is the
presence of a significant number of old-growth Prunus avium trees with
44 corticolous species. The most abundant lichens (more then 11
locations) in the Teremky woodland are 19 species (15%), while more
than half of the species (71 species, 56%) are rare (1–3 locations). Eight
indicator species of the ecological continuity for woodland as Acrocordia
gemmata, Anisomeridium biforme, Bactrospora dryina, Bacidia rubella,
Chaenotheca phaeocephala, Ch. trichialis, Eopyrenula leucoplaca,
Toniniopsis separabilis were found in the Teremky woodland, which is
sufficient to indicate high representativeness (category B) of Central European hornbeam-oak habitats. The maximum diversity of corticolous lichen-forming, lichenicolous and lichen-related fungi is 63 species per
hectare, which can be used as a baseline for comparison with other forest
habitats of the plain part of Ukraine.The indicator qualities of corticolous
lichen-forming fungi are discussed.
