Will-Wolf S. & Jovan S. (2019): Lichen species as element bioindicators for air pollution in the eastern United States of America, Plant and Fungal Systematics, 64(2): 137–146

Lichen element (N, S, metals) indicators of local air pollution load (a widely used technique) are recommended for five predefined regions covering central and southern parts of the eastern United States. The final recommendations integrate the advice of regional lichenologists, information from regional floras, and species abundance data from a United States Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis Program (FIA) lichen database for 11 of the 21 covered eastern states. Recommended species … Read more...

Will-Wolf S., Jovan S. & Amacher M.C. (2017): Lichen elemental content bioindicators for air quality in upper Midwest, USA: A model for large-scale monitoring, Ecological Indicators, 78: 253–263

Our development of lichen elemental bioindicators for a United States of America (USA) national monitoring program is a useful model for other large-scale programs. Concentrations of 20 elements were measured, validated, and analyzed for 203 samples of five common lichen species. Collections were made by trained non-specialists near 75 permanent plots and an expert near nine air monitoring sites. Flavoparmelia caperata (most frequent) and Physcia aipolia/stellaris between them represented the full … Read more...

Will-Wolf S., Jovan S. & Amacher M.C. (2017): Lichen element content is a reliable indicator for relative air pollution load in research and monitoring programmes requiring both efficiency and representation of many sites. We tested the value of costly rigorous field and handling protocols for sample element analysis using five lichen species. No relaxation of rigour was supported; four relaxed protocols generated data significantly different, Lichenologist, 49(4): 415–424

Lichen element content is a reliable indicator for relative air pollution load in research and monitoring programmes requiring both efficiency and representation of many sites. We tested the value of costly rigorous field and handling protocols for sample element analysis using five lichen species. No relaxation of rigour was supported; four relaxed protocols generated data significantly different from rigorous protocols for many of the 20 validated elements. Minimally restrictive site selection … Read more...

Lichens are known to be indicators for air quality; they also respond to climate. We developed indices for lichen response to climate and air quality in forests across the northeastern United States of America (U.S.A.), using 218–250 plot surveys with 145–161 macrolichen taxa from the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. Lichen indicator species for response to climate and air quality were selected using Indicator Species Analysis, … Read more...

Lichen-based indices were developed for monitoring local climate and air quality impacts in the United States of America (U.S.A.) Mid-Atlantic states (MidA). The U.S.A. Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis Program (FIA) uses such biological indicators to monitor forest environments. Index development used a unique combination of recommended analysis techniques. The Climate Index (Axis 1 of nonmetric multidimensional scaling [NMS] ordination of 189 plots, 80 lichen species) accounted for … Read more...
