Rikkonen T., Turunen M., Hallikainen V. & Rautio P. (2023): Multiple-use forests and reindeer husbandry - Case of pendulous lichens in continuous cover forests - Forest Ecology and Management, 529: 120651

Competition for land use between forestry and reindeer husbandry has been debated in northern Finland, particularly due to the possible adverse effects of forestry on the availability of forage resources for reindeer. In an attempt to achieve a better reconciliation of these land uses, as well as to promote multiple forest use, we studied the effects of 37 stand-, plot-, and tree-level variables on pendulous lichens (Alectoria sp., Bryoria sp. and Usnea sp.), and compared two methods of continuous … Read more...

Bajpai R., Srivastava R. & Upreti D. (2023): Unraveling the ameliorative potentials of native lichen Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl., during COVID 19 phase - International Journal of Biometeorology, 67(1): 67–77

Due to the rapid increase in the novel coronavirus virulence, the entire world implemented the practice of lockdown along with the constraint of human movement. The obligation of quarantine halted most of the commercial and industrial movement that prominently disturbed the distinct key environmental parameters directly associated with the plant’s and animal’s health conditions. In this regard, the research aims to study the sudden shut-off of vehicular activity impact on the naturally growing … Read more...

Miranda-González R., McCune B. & Moldenke A. (2023): Lichens as material for Lepidoptera's housing: A molecular approach to a widespread and highly selective interaction - Fungal Ecology, 61: 101195

Interactions between lichens and invertebrates are widespread and have evolved independently in several orders of invertebrates. Lichens participate as food, shelter, background for mimicry, or as camouflage for animals to wear. For this study, we discovered caterpillars of the moth family Psychidae living inside bags made from silk and lichens. We used molecular techniques to identify the lichens present and analyzed caterpillar selectivity for lichen species. We selected 13 bags and recovered the … Read more...

Marty C., Fradette O., Faubert P., Bouchard S. & Villeneuve C. (2023): Performance of seedlings of four coniferous species planted in two boreal lichen woodlands with contrasting soil fertility - Forest Ecology and Management, 527: 120601

Lichen woodlands (LWs) are persistent unproductive areas of the Canadian boreal forests whose afforestation may potentially remove significant amounts of anthropogenic C from the atmosphere. The choice of species to be planted is nevertheless uncertain given the particular pedoclimatic conditions prevailing in this habitat as well as the rapidly changing climate at northern latitudes. In this study, we assessed the survival and the growth rates of four boreal coniferous species in two LWs with contrasting … Read more...

Grishkan I. & Temina M. (2023): Composition and diversity of endolichenic microfungal communities from saxicolous lichens at Nahal Boker, the central Negev Desert, Israel - Fungal Ecology, 61: 101196

We studied the endolichenic fungal communities from saxicolous lichens occupying the cobbles at Nahal Boker, the central Negev Desert, Israel. Overall, 101 species belonging to 64 genera were isolated from 12 lichen species collected in three seasons from the south-facing slope (SFS) and north-facing slope (NFS) of the wadi. The endolichenic communities possessed a set of traits, which helped them to cope with harsh internal and external conditions. It included a prevalence of melanin-containing … Read more...

Raggio J., Pescador D., Gozalo B., Ochoa V., Valencia E., Sancho L. & Maestre F. (2023): Continuous monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence and microclimatic conditions reveals warming-induced physiological damage in biocrust-forming lichens - Plant and Soil, 482: 261–276

Purpose Biocrust communities, which are impor- tant regulators of multiple ecosystem functions in drylands, are highly sensitive to climate change. There is growing evidence of the negative impacts of warming on the performance of biocrust constituents like lichens in the field. Here, we aim to understand the physiological basis behind this pattern. Methods Using a unique manipulative climate change experiment, we monitored every 30 minutes and for 9 months the chlorophyll a fluorescence and microclimatic … Read more...

Thakur M., Kapoor B., Kapoor D. & Chander H. (2023): Physiological Alterations and Heavy Metal Accumulation in the Lichen Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl. of Mandi District, Himachal Pradesh - Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 42: 415–422

Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl., foliose lichen is widespread in the region and grows luxuriantly on the various substrata. For the elemental concentration and biochemical parameters, P. cocoes were collected from the Mandi district and were ana- lysed to assess their tolerance to heavy metals. Six parameters were estimated, including total chlorophyll concentration, carotenoid, protein, flavonoid, phenolic content, and heavy metals (Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Nickel, Copper), that are commonly used to determine … Read more...

Ghiloufi W., Yun J., Kim J., Lee J. & Kang H. (2023): The influences of lichens on soil physico-chemical properties, enzymes and microbes are species specific: Insights from South Mediterranean arid ecosystem - Applied Soil Ecology, 181: 104656

Despite recent advances in the ecology of lichens from a community perspective, much remains unknown at the species level particularly in arid regions. In this context, the current study investigated the differential effects of five lichen species dominating South Mediterranean arid ecosystem (Diploschistes diacapsis (Ach.) Lumbsch, Squamarina cartilaginea (With.) P. James, Fulgensia bracteata (Hoffm.) Ra ̈senen, Psora decipiens (Hedw.) Hoffm and Endocarpon pusillum Hedw.) on soil properties as … Read more...

Ayoubi S. & Bahmani S. (2023): Variation of heavy metals, magnetic susceptibility, and some chemical properties in the Lichen-rock interface on various parent rocks in west of Iran - Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 129: 103303

This investigation was directed to explore the impacts of Lecanora Ach. (1809) on magnetic susceptibility, some chemical properties, and heavy metals concentration in the interfaces with interior rocks including andesite, diorite, tuff, and hornblende-gabbro in the west of Iran. In each of the selected rocks, 15 samples of lichen-rock interfaces were excoriated and analyzed for heavy metals, some chemical analyses, and magnetic susceptibility (χ). The results showed that most of metals were reduced … Read more...

Timdal E. (2022): Nephroma tangeriense new to Oceania, from Hawaii - Opuscula Philolichenum, 21: 182-189

Nephroma tangeriense was previously known from Macaronesia, the Mediterranean Basin, and western Europe north to Norway, and is here reported from the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The ITS sequence obtained from the specimen differs from the main European/Macaronesian genotype in only a single nucleotide substitution. A haplotype network of the N. laevigatum group is presented. Biogeography, haplotype network, lichenized fungi, Nephroma washingtoniense, Nephromataceae, Peltigerales Read more...
