Chowaniec K., Szafrańska K. & Skubała K. (2026): Biocrust heterogeneity drives water balance in the topsoil of temperate sandy post-mining ecosystem, Journal of Soil Sediments, 26: 181 [18 p.]

Purpose: Sandy habitats in temperate regions include a range of anthropogenic and semi-natural ecosystems, such as post-mining areas. Such environments face severe ecological constraints due to coarse soil texture, low nutrient content, and poor water retention. Among natural recovery processes, biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play a key role in shaping soil hydrology and surface stability. Keywords: Biological soil crust · Temperate climate · Water balance · Ecosystem resilience · Post-mining … Read more...

Kurakov A.V., Bibikov N.M., Bilanenko E.N., Kokaeva L.Yu., Abakumov E.V., Zherebiatyeva N.V. & Soromotin A.V. (2026): Mycobiota of Podzol Turbic under Reindeer Pastures in Tundra of the Yamal Peninsula, Eurasian Soil Science, 59: 102 [15 p.]

The diversity and structure of fungal communities in the Entic Podzol (Turbic) under variously disturbed reindeer pastures on the Yamal Peninsula were examined by the cultural method and DNA metabarcoding. We isolated 29 species from 16 genera of fungi assigned to the phyla Ascomycota and Mucoromycota by plating method and 434 OTUs of seven phyla (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Glomeromycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucoromycota, Olpidiomycota, and Rozellomycota) by DNA metabarcoding (251 OTUs were identified … Read more...

Pérez-Rodrigo M., Moya P., Arenzana C., Garrido-Benavent I., Barreno E., Mark K., Peksa O., Westberg M., Carrasco P. & Marco F. (2026): Poikilohydria, polyols, and homeoviscosity: lichen metabolomic remodeling across environmental gradients , Frontiers in Plant Science, 17: 1792494 [14 p.]

Introduction: Lichens are poikilohydric organisms whose biochemistry is strongly shaped by environmental conditions, yet their metabolome-wide adaptations across habitats remain unexplored. Methods: Here, we established a continent-scale reference for the in-situ metabolome of the model lichen Ramalina farinacea, from thalli collected across six European regions during winter and summer, using untargeted GC-MS. Results: In total, 187 small molecules were annotated, including a compact core of … Read more...

Kaufmann S., Hauck M. & Leuschner C. (2018): Effects of natural forest dynamics on vascular plant, bryophyte, and lichen diversity in primeval Fagus sylvatica forests and comparison with production forests, Journal of Ecology, 106(6): 2421–2434

Stand structure, mean tree age, deadwood amount and microclimate all change markedly in the course of natural forest dynamics. The last remaining primeval forests of the temperate forest biome are valuable study objects to investigate the effects of forest dynamics and management on forest structure and function as well as phytodiversity, which is not sufficiently understood. Three pairs of Fagus sylvatica primeval and production forests in eastern Slovakia were selected for studying the effects … Read more...

Timdal E. & Spribille T. (2026): Ophioparma rubricosa confirmed for Europe, Graphis Scripta, 38(2): 10–17

The western North American lichen species Ophioparma rubricosa is reported new to Northern Europe from a collection in Southeast Norway, thus confirming its occurrence in Europe. It was previously reported outside North America with some doubt from one locality in Sardinia, Italy, and from one locality in China. The species grew on dry wood of an old pine stump in an open, middle to northern boreal pine forest bordering a mire. DNA sequences are presented from the species for the first time. … Read more...

Mollinedo P., Vila J.L., Nogales-Ascarrunz P. & Apaza Ticona L. (2026): QSAR Analysis of Lichen Depsides and Derivatives: Electronic Descriptors as Predictors of Antioxidant Activity via PLS-1, Antioxidants, 15(5): 584 [15 p.]

The antioxidant activity of natural and semi-synthetic depsides and benzofurans—including R-(+)-usnic acid (1), dibenzoyl usnic acid (2), atranorin (3), 2,4-bis(benzoyloxy)atranorin (4), 4-O-methyl atranorin (5), decarboxythamnolic acid (6), thamnolic acid (7), and perlatolic acid (8)—was evaluated in this study. Natural compounds were isolated from selected lichen species, whilst semi-synthetic derivatives were prepared to investigate the influence of esterification and methylation on electronic … Read more...

Opiña L.A., Bagacay J.F.E., Siccio M.A., Sara F.R., Canto C.M., Silaras M.L., Ynion G.P.L.Q. & Calabon M.S. (2026): Philippine mycology II: an integrative taxonomic classification of novel Basidiomycota, basal fungi, and fungus-like phyla from the Philippines, Phytotaxa, 753(1): 1–69

The Philippines possesses significant fungal diversity, although comprehensive taxonomic assessments remain scarce. This study presents an overview of novel Basidiomycota, basal fungi, and fungus-like taxa identified in the Philippines, based on an extensive review of published records from fungal repositories. A total of 412 Basidiomycota species have been documented, encompassing 24 genera, 65 families, 24 orders, and 7 classes (Agaricomycetes, Dacrymycetes, Exobasidiomycetes, Microbotryomycetes, … Read more...

Di Nuzzo L., Agostini M., Benesperi R., Ravera S., Bianchi E., Corneti S., Del Vecchio S., Francesconi L., Gheza G., Paoli L. & Nascimbene J. (2026): Are seasonal acclimation and genetic variability of Lobaria pulmonaria relevant for conservation translocation? A case study along a latitudinal gradient in Italy, Plants, 15(9): 1342 [18 p.]

Understanding the factors that determine the success of lichen translocations is critical for effective conservation of lichen biodiversity. Both physiological acclimation and the genetic structure of source populations can influence conservation outcomes. This study examined seasonal variation in physiological parameters (specific thallus mass—STM, chlorophyll a fluorescence—FV/FM, and chlorophyll content) of Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. across one year, selecting three source populations … Read more...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a highly transmissible novel coronavirus, sparked the global pandemic, COVID-19, in 2020. Research primarily targeted specific drugs to block this virus, with natural products emerging as promising and reliable treatments. Lichens represent a valuable source of antiviral drugs. Specific secondary metabolites present in lichens with known antiviral properties have been researched. The current work focussed on the molecular docking of antiviral … Read more...
