Wahab H., Wahab A., Anwar A., Uddin S., Alwahibi M.S., Elshikh M.S., Ahmad S., Iqbal R. & Khalid A.N. (2025): A new species of the lichen genus Lepraria (Lecanorales: Stereocaulaceae) from Pakistan, Phytotaxa, 708(2): 197–207

Lepraria malakandensis is described as new to science, based on morpho-anatomical, chemical, and phylogenetic investigations. The new taxon is characterized by leprose, white-grey to greenish-grey thallus with atranorin, zeorin, stictic acid, and constictic acid. Phylogenetic study of available sequencing data unambiguously distinguishes L. malakandensis from other species in the genus. A detailed description, illustrations and a comparison with related taxa is also provided. Key words: Lepraria, … Read more...

Adams I., Curtis T. & Pogacnik J. (2019): Hidden Lake Cladonia colony, OBELISK: Newsletter of the Ohio Moss and Lichen Association, 16: 22-26

On June 7 2019, about 20 volunteers joined a bioblitz at Hidden Lake Metropark (111 acres) in Leroy Township, Ohio. While most surveyed fauna and flora, Ian Adams focused on lichens. He discovered several foliose lichens on hardwoods around the 9‑acre man-made lake. Later, with biologist John Pogacnik and son Shaun, he explored an adjacent old field—once a Phragmites-infested farm field, restored since 2006—which now hosts a notable Cladonia population. Over two hours, nine species were … Read more...

El'kina G.Y., Deneva S.V. & Lapteva E.M. (2019): Heavy metals in soil-plant system in biogeocenoses of the Bolshezemelskaya Tundra, Theoretical and Applied Ecology, 2019(3): 41-47

Biological cycle, content, and stocks of heavy metals in plant organic matter are an interesting study topic for both ecological description of biogeocenoses and ecological monitoring. The biocenosis includes three plant communities as dwarf shrub-mossy (65.6), dwarf shrub-lichen-mossy (17.9), and dwarf shrub-lichen (16.5% of total area) communities. Soils are Histic Turbic Cryosols under dwarf shrub-mossy community and Histic Cryosols under lichens. Weight fraction of elements in samples was measured … Read more...

Popova E. (2019): Heavy metals in lichens and their substrata of roadside phytocenoses in the south of the Tyumen region, Russia, Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 1145(1): 012025

The paper presents an analysis of the peculiarities of the accumulation process for the following heavy metals: Pb, Zn, Sr, and Cu in the bark of Betula pendula Roth (photophyte) and lichens Cladonia coniocraea (Flörke) Spreng., Cladonia fimbriata (L.) Fr., Physconia distorta (With.) J. R. Laundon, Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl. The study sites were located in five administrative zones in the south of the Tyumen region, Russia: Uporovsk region, Zavodoukovsk region, Yalutorovsk region, Yarkovsky … Read more...

Kumari A. (2019): Heavy metals accumulation and physiological changes in the lichens growing in the cicinity of coal-based thermal power of Kanti (Muzaffarpur), Bihar, India, International Journal of Plant and Environment, 5(3): 165-169

The present study was designed with an aim to observe the effect of increasing pollution level on native lichen diversity, metal accumulation and physiological changes around a coal-based thermal power plant of Kanti, Muzaffarpur districts of Bihar, India. Three lichen species namely Phaeophyscia hispidula (Ach.) Essl, Physcia dilatata Nyl., and Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl., were found growing in their natural habitat in vicinity of fly ash. Among these, Physcia dilatata Nyl., a common foliose lichen, … Read more...

Abed R.M.M., Tamm A., Hassenrück C., Al-Rawahi A.N., Rodríguez-Caballero E., Fiedler S., Maier S. & Weber B. (2019): Habitat-dependent composition of bacterial and fungal communities in biological soil crusts from Oman, Scientific Reports, 9: 6468

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) occur within drylands throughout the world, covering ~12% of the global terrestrial soil surface. Their occurrence in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula has rarely been reported and their spatial distribution, diversity, and microbial composition remained largely unexplored. We investigated biocrusts at six different locations in the coastal and central deserts of Oman. The biocrust types were characterized, and the bacterial and fungal community compositions … Read more...

Kaushik A. & Giri P.P. (2020): Natural alternatives in textiles Finishing, Lichen‐Derived Products, 2020 : 179-187

Use of natural compounds in textiles industry for coloring and finishing is not an avant-grade practice but it has been a part of ancient practice in textile manufacturing. However, currently used practices in textile words majorly use synthetic products and compounds and everyday piling the environment with tons of hazardous chemicals. The readvent of natural materials for textile functionalization to replace synthetics and harmful products from textile industry is the need of hour. Natural dyes … Read more...

Kulk on the twigs of Avicennia officinalis from Nagayalanka lighthouse of Krishna estuary, Andhra Pradesh and Ramalina leiodea (Nyl.) Nyl. on the twigs of Ceriops decandra from Bhitarkanika island of Mahanadi estuary, Orissa state are reported. Both the species are new records on the mangroves of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa states of India. Read more...

Fernández-Marín B., Buchner O., Kastberger G., Piombino F., García-Plazaola J.I. & Kranner I. (2019): Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions, Plant Methods, 15(1): 147

Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) enables non-invasive assessment of the viability of individual "orthodox" (i.e. desiccation tolerant) seeds upon water uptake. However, this method was not tested for rehydrating tissues of other desiccation tolerant life forms. Furthermore, evaporative cooling could obscure the effects of … Read more...
