Erlandsson R., Bjerke J.W., Finne E.A., Myneni R.B., Piao S., Wang X., Virtanen T., Räsänen A., Kumpula T., Kolari T.H.M., Tahvanainen T. & Tømmervik H. (2022): An artificial intelligence approach to remotely assess pale lichen biomass - Remote Sensing of Environment, 280: 113201 [14 p.]

Although generally given little attention in vegetation studies, ground-dwelling (terricolous) lichens are major contributors to overall carbon and nitrogen cycling, albedo, biodiversity and biomass in many high-latitude ecosystems. Changes in biomass of mat-forming pale lichens have the potential to affect vegetation, fauna, climate and human activities including reindeer husbandry. Lichens have a complex spectral signature and terricolous lichens have limited growth height, often growing … Read more...

Di Biase L., Di Lisio P., Pace L., Arrizza L. & Fattorini S. (2022): Use of lichens to evaluate the impact of post-earthquake reconstruction activities on air quality: A case study from the city of L’Aquila - Biology, 11(8): 1199 [14 p.]

Lichens are widely used as bioindicators of air quality because of their ability to absorb chemical pollutants. We used the Lichen Diversity Value (LDV) index to assess the effects of the urban reconstruction activities in the city of L’Aquila ten years after the 2009 earthquake on air quality. Sampling was conducted from the city centre (still mostly under reconstruction and closed to traffic) to suburban areas (where reconstruction is minimal). We tested if the LDV index varied with distance … Read more...

Firdous Q., Habib K., Khalid A.N. & Aptroot A. (2022): Physcia vitii Nadv. new to south Asia - molecular data - Pakistan Journal of Botany, 54(6): 2341–2345

A species in the genus Physcia was collected from dry temperate ecozones of Pakistan. The critical morpho-anatomical comparison to the known species of the genus revealed it to be P. vitii. Its existence here indicates that it is first report from South Asia and also here been described for the first time on the basis of ITS marker. A taxonomic treatment including a description based on the newly collected material is provided along with a molecular phylogenetic analysis. Key words: New record, … Read more...

Fernández-Prado N., Prieto M., Martínez I. & Aragón G. (2022): Líquenes epífitos de los Tepuyes de la cuenca alta del río Nangaritza, cordillera del Cóndor (Ecuador) - Caldasia, 44(1): 108–118

Tropics harbour the greatest biodiversity in the planet but are still largely unknown. Among these remote areas, there are the Tepuyes of Nangaritza Valley, in the Zamora Chinchipe province, southeastern Ecuador. They constitute isolated mountainous systems with great biological importance and high levels of endemicity. Therefore, the main objective of this study was the elaboration of the first catalogue of epiphytic lichens from several Tepuyes in the Nangaritza Valley. Two expeditions were carried out … Read more...

Ongaro S., Lione G. & Isocrono D. (2022): Composition and conservation value of epiphytic lichen communities on common ash in north-western Alps: A first assessment - Forests, 13: 1288 [13 p.]

In the western sector of the Alps, and particularly in the Aosta Valley, lichenological communities on broad-leaved trees have received very little attention, and information about lichen species associated with common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) are still scanty. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed epiphytic lichen communities of ash trees to estimate their composition, their conservation value, and their association with some key environmental variables. Our results show that lichen communities … Read more...

Kerboua M., Monia A.A., Samba N., Silva L., Raposo C., Díez D. & Rodilla J.M. (2022): Phytochemical composition of lichen Parmotrema hypoleucinum (J. Steiner) Hale from Algeria - Molecules, 27(16): 5229 [25 p.]

In this work, we carried out studies of the chemical composition of hexane, chloroform and ethanol extracts from two samples of the lichen Parmotrema hypoleucinum collected in Algeria. Each sample of the lichen P. hypoleucinum was collected on two different supports: Olea europaea and Quercus coccifera. Hexane extracts were prepared, in Soxhlet; each hexane extract was fractionated by its solubility in methanol; the products soluble in methanol were separated (cold): 1-Hexane, 2-Hexane; and the products … Read more...

Zulfiqar R., Razzaq F., Afshan N., Fayyaz I., Habib K., Khalid A.N. & Paukov A.G. (2022): Three new species of Lobothallia (Megasporaceae, Pertusariales, Ascomycota) from Pakistan and a new combination in the genus - Mycological Progress, 21: 80 [12 p.]

Three new species Lobothallia elobulata, L. iqbalii, and L. pakistanica from Pakistan are described as new to science and illustrated. Lobothallia elobulata is characterized by the absence of lobes, the presence of a distinct black hypothallus, and small, almost sphaeric ascospores 9–12 × 5–8 μm. Lobothallia iqbalii is characterized by its crustose–placodioid thallus with large appressed apothecia, single on areole, a high hymenium, 100–150 μm tall, and absence of prothallus and secondary … Read more...

Totally, 50 species of lichens and one lichenicolous fungus were found. Among them, Acrocordia gemmata, Arthonia radiata, Athallia pyracea, Biatora chrysantha, Catillaria nigroclavata, Chaenotheca phaeocephala, Cladonia cariosa, C. coniocraea, Coppinsidea croatica, Heterocephalacria physciacearum Graphis scripta, Lecaniella naegelii, … Read more...

Perez-Mon C., Stierli B., Plötze M. & Frey B. (2022): Fast and persistent responses of alpine permafrost microbial communities to in situ warming - Science of the Total Environment, 807: 150720 [15 p.]

Global warming in mid-latitude alpine regions results in permafrost thawing, together with greater availability of carbon and nutrients in soils and frequent freeze–thaw cycles. Yet it is unclear how these multifactorial changes will shape the 1 m-deep permafrost microbiome in the future, and how this will in turn modulate microbiallymediated feedbacks between mountain soils and climate (e.g. soil CO2 emissions). To unravel the responses of the alpine permafrost microbiome to in situ warming, … Read more...

Aptroot A., Souza M.F., dos Santos L.A., Oliveira Junior I., Barbosa B.M.C. & Cáceres M.E.S. (2022): New species of lichenized fungi from Brazil, with a record report of 492 species in a small area of the Amazon Forest - Bryologist, 125(3): 433–465

We report a record lichen biodiversity from a small area in the Brazilian Amazon, with 492 identifiable lichen species within nine hectares of protected forest, in the Cristalino Reserve in Mato Grosso, Brazil, collected during one week. This is already an absolute world record, but given our observations while in the field, and the fact that we sampled only a small fraction to the area, we hypothesize that the number of species in this area could be even much higher, well establishing that lichen … Read more...
