Toetenel H. (2022): Stikstofdepositie, Zandmotor en de korstmossen van Solleveld [Nitrogen deposition, the Sand Motor, and the lichen flora of Solleveld], Buxbaumiella, 123: 16–39

[in Dutch with English abstract: ] This article concerns Solleveld, a small dune area south of The Hague. Solleveld includes a quite narrow stretch of calcareous dunes near the sea and, on the inland side, a larger stretch of non-calcareous dune grasslands, heath vegetation and dune forests. The grasslands and heath vegetation have a well-developed lichen soil vegetation including many species of Cladonia. The article compares two lichen inventories, the first executed in the year 2012, … Read more...

Claerhout T., Jelles H.D. & Keßler P.J.A. (2022): Vierjarig onderzoek naar stedelijke mossen en lichenen gaat van start. Kleine levensvormen, groot belang [Four-year study of urban bryophytes and lichens about to begin. Simple life forms, great importance], Buxbaumiella, 125: 24–27

[in Dutch with English abstract: ] The Hortus botanicus Leiden starts off with the Hidden Biodiversity project in October. Over the following years, this project will concentrate on enigmatic groups of species in an urban context. In this article, we introduce to you Tim Claerhout. As a PhD candidate for the following four years, he will investigate the urban diversity of epiphytic bryophytes and lichens. This will happen under the supervision of the prefect of the Hortus, prof. dr. Paul … Read more...

Verboom L., Verhoogt K. & van Zon S. (2022): Korstmossen in de tuin [Lichens in gardens], Buxbaumiella, 125: 40–46

[in Dutch with English abstract: ] During the Covid period, several enthusiasts investigated the lichens in our gardens. This led to some rare finds. Acarospora cervina is reported for the first time from the Netherlands; it was found on a roof tile in Boerhaar (Overijssel). Other rare species found in our gardens include Lempholemma chalazanum, Alyxoria demutata, Ramonia interjecta, Acarospora moenium and Hyperphyscia lucida. We challenge people to take a closer look at the lichens in … Read more...

Türk A.Ö., Halıcı M.G., Candan M. & Yavuz Y. (2022): The lichenized fungus genus Peltigera in Turkey, Biological Diversity and Conservation, 8(2): 146-156

In this study, we evaluate the Peltigera specimens collected from different habitats in 198 localities from Turkey and 22 Peltigera species are determined. Of these species; Peltigera extenuata (Nyl. ex Vain.) Lojka is new to Turkey. A detailed description of this species is provided. Besides, an identification key to the Peltigera species of Turkey is provided. Read more...

Fariselli R. (2022): The lichens of the Pinewood of Milano Marittima (Emilia-Romagna) (Ascomycota), Quaderno di Studi e Notizie di Storia Naturale della Romagna, 55: 49-52

A little research on the lichens of the Pinewood of Milano Marittima, in the Ravenna coastal plane (Emilia-Romagna Region), was carried out and 12 taxa were found. On the list there are 2 new findings for the province of Ravenna. Read more...

Guo J., Feng H., Roberge G., Feng L., Pan C., McNie P. & Yu Y. (2022): The negative effect of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) monoculture plantations on soil physicochemical properties, microbial biomass, fungal communities, and enzymatic activities, Forest Ecology and Management, 519: 120297

Considerable natural or secondary forests have been converted to plantations in response to the growing needs for timber, paper, and fuel. Soil fungal communities are sensitive to ecosystem transformation and play an important role in aboveground-belowground linkages and biogeochemical cycling. However, the effect of forest conversion on fungal community structure and functions and driving mechanisms remains unclear. We investigated the response of soil fungal communities and the corresponding change … Read more...

Kharuk V.I., Petrov I.A., Im S.T., Golyukov A.S., Dvinskaya M.L. & Shushpanov A.S. (2022): Tree clusters migration into alpine tundra, Siberia, Journal of Mountain Science, 19: 3426-3440

We hypothesize that in mountain windy habitat trees formed clusters (hedges) as adaptive structures for seedlings’ rooting, survival, and tress’ upslope migration. We studied hedges formed by Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica du Tour) and larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) within the treeline ecotone in southern Siberian Mountains, investigated hedges formation, evolution, habitat amelioration, and analyzed tree’s growth index (GI) dependence on the eco-climate variables (air temperature, precipitation, … Read more...

Masumoto H. & Sanders W.B. (2022): The lichen photobiont genus Rhizonema (cyanobacteria) exhibits diverse modes of branching, both false and true, Journal of Phycology, 58(4): 612-625

The recently described genus Rhizonema is among the most important cyanobacterial partners in lichen symbioses, but its morphological characterization in the genus diagnosis—true branching of the T-type—appears at odds with several published figures showing false branching. We investigated cyanobiont branching and cell division with light microscopy in two basidiolichens from Florida and one from Japan, including aposymbiotically cultured material of the latter. Mycobiont species identities … Read more...

Reese Næsborg R., Lau M.K., Michalet R., Williams C.B. & Whitham T.G. (2022): Tree genotypes affect rock lichens and understory plants: Examples of trophic-independent interactions, Ecology, 103(2): e03589 [14 p.]

Genetic variation in foundation tree species can strongly influence communities of trophic-dependent organisms, such as herbivorous insects, pollinators, and mycorrhizal fungi. However, the extent and manner in which this variation results in unexpected interactions that reach trophic-independent organisms remains poorly understood, even though these interactions are essential to understanding complex ecosystems. In pinyon-juniper woodland at Sunset Crater (Arizona, USA), we studied pinyon (Pinus … Read more...

Wicaksono W.A., Braun M., Bernhardt J., Riedel K., Cernava T. & Berg G. (2022): Trade-off for survival: Microbiome response to chemical exposure combines activation of intrinsic resistances and adapted metabolic activity, Environment International, 168: 107474

The environmental microbiota is increasingly exposed to chemical pollution. While the emergence of multi-resistant pathogens is recognized as a global challenge, our understanding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) development from native microbiomes and the risks associated with chemical exposure is limited. By implementing a lichen as a bioindicator organism and model for a native microbiome, we systematically examined responses towards antimicrobials (colistin, tetracycline, glyphosate, and alkylpyrazine). … Read more...
