Belguidoum A., Haichour R., Lograda T. & Ramdani M. (2022): Biomonitoring of air pollution by lichen diversity in the urban area of Setif, Algeria, Biodiversitas, 23: 970–981

The use of living organisms in air quality monitoring has received increasing attention in recent years. Lichens, pioneer and colonizing organisms, are directly sensitive to environmental changes. This results in a loss of vitality or complete destruction of the thallus. The objective of this study is to assess and map the air quality of the Setif region, Algeria by lichens, using bio-indication indices. For air quality assessment, lichen species frequency, the Shannon-Wiener index, Atmospheric Purity … Read more...

Breuss O. & Berger F. (2022): A new Staurothele species (lichenized Ascomycota, Verrucariaceae) from Spain, Österreichische Zeitschrift für Pilzkunde, 30: 43–47

Staurothele maculosa from southern Spain is described as new. It is terricolous (on gypsiferous soil) and characterized by a greenish spotted thallus, fully immersed perithecia with a dimidiate involucrellum, long bacilliform hymenial algal cells, thick periphysoids and comparatively small, hyaline ascospores. A key to the six terricolous Staurothele species is provided. Key words: Lichens, taxonomy, gypsum soil, sp. nov. ‒ Mycobiota of Spain. – 1 new species. Read more...

Biswas S., Daimari R., Islary P., Nayaka S., Upreti D.K. & Sarma P.K. (2022): Pyrenula chlorospila (Nyl.) Arnold (Pyrenulaceae), a new addition to lichen biota of India, Check List, 18(4): 773–777

Climatic conditions and physical features of the Eastern Himalayan region encompasses a rich diversity of lichen biota. However, the region’s lichens are still far from extensively explored. Here, we study the genus Pyrenula Ach. from the Dhubri district of Assam in North-East India. Twelve species of Pyrenula have been recorded, of which one of the species, P. chlorospila (Nyl.) Arnold, is a newly reported from India. Morphotaxonomic comments on this species, emphasizing its distribution, … Read more...

[Larina O.A. & Smirnova E.S.] (2022): Анализ видового состава лишайников сосново-березового леса в окрестностях озера Большой Кызыкуль (Минусинский район, Красноярский край) [The analysis of specific structure of lichens of the pine and birch wood in the neighborhood of Big Kyzykul Lake (Minusinsky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai)], Самарский научный вестник [Samara Journal of Science], 11(4): 64–70

[in Russian with English abstract: ] The paper presents a multidimensional analysis of pine-birch forest lichens in the vicinity of Big Kyzykul Lake (Minusinsky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai). The studies on the species composition of lichens were conducted from 2013 to 2016. The material was collected in the summer and autumn months by the route method. Based on the authors’ own collections, the species composition of lichens was determined for the first time, including 46 species from 22 genera … Read more...

Karmacharya N., Upreti D.K. & Chettri M.K. (2022): Distribution pattern of corticolous lichens in different areas of Kathmandu valley, Nepal, Banko Janakari, 32(2): 3–18

This study attempts to document the lichen species and their distribution in different areas of Kathmandu valley, Nepal. Twenty sampling sites with different degrees of air pollution categorized as disturbed (industrial, heavy traffic and residential areas) and undisturbed areas (clean area) were selected for the study. Sampling was done using the quadrat method. To enumerate the total number of lichen species found in Kathmandu valley, lichen specimens were collected from inside as well as outside … Read more...

Chapter in book. Lichen is a composite organism lives in symbiotic relationship between algae and cyanobacteria. Lichens are plant-like, can be found living on plant, rocks and buildings. On plants, lichens can be found on barks, leaves and roots. This study aimed to create a checklist of lichen species found on trees at Bidong Island, Terengganu and to determine the relationship between lichens species with its host tree species. Observation of lichens’ characteristics was done using … Read more...
