González-Burgos E., Fernández-Moriano C. & Gómez-Serranillos M.P. (2019): Current knowledge on Parmelia genus: Ecological interest, phytochemistry, biological activities and therapeutic potential, Phytochemistry, 165: 112051

Parmelia Acharius is one of the most representative genera within Parmeliaceae family which is the largest and the most widespread family of lichen-forming fungi. Parmelia lichens present a medium to large foliose thallus and they are distributed from the Artic to the Antartic continents, being more concentrated in temperate regions. According to its current description, the genus encompasses up to 41 different species and it is phylogenetically located within the Parmelioid clade (the largest group … Read more...

Faist A.M., Antoninka A.J., Barger N.N., Bowker M.A., Chaudhary V.B., Havrilla C.A., Huber-Sannwald E., Reed S.C. & Weber B. (2020): Broader Impacts for Ecologists: Biological soil crust as a model system for education, Frontiers in Microbiology, 11: 577922

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are a complex community of algae, cyanobacteria, lichens, bryophytes, and assorted bacteria, fungi, archaea, and bacteriophages that colonize the soil surface. Biocrusts are particularly common in drylands and are found in arid and semiarid ecosystems worldwide. While diminutive in size, biocrusts often cover large terrestrial areas, provide numerous ecosystem benefits, enhance biodiversity, and are found in multiple configurations and assemblages across different … Read more...

Ershov V.V., Lukina N.V., Orlova M.A., Isaeva L.G., Smirnov V.E. & Gorbacheva T.T. (2019): Assessment of soil-water composition dynamics in the North Taiga Forests upon the reduction of industrial air pollution by emissions of a copper—nickel smelter, Contemporary Problems of Ecology, 12(1): 97-108

This work is aimed at assessing the dynamics of the composition of soil waters in coniferous forests subjected to air pollution from the Severonikel’ copper-nickel smelter in Murmansk oblast. The objects of investigations are the most common in boreal zone spruce forests with dwarf shrubs + green mosses and pine forests with dwarf shrubs + lichens. The results show a significant intra- (below the crowns and between the crowns) and interbiogeocenotic (spruce and pine forests) variation in the composition … Read more...

Gheza G. (2019): Addenda to the lichen flora of Val Camonica [Aggiunte alla flora lichenica della val camonica], Natura bresciana: annuario del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Brescia, 42: 51-56

Addenda to the lichen flora of Val Camonica. In spite of its great lichenological potential, the Val Camonica has been poorly investigated. This contribution reports new records of 92 lichen taxa. 27 taxa are reported for the first time in the Val Camonica, while 65, already recorded in the area, are reported from localities which were not previously mentioned. Some species are particularly interesting because of their rarity in Italy: Cladonia bellidiflora, Cladonia crispata, Cladonia decorticata, … Read more...

Jamilano-Llames L.C. & dela Cruz T.E.E. (2025): Comparative antagonistic activities of endolichenic fungi isolated from the fruticose lichens Ramalina and Usnea, Journal of Fungi, 11(4): 302 [23 p.]

Persistent fungal pathogens remain a threat to global food security as these pathogens continue to infect crops despite different mitigating strategies. Traditionally, synthetic fungicides are used to combat these threats, but their environmental and health impacts have spurred interest in a more sustainable, eco-friendly approach. Endolichenic fungi (ELF) are a relatively underexplored group of microorganisms found thriving inside the lichen thalli. They are seen as promising alternatives for developing … Read more...

Cogos S., Östlund L. & Roturier S. (2019): Forest fire and indigenous Sami land use: Place names, fire dynamics, and ecosystem change in Northern Scandinavia, Human Ecology, 47(1): 51–64

During the last two centuries, fire suppression has critically modified boreal ecosystems in northern Scandinavia and has undoubtedly affected indigenous Sami land use. We inventoried Sami toponyms referring to fire in a municipality located in Swedish Sápmi, and investigated their past and present meanings by analyzing Sami dictionaries and conducting semi-structured interviews with Sami reindeer herders. We use toponyms based on the Sami word ‘roavve’ - a lichen-rich pine-heath that has burned … Read more...

Roziaty E., Sutarno, Suntoro S. & Sugiyarto (2020): Ecological indices on lichen biodiversity in three main different areas (the cities, countrysides and the forests) of Jogjakarta and Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, Eurasian Journal of Biosciences, 14(2): 4543-4550

Lichen or commonly termed as is a symbiotic association organism between algae and fungus in nature. It is a non vascular plants. Algae comes from the Cyanobacteria while the fungus derived from Ascomycetes. Fungus needs carbon as food sources and the algae provides from photosynthetic process. Lichen is distributed in terrestrial from tropical to polar habitats. Lichen varies in terms of body size and length. Many investigation had been done to test the lichen as bio indicators. This research aimed … Read more...

Martínez L., Mereles M.F. & Estrabou C. (2019): Contribution to the study of corticolous lichens of the Ybycuí National Park, Department of Paraguarí [Contribución al estudio de líquenes corticícolas del Parque Nacional Ybycuí, Departamento de Paraguarí], Steviana, 11(1): 42-54

The Ybycuí National Park (PNY) is an important area for conservation of representative samples of the forests from the central zone in the Eastern Region of Paraguay. The aim of this study is to identify genera and families of lichens found in the forests of the reserve. Two semi-deciduous forested communities were selected, one riparian and one non-riparian. Only samples of corticolous lichens were collected. Specialized literature was used for the taxonomic identifi-tions and the lichen substances … Read more...

(2019): Biomonitoring of environmental pollution in the vicinity of iron and steel smelters in southwestern Nigeria using transplanted lichens and mosses, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 191(11): 691

This study identified specific emission sources of atmospheric pollution in the vicinity of two secondary iron and steel smelting factories in Osun state, southwestern Nigeria, using transplanted biomonitors. A total of 120 biomonitors consisting of lichen and moss were grown under a controlled environment and later transplanted to the surroundings of each factory for monitoring of air pollutants for 3 months in both wet and dry seasons. The elemental contents (K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, … Read more...

Tamang D. & Sarma M. (2019): A review on survey and documentation of lichen diversity and its bioprospection, NeBIO, 10(3): 164-167

This present paper reviews the lichen diversity around the world with special reference to North eastern region of India, particularly in Assam. The various workers have tried to document the lichen diversity in this one of the biodiversity hotspots region of the world. These exploration works have contributed new additions to lichen species and thereby enriching the biodiversity record of a particular geographical region. Lichens are also known to possess secondary metabolites and are reported to … Read more...
