Ahmadian N., Abedi M., Sohrabi M. & Rosbakh S. (2021): Contrasting seed germination response to moss and lichen crusts in Stipa caucasica, a key species of the Irano-Turanian steppe - Folia Geobotanica, 56: 205–213

Biological soil crusts (BSC) play a crucial role in arid ecosystem functioning, yet the effect of their properties (e.g. whether they are dominated by mosses and lichens) on the germination has rarely been investigated. Here, we analysed the effects of intact, dead and removed moss or lichen BSC on seed germination of Stipa caucasica, a key species in the Iranian Artemisia steppes. Our results revealed that both dead and intact moss BSC significantly and strongly reduced and delayed germination putatively … Read more...

(2024): Plants, fungi, and carabid beetles in temperate forests: both observed and dark diversity depend on habitat availability in space and time - Landscape Ecology, 39: 158 [16 p.]

Context: The loss of ancient forests threatens many species. Effective nature conservation needs information on how forest availability in the surrounding landscape in space and time determines the diversity of multiple taxa. Objectives: We explored the relationship between forest availability at different spatiotemporal scales and the diversity of various groups: vascular plants (woody species, ground layer), epiphytes (bryophytes and lichens), fungi (ectomycorrhizal, arbuscular mycorrhizal, … Read more...

Jonsson B.G. & Jonsell M. (1999): Exploring potential biodiversity indicators in boreal forests - Biodiversity and Conservation, 8: 1417–1433

The present study evaluates indicators in Swedish spruce forests. We ask whether different species groups co-vary in their occurrence and to what extent species richness and composition is predictable from habitat structures. We studied 10 boreal spruce forest stands constituting a gradient in degree of selective logging. Occurrences of vascular plants, bryophytes, epiphytic lichens and wood-inhabiting fungi as well as habitat structures was inventoried. In addition, in five of the stands, beetles … Read more...

Iqbal M.S., Ashraf A., Asghar H.S. & Khalid A.N. (2024): A new species and a new record of the genus Candelariella (Candelariaceae, lichenized Ascomycota) from Pakistan - Nova Hedwigia, 119: 221–231

Candelariella darelensis sp. nov. is described from Darel Valley, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan, an area with a cold semi-arid climate. Its placement within the genus Candelariella Müll.Arg. was validated by a comparative morpho-anatomical investigation and an analysis of ITS sequences. Candelariella darelensis sp. nov. is closely related to C. rosulans (Müll.Arg.) Zahlbr. and characterized by crenulate, subsquamulose thallus areoles with 0.4–0.7 mm wide lobes, 1–1.5 mm wide apothecia with … Read more...

Four taxa viz., Lecidea polypycnidophora, Peltigera ponojensis, Phaeophyscia cernohorskyi and Rinodina milvina belonging to three different families are being reported here as new to Pakistan. Detailed descriptions of each species, habitat, general distribution and diagnostic features are presented along with biochemical analysis. Keywords: foliose; crustose; morphology; phylogeny; nrITS.

Nordén B., Dahlberg A., Brandrud T.E., Fritz Ö., Ejrnaes R. & Ovaskainen O. (2014): Effects of ecological continuity on species richness and composition in forests and woodlands: A review - Écoscience, 21(1): 34–45

Forests and woodlands with a long, uninterrupted presence (continuity) are often associated with high biodiversity and many habitat specialist species. But the mechanisms by which, and the scales in time and space at which, populations are dependent on continuity remain debated. We examine the spatial and temporal scales at which occurrences of plants, fungi, and invertebrates are affected by continuity and consider whether they are restricted by time for colonization (continuity per se) or by habitat … Read more...

[Original Russian text published in Sibirskii Ekologicheskii Zhurnal, 2024, No. 5, pp. 657–668.] Ecosystems of the fjell fields in the Khibiny Mountains (Kola Peninsula) are investigated, including vegetation, soils, soil algae, and invertebrate fauna. We use EUNIS habitat typification (2013) to differentiate habitats. The most common habitat types include (1) crustose–lichen (Rhizocarpon geographicum) rock on eluvium of base-rich, alkaline, and siliceous rocks (U5111); (2) lichen-, sedge-, … Read more...

Berger F. & Zimmermann E. (2023): Weitere Nachweise lichenicoler Pilze im Burgenland (Österreich) - Österreichische Zeitschrift für Pilzkunde, 31: 21–37

Fifty-three species of lichenicolous fungi are reported from the Burgenland, the easternmost province of Austria. Didymocyrtis ramalinae, Lichenochora clauzadei, Minutoexcipula tephromelae, Opegrapha opaca, Pleospora xanthoriae and Stigmidium squamarinicola are reported the first time from Austria. Further 19 taxa are recorded as new for the Burgenland. Key words: Biodiversity, lichenicolous fungi, xerothermic, new records. – Mycobiota of Austria. Read more...
