The symbiosis between algae and fungi enables lichens to colonise various apparently
hostile places, like high mountains and deserts. However, the sensitive balance between the …

The value of lichens for both past and present environmental interpretation and for
modelling future changes is demonstrated by reference to detailed and widescale …

Lichens are traditionally cited as the prime example of mutual symbiosis in the plant
kingdom. Scientifically fascinating, they are now receiving increasing attention by applied …

Widespread changes in natural and managed environments in the last century have been
associated with rapid development of technology with the capacity for massive destruction of …

We investigated the response of epiphytic lichens to air pollution, against the background of
other ecological predictors in a prealpine heterogeneous area, using Non-Parametric …

Lichen-forming fungi are mutualistic symbiotic organisms. The mycobiont coexists with one
or more algal or cyanobacterial photobionts. Conservation biology of lichens deals …

Among the different organisms, lichens are considered as one of the best bioindicators of
environmental changes either due to natural or man-made disturbances. Lichens show …

As an intricate association between a fungus and one or more green algae or
cyanobacteria, lichens are one of the most successful examples of symbiosis. These …

Erasmus Darwin observed how lichens failed to grow near Copper Smelters at Parys
Mountain in Wales over 200 years ago. But it was not until sulphur dioxide, a product of fuel …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms susceptible to environmental alteration due to their
morphological and physiological features. For this reason, researchers and decision-makers …
