The lichen flora of freshwater habitats in the Italian Alps is reviewed: 20 genera and 43
species are known, of which crustose lichens with sexual reproduction prevail. Freshwater …

Freshwater habitats of the Italian Alps are largely unexplored and further floristic-ecological
surveys are needed to clarify the role of freshwater lichens in these environments. This …

In Italy several natural reserves include riparian habitats, whose role in lichen conservation
is still unknown. This work aims at improving floristics on freshwater lichens of Italy, and at …

In Italy several natural reserves include riparian habitats, whose role in lichen conservation
is still poorly known. This work aims at evaluating the importance for lichen conservation of a …

Amphibious lichens are widely distributed but little recognized components of freshwater
vegetation. In most assessments of freshwater organisms however, lichens are still …

A contribution to the knowledge of the lichen flora from sandy dunes habitat is provided.
Eighty-seven lichen species are reported from sand dunes and intradunal depressions on …

In Europe studies of epilithic freshwater lichens and their ecology have been carried out for
over a hundred years. A pioneering paper indicative of the zonal distribution of lichens by …

Fourty-nine lichen species are reported from the Lake Burano Nature Reserve (Tuscany,
central Italy). Three taxa are new to Tuscany. In agreement with the climatic features of the …

135 infrageneric taxa of epiphytic lichen were found in 20 stands of tree-line forests of the
Central-Eastern Italian Alps. Three forest types were considered:(1) late successional stands …

Lichens associated with aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats are a specific ecological group of
symbiotic organisms. Distribution patterns, especially those of freshwater lichens and factors …
