Vegetation indices are corner stones in vegetation monitoring. However, previous field
studies on lichens and NDVI have been based on passive sensors. Active handheld …

Five macrolichens of different thallus morphology from Antarctica (King George Island) were
used for this ecophysiological study. The effect of thallus desiccation on primary …

Mosses are considered highly resistant against desiccation because they maintain
photosynthetic activity even when severely dehydrated. In our study, we investigated …

Lichens survive harsh weather of Antarctica as well as of other hostile environments
worldwide. Therefore, this investigation is important to understand the evolution of life on …

We studied the resistance of Parmotrema austrosinense to UV‐B stress. We focused on the
effects of a high dose UV‐B radiation on the content of chlorophylls, carotenoids and UV‐B …

Lichens, in polar and alpine regions, pass through repetitive dehydration and rehydration
events over the years. The harsh environmental conditions affect the plasticity of lichen's …

In maritime Antarctica, lichens and mosses represent dominant autotrophs forming
community structure of vegetation oases. In our study, we selected 4 most common lichen …

This study was conducted to identify the effects of NaOCl, ClO₂, and Chrysal OVB, which
are the solutions used for shipping, on the quality and vase life of chrysanthemum …

Lichens, in polar and alpine regions, pass through repetitive dehydration and rehydration
events over the years. The harsh environmental conditions affect the plasticity of lichen's …

Predation is one of the strongest and most important selection pressures to be faced in the
animal kingdom. Indeed, it is from this central biological problem of defence and self …
