Scientists study lichens to learn about air pollution. The healthier the air, the more species of lichen there will be. 1) On your hike, count how many different lichens you can find. Check the box next to each lichen form you find on your hike. 2) Based on your findings, would you consider the area to have good or bad air quality? Air Quality: Crustose Foliose Fruticose Crustose lichens are thin like crust. The lichen’s edges stay flat Foliose lichens look like dry, wavy foliage (leaves). The Fruticose lichens are the most three-dimensional against the object it is growing on. Crustose lichens grow slowly edges curl off the surface the lichen is growing on. lichens.

  • <I>Punctelia</I> from SãO Paulo State, Brazil
    MYCOTAXON Volume 109, pp. 49–61 July–September 2009 Four new species of Punctelia from São Paulo State, Brazil Marcelo Pinto Marcelli1 & Patrícia Jungbluth2 1 [email protected] – 2 [email protected] Instituto de Botânica, Seção de Micologia e Liquenologia Caixa Postal 3005, São Paulo / SP 01061-970, Brazil John A. Elix [email protected] Department of Chemistry, Building 33, Australian National University Canberra, A.C.T. 0200, Australia Abstract — The following new species ofPunctelia are described from remnant cerrado forests in São Paulo State, Brazil: Punctelia crispa, P. digitata, P. imbricata, and P. roseola. A key to the seven species of Punctelia found in the study area is presented. Keywords — Punctelia colombiana, Punctelia constantimontium, Punctelia fimbriata, Punctelia graminicola, Punctelia rudecta, Punctelia appalachensis Introduction The Brazilian cerrado is included in the savanna world biome. It is recognized as one of the world’s five hot spots of biodiversity and threatened vegetation (Fonseca et al. 1999). Cerrado formation is structurally and physiognomically heterogeneous, varying from grasslands (campo limpo) to arboreal structures (cerradão) (Coutinho 1978). In São Paulo State, cerrado vegetation originally occupied 20% of the territory, but at present only ca. 1% of the original area remains (Zorzetto et al. 2003). In an ongoing effort to describe and document the biodiversity of the lichenized mycota, a survey of Parmeliaceae in remnant cerradoes in inland São Paulo State was performed (Jungbluth 2006). Several new species were recognized, as expected in such a diverse biome (Jungbluth et al. 2008). Thirty species of Punctelia are known worldwide (Egan & Aptroot 2004), sixteen of which are recorded for Brazil (Marcelli 2004).

    Opuscula Philolichenum, 15: 56-81. 2016. *pdf effectively published online 25July2016 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) Lichens, lichenicolous fungi, and allied fungi of Pipestone National Monument, Minnesota, U.S.A., revisited M.K. ADVAITA, CALEB A. MORSE1,2 AND DOUGLAS LADD3 ABSTRACT. – A total of 154 lichens, four lichenicolous fungi, and one allied fungus were collected by the authors from 2004 to 2015 from Pipestone National Monument (PNM), in Pipestone County, on the Prairie Coteau of southwestern Minnesota. Twelve additional species collected by previous researchers, but not found by the authors, bring the total number of taxa known for PNM to 171. This represents a substantial increase over previous reports for PNM, likely due to increased intensity of field work, and also to the marked expansion of corticolous and anthropogenic substrates since the site was first surveyed in 1899. Reexamination of 116 vouchers deposited in MIN and the PNM herbarium led to the exclusion of 48 species previously reported from the site. Crustose lichens are the most common growth form, comprising 65% of the lichen diversity. Sioux Quartzite provided substrate for 43% of the lichen taxa collected. Saxicolous lichen communities were characterized by sampling four transects on cliff faces and low outcrops. An annotated checklist of the lichens of the site is provided, as well as a list of excluded taxa. We report 24 species (including 22 lichens and two lichenicolous fungi) new for Minnesota: Acarospora boulderensis, A. contigua, A. erythrophora, A. strigata, Agonimia opuntiella, Arthonia clemens, A. muscigena, Aspicilia americana, Bacidina delicata, Buellia tyrolensis, Caloplaca flavocitrina, C. lobulata, C.

  • A Preliminary Lichen Checklist of the Redstone Arsenal, Madison County, Alabama
    Opuscula Philolichenum, 17: 351-361. 2018. *pdf effectively published online 12October2018 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) A Preliminary Lichen Checklist of the Redstone Arsenal, Madison County, Alabama CURTIS J. HANSEN1 ABSTRACT. – Lichens were surveyed across nine ecologically sensitive areas of the U.S. Army’s Redstone Arsenal in Madison County, Alabama. From a total of 464 collections, 151 species in 64 genera were identified, including 12 state records and three new species currently being described. Prior to this study, only eight lichen species had been documented from the Redstone Arsenal and less than 40 were known from Madison County. Newly reported lichens for Alabama include Caloplaca pollinii, Clauzadea chondrodes, Enchylium coccophorum, Hypotrachyna dentella, Lepraria xanthonica, Phaeophyscia hirsuta, Phaeophyscia leana, Physciella chloantha, Physconia leucoleiptes, Physconia subpallida, Punctelia graminicola, and Usnea halei. Results from this study represent the first lichen survey of the Redstone Arsenal and will serve as a baseline for future studies. KEYWORDS. – Lichen biodiversity, North America, northern Alabama, southern Highland Rim, Tennessee Valley, United States. INTRODUCTION Lichens of northern Alabama are poorly studied and virtually no records have been published from Madison County. Though many papers documenting lichens from nearby regions exist, including the Great Smoky Mountains (Lendemer et al. 2013) and Southern Appalachian Mountains (Dey 1978), there are no published lichen reports from this area of northern Alabama. One state-wide checklist documented two lichen species from Madison County (Hansen 2003). A search of the Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria (CNALH 2017) resulted in only 38 lichen specimens from Madison County, including eight from Redstone Arsenal (hereafter abbreviated RA).

Filippini, Juan M. Rodriguez & Cecilia Estrabou (*) Abstract: Filippini, E.R., Rodriguez, J.M. & Estrabou, C. Lichen community from an endangered forest under different management practices in central Argentina. Lazaroa 35: 55-63 (2014). We studied a lichen community from 300 ha of native Espinal forest under different types of management, classified into the following sectors: temporary grazing, adjacent crops, landscaped, and conserved. We observed 20 trees in each sector, identified lichen species and measured coverage in grids of 0.2 x 0.2 m. We compared alpha and beta diversity plus coverage by sector using the kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. We also applied a Multiple Response Permutation Procedure, a Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling multivariate analysis and the Indicator Species Analysis to test asso - ciations. We found 34 species of lichens. Physciaceae was the dominant family in the community. Total lichen coverage was highest in the temporary grazing sector and lowest in the conserved sector. No significant differences were found in alpha diversity among sectors; however, beta diversity was higher in the conserved sector. Multivariate analysis also showed that different management practices determine changes in community composition. Keywords: grazing, native forest, Physciaceae , Espinal, composition.

Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 126(2):129–152 LICHENS AND ALLIED FUNGI OF THE INDIANA FOREST ALLIANCE ECOBLITZ AREA, BROWN AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA INCORPORATED INTO A REVISED CHECKLIST FOR THE STATE OF INDIANA James C. Lendemer: Institute of Systematic Botany, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126 USA ABSTRACT. Based upon voucher collections, 108 lichen species are reported from the Indiana Forest Alliance Ecoblitz area, a 900 acre unit in Morgan-Monroe and Yellowwood State Forests, Brown and Monroe Counties, Indiana. The lichen biota of the study area was characterized as: i) dominated by species with green coccoid photobionts (80% of taxa); ii) comprised of 49% species that reproduce primarily with lichenized diaspores vs. 44% that reproduce primarily through sexual ascospores; iii) comprised of 65% crustose taxa, 29% foliose taxa, and 6% fruticose taxa; iv) one wherein many species are rare (e.g., 55% of species were collected fewer than three times) and fruticose lichens other than Cladonia were entirely absent; and v) one wherein cyanolichens were poorly represented, comprising only three species. Taxonomic diversity ranged from 21 to 56 species per site, with the lowest diversity sites concentrated in riparian corridors and the highest diversity sites on ridges. Low Gap Nature Preserve, located within the study area, was found to have comparable species richness to areas outside the nature preserve, although many species rare in the study area were found only outside preserve boundaries. Sets of rare species are delimited and discussed, as are observations as to the overall low abundance of lichens on corticolous substrates and the presence of many unhealthy foliose lichens on mature tree boles.
