A standard Rhizocarpon nomenclature for lichenometry [PDF]
The terminology of the genus Rhizocarpon, as used by lichenometrists, is at present confused and vague. The failure to differentiate even to the section level has resulted in errors in dating and has made the comparison of growth rates derived for different parts of the world difficult, if not impossible.

Succession of Lichens in Front of Retreating Glaciers in Sweden and Norway. [PDF]
We investigated the succession of lichens in glacier forefields in Sweden and Norway to assess how retreating ice shapes early lichen colonization and diversity patterns. Our results reveal consistent successional trends across sites and highlight the role of time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions in structuring lichen communities ...

Linking extreme waves, coastal boulders and lichenometry [PDF]
Tsunamis and storms cause considerable coastal flooding, numerous fatalities, destruction of structures, and erosion. The characterization of energy and frequency associated with each wave contribute to the risk assessment in coastal regions.

The role of topography in landform development at an active temperate glacier in Arctic Norway
Glacial geomorphological mapping and examination of the structural architecture of moraines and flutes at Fingerbreen, Østre Svartisen, provide evidence for topographic control on the following: (1) drainage conditions at the ice margin, (2) process of moraine formation, (3) moraine spacing and (4) landform preservation potential. This demonstrates the

Moss and underlying soil bacterial community structures are linked to moss functional traits
Abstract Mosses are among the first colonizing organisms after glacier retreat and can develop into thick moss mats during later successional stages. They are key players in N2 fixation through their microbiome, which is an important process for nutrient buildup during primary succession. How these moss–microbe interactions develop during succession is
