How Thermal Patterns Change During Dehydration in Non‐Vascular Epiphytic Communities [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionLichens and bryophytes, as poikilohydric and poikilothermic organisms, reach equilibrium with their surroundings. However, non‐vascular epiphytic communities contribute to ecosystem functions, such as water and energy balance, by interacting with the ...

Elemental composition of thalli of the lichen Cladоnia stellaris under air pollution
Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2016 The elemental composition of Cladonia lichens in areas affected by the Murmansk Region metal processing industry was investigated. Abnormally high levels of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Fe) were detected in lichens under this impact.
