Lichens in Forest Park and Nitrogenous Air Pollution [PDF]

, 2014
Lichens have been shown to be useful bioindicators for determining levels of nitrogen deposition related to air pollution. Preliminary lichen surveys in Forest Park in 2011 and 2012 revealed the presence of lichen species associated with high levels of ...

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone

Ecography, EarlyView.
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

100 years of tropical bryophyte and lichen ecology : a bibliographic guide to the literature from 1901 - 2000 [PDF]

, 2002
A list of 401 citations pertaining to the ecology of tropical bryophytes and lichens is presented. The bibliography includes publications addressing the biology, ecology, natural history, and physiology of bryophytes and lichens, but generally eschews ...

Diversity of Lecidea (Lecideaceae, Ascomycota) species revealed by molecular data and morphological characters [PDF]

, 2002
The diversity of lichens, especially crustose species, in continental Antarctica is still poorly known. To overcome difficulties with the morphology based species delimitations in these groups, we employed molecular data (nuclear ITS and mitochondrial ...

Harnessing the power of machine and deep learning for transferring joint species distribution models considering the structure of biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
The transferability of single or joint species distribution models ((j)SDMs) depends on their ability to predict beyond the observed environmental range and to remain consistent despite shifts in biotic interactions. Transfer accuracy may be improved by recent advances in the application of deep learning that provide greater flexibility and potentially

Direct synthesis of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus L.) essential oil-silver nanoparticles (EO-AgNPs) as biopesticides and application for lichen inhibition on stones

Heliyon, 2022
Lemongrass essential oil (Cymbopogon citratus L.) is used directly to kill lichens and has many disadvantages such as being less effective, volatile, and inefficient.

Lichen specific thallus mass and secondary compounds change across a retrogressive fire-driven chronosequence [PDF]

, 2012
In the long-term absence of major disturbances ecosystems enter a state of retrogression, which involves declining soil fertility and consequently a reduction in decomposition rates.

Malignant Transformation of Oral Epithelial Dysplasia in Southern Finland

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) often precedes oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim was to elucidate the risk and time of malignant transformation (MT) of OED. Methods Patients diagnosed with OED between 2001 and 2011 in Helsinki and Uusimaa, Finland were included.

Lichens of six vernal pools in Acadia National Park, ME, USA [PDF]

, 2014
Whereas lichen-habitat relations have been well-documented globally, literature on lichens of vernal pools is scant. We surveyed six vernal pools at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, Maine, USA for their lichen diversity.
