Summary 1. It is well-known that vascular plants have species-specific effects on soil properties. However, little is known on how individual species forming biocrusts, communities dominated by lichens, mosses and cyanobacteria that are prevalent in many

A standalone enzyme, derived from the reductase domain of a polyketide synthase‐nonribosomal peptide synthetase hybrid enzyme, is identified as a pyrroline carboxylate reductase. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of 3‐methylproline, an amino acid building block of a unique tricyclic pyrrolizidinone structure of a fungal metabolite ...

Re‐envisioning urban landscapes: lichens, liverworts, and mosses coexist spontaneously with us
Current conceptions of “urban biodiversity” address only particular taxa, ignoring the full richness of species within cities. Despite their exclusion from these conceptions, tree‐dwelling lichens, mosses, and liverworts (collectively, “epiphytes”) are recognized as bioindicators of urbanization, but their inherent contributions to biodiversity are ...

Lichens and lichenicolous fungi of the “Golczewskie Uroczysko” nature reserve (NW Poland)
Lichens of the “Golczewskie Uroczysko” nature reserve were studied in 2007–2008 and 2015–2016. Within the examined area, 68 species of lichens and 5 lichenicolous fungi were observed. Eleven species are included in the red list of threatened lichens in

What's New? About half of penile squamous cell carcinomas are causally associated with inflammatory conditions such as lichen sclerosus (LSc), but few large‐scale studies have assessed the risk of penile cancer in men with LSc. Here, the authors conducted a large nationwide study in Denmark to estimate the risk of penile and non‐penile cancer in men ...
