Are lichens biocompasses? Revisiting an old prediction using new techniques

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1150-1157, October 2025.
The equator‐facing portions of tree trunks receive direct sunlight and create restrictive microclimate conditions for lichens that orient preferentially towards the Earth's poles where trunks are shaded, indicating an optimal zone at the fine‐scale radial dimension.
