Effect of Melanization on Thallus Microstructure in the Lichen Lobaria pulmonaria
Lichens often grow in microhabitats where they experience severe abiotic stresses. Some species respond to high UV radiation by synthesizing dark brown melanic pigments in the upper cortex. However, unlike the melanized structures of non-lichenized fungi,
