Lichens occur in most terrestrial ecosystems; they are often present as minor contributors,
but in some forests, drylands and tundras they can make up most of the ground layer …

This paper provides an overview of bioclimatic models applied to lichen species, supporting
their potential use in this context as indicators of climate change risk. First, it provides a brief …

This review is a first attempt to combine and compare spatial distribution of the three main
water sources, rain, dew and humid air, with water-related traits of mainly epiphytic …

This study of elevation gradients of lichen species richness in Nepal aimed to compare
distribution patterns of different life-forms, substratum affinities, photobiont types, and …

Across environmental gradients, community‐level functional traits of plants can change due
to species turnover, intraspecific variation and their covariation. Studies on vascular plants …

Cyanolichens (Lobaria hallii, Lobaria retigera, Lobaria scrobiculata, Pseudocyphellaria
anomala) and cephalodial (Lobaria pulmonaria) and noncephalodial (Platismatia glauca) …

Identifying lichen traits that influence hydration and photosynthetic reactivation kinetics in
humid air provides insight into niche preferences. Water vapor uptake and concurring …

Understanding the species richness and β-diversity patterns along elevation gradients can
aid in formulating effective conservation strategies particularly in areas where local …

This review considers various aspects of the growth of foliose lichens including early growth
and development, variation in radial growth rate (RaGR) of different species, growth to …

We measured the water holding capacity per area (WHC A; mg H 2 O cm− 2), and thus the
saturating rainfall (mm), for sympatric cyano-(Lobaria scrobiculata and Pseudocyphellaria …
