Currently, forest ecosystems are often located in remote areas, far from direct sources of air
pollution. Nonetheless, they may be affected by different types of atmospheric deposition …

An updated catalogue of all lichens hitherto known from Italy which includes, for 2704
infrageneric taxa, bibliographic references (from 1993 to 2016) for each of the 21 …

Defined broadly, a habitat model represents a relationship between a species and factors
that control its existence. The performance of a species in relation to those factors can be …

Climate change and the anthropic emission of pollutants are likely to have an accelerated
impact in high-elevation mountain areas. This phenomenon could have negative …

Abstract In this research,(−)-usnic acid and (+)-usnic acid, commonly encountered lichen
secondary metabolites, were evaluated for their insecticidal effects against the larvae of …

The foundational concept for our research, which is largely shared by statisticians and
ecologists, is that biodiversity is one of the most important indicators for environmental …

While changing climatic conditions may directly impact species distribution ranges, indirect
effects related to altered biotic interactions may exacerbate range shifts. This situation fully …

We investigated lichen diversity in temperate oak forests using standardized protocols. Forty-
eight sites were sampled in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The effects of …

The use of lichens as ecological surrogates has been an important tool to evaluate the
impact of air pollution in both ecosystem and human health but remains underused in the …
