Extractions: Lichens go to biology Images What is a Lichen Olympic is covered in lichens. Lichens are fungi that have formed symbiotic relationships with algal partners. The fungus provides a protective home, water supply and nutrient source for colonies of algae and/or cyanobacteria. In return for protection, the algal cells turn loose up to 70% of all the sugars harvested from their chlorophyll . The fungus uses these sugars as food. In turn, many animals use lichens as food. Lichens best represent the cooperative relationship of fungal-algal symbiosis. A similar relationship is found between forest fungi and their tree partners. This fungal-tree symbiosis is called a mycorrhizal relationship Lichens as an indicator of air pollution Lichens are intolerant of pollution (especially sulfur dioxide) and are often used as bio-indicators of pollution. Sulfur dioxide destroys chlorophyll and affects respiration. Ozone and heavy metals also damage lichens. As indicators of pollution, lichens have been used by researchers to monitor and determine the health of the atmosphere . Olympic National Park has incredibly clean air.

http://www.nps.gov/dena/pphtml/nature.html

Extractions: (NPS Photo) Denali, the "High One," is the name Athabascan native people gave the massive peak that crowns the 600-mile-long Alaska Range. Denali is also the name of an immense national park and preserve created from the former Mount McKinley National Park. In 1917 Mount McKinley National Park was established as a game refuge. The park and the massif including North Americas highest peak were named for former senator later President William McKinley. In 1980, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) enlarged the boundary by 4 million acres and redesignated it as Denali National Park and Preserve. It exemplifies interior Alaskas character as one of the worlds last great frontiers, its wilderness is largely unspoiled. More than 650 species of flowering plants as well as many species of mosses, lichens, fungi, algae, and others grace the slopes and valleys of Denali. Only plants adapted to long, cold winters and short growing seasons can survive in this subarctic wilderness. Permafrost ground underlies many areas of the park, where only a thin layer of topsoil is available to support life. After the continental glaciers retreated from most of the park 10,000 to 14,000 years ago, hundreds of years were required to begin building new soils and revegetation. The dynamic glaciated landscape provides large rivers, countless lakes and ponds, and unique landforms which form the foundation of the ecosystems that thrive Denali

Extractions: This web site is about the natural history of lichens, or more specifically, about lichens found in Alberta. You will find an explanation of what lichens are , their importance and how to identify common species. Hopefully you will find this a useful way to learn about lichens, how to identify them and about their uses as biomonitors of air pollution, natural dyes, use by animals and as food. Initially, the emphasis of this site will be the natural history of the common lichens within a 100 km radius of Calgary, Alberta, Canada where I live. Keys for identifying the species found in the area have been assembled on the basis of a survey of the published literature conducted over several years. If you wish to find out more detailed information about the species presented here, I recommend you check out the excellent websites and publications listed in the the reference section. You can obtain copies of many of the books at Amazon.com. While the identification keys are meant for the Calgary area, much of the material is relevant for the rest of Alberta, other parts of western Canada, and even portions of the United States and Mexico. This web site is evolving and growing slowing ("hey, it's about lichens right?") and is influenced by input from you. Over time, I hope to provide more complete keys, as well as add links to other

Skip Navigation In this theme Quick links Skip navigation links Lichens are composite organisms comprising, in most cases, an Ascomycete fungus and a unicellular green alga. More than 3100 species are known to occur in Australia and its external territories, representing 396 genera in about 99 families. Lichens are especially diverse in tropical and temperate regions, that is, near the east coast from north Queensland to Tasmania. While species numbers are far smaller in semi-arid and arid parts of the country, their biomass in those regions is considerable and their biological significance profound. Most lichens grow on bare rock, soil or on the bark of trees and shrubs. Their ability to exploit extreme habitats, coupled with the sensitivity of their fungus-alga symbiosis, mean that they not only possess a tangible and important ecological role, but also their diversity and abundance are reliable biological indicators of overall environmental health. Lichens colonise bare rock, over time breaking down the substratum and beginning the process of soil-formation.

Extractions: Education Home Page Exhibits Home Page Lichens are mini-ecosystems consistng of two organisms; a fungus and either a green algae or a blue-green bacterium. Many people mistake them for mosses; however, lichens are unique in the plant kingdom. They live in a symbioic relationship-that is, they use and support each other in a way that allows them to live in places they would not be able to live in alone. They are found mostly on wood or rocks. They do not decompose wood, but they do break down rock material over time. They need sufficient sunlight and moisture to thrive. There are many thousands of types of lichens, but they are divided into three main groups: Lichens are not only fun to observe, but they are also useful in various ways Lichens are very sensitive to air pollution. Because lichens absorb pollutants, scientists often study the number and variety of lichens in an area to determine air pollution levels. Lichens are the main food source for reindeer.

Extractions: BACKGROUND INFORMATION Beginning in 1993 and 1994, managers of the Willamette, Siuslaw, Deschutes, Gifford Pinchot and Mt. Hood National Forests and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area pooled resources to develop a unified approach for biomonitoring air quality using non-vascular plants. They wanted information which would be comparable across Forest boundaries and interface with other Forest, regional and national databases. The primary objectives of the program are to help Forests meet federal and agency responsibilities for the detection and description of air pollution impacts and the protection of Forest air resources. Secondary objectives are to improve our understanding of the ecological roles of non-vascular plants and to develop their potential as indicators of forest health, stability and biodiversity.

Twenty-six taxa were recorded. Two additional genera were observed, but could not be identified to species. Voucher specimens are deposited in the UCR Herbarium, and specimen numbers are shown below. Although some lichens are found throughout the BFS, the greatest concentration, especially of lichens on rocks, is found in the relatively undisturbed Riversidian Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub community in the upper part of the "neck", and this was the area surveyed as indicated on the map to the right. Not surprisingly, the lichen populations at the BFS have been affected by the air pollution in the Los Angeles basin, and many of the lichen species found at the BFS are nitrophytes.

Extractions: Robert Lowe plays bass and sings in 90 Day Men and recently worked with TV On The Radio. 90 Day Men have released three albums and several EPs, rapidly developing from an angular, harsh post-punk band into their current expansive, near-progressive swirl of guitars, keyboards and vocals. Lowe recently worked with TV On The Radio, contributing keyboards and vocals to performances and the upcoming album. He has also collaborated on tour with Castanets. Lichens is Lowe's personal vehicle, created for performance and recording solo and with collaborators. Lichens has performed in Chicago, beginning at the Arthur magazine sponsored Million Tongues Festival in summer 2004 and New York solo and in duos. Lichens live is a transfixing experience, looping wordless vocals into curtains of drone. Lowe adds acoustic and electric guitars, percussion and other effects to create alternately thick and delicate works. Lowe has recorded and released a Lichens CD-R on his own, each hand assembled and released in a limited edition. Lichens contributed a track to the One Bright Sunny Day compilation CD, the debut releases from the Chicago-based IC Recordings label. Further touring is planned. In addition to the release of The Psychic Nature of Being (which is being released on vinyl by the estimable folk/psych/heavy imprint Holy Mountain) Chocolate Industries is releasing a limited edition 7 inch single by Lichens packaged inside a book of art Lowe curated with contributions by Jon Beasley, Justin Schaeffer, Devendra Banhart and others.
