Lichens Clark Ashton Smith Pale-green and black and bronze and grey, In broken arabesque and foliate star, They cling, so closely grown Upon the sombre stone That one would deem they are As much a part thereof as the design Some vase of Tang or Ming Patterned with blossoms intricate and fine And leaves of alien spring Exempt forever from the year's decay. Fraught with the stillness and the mystery Of time not known to man; Like runes and pentacles of a primeval Unhuman wizardry That none may use nor scan. Bibliographic Details Home Writings Poetry ...

Biological Sciences, University of Paisley Alan Silverside's Lichen Pages Kindrogan Lichens This page has been set up primarily as a means of sharing my photographs from the course run on lichen identification, run by Brian and Sandy Coppins (based at Kindrogan, Perthshire, Scotland, April 2002). I intend to keep it as a teaching resource, illustrating lichen diversity, and maybe I shall add other pictures in time. The exercise may even help me learn a few of them! This is simply a collection of images, though I shall add some of them to our BIODIVERSITY REFERENCE resource, where there will be some added text and perhaps a few photomicrographs. Most of the photographs were taken with a digital camera, but with it usually wobbling on the end of a monopod with little depth of field in limited light; the definition isn't that good in some of them. A few I'm pleased with, though. If the server is slow (commonly the case on weekday afternoons), come back at another time. Index, with thumbnails: Part 1 (A-M) Index, with thumbnails: Part 2 (N-Z)

Lichens Lichens are mutualistic associations of a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium and occur as crusty patches or bushy growths on trees, rocks and bare ground. The names given to lichens strictly refer to the fungal partner; the algae have separate names. Lichens are very sensitive to sulphur dioxide pollution in the air. Since industrialisation, many lichen species have become extinct in large areas of lowland Britain, one example being the beard moss Usnea articulata . This is mainly due to sulphur dioxide pollution, but the loss of habitat, particularly ancient woodland, has also led to reductions in some species. Lichens are sensitive to sulphur dioxide because their efficient absorption systems result in rapid accumulation of sulphur when exposed to high levels of sulphur dioxide pollution. The algal partner seems to be most affected by the sulphur dioxide; chlorophyll is destroyed and photosynthesis is inhibited. Lichens also absorb sulphur dioxide dissolved in water. Lichens are widely used as environmental indicators or bio-indicators. If air is very badly polluted with sulphur dioxide there may be no lichens present, just green algae may be found. If the air is clean, shrubby, hairy and leafy lichens become abundant. A few lichen species can tolerate quite high levels of pollution and are commonly found on pavements, walls and tree bark in urban areas. The most sensitive lichens are shrubby and leafy while the most tolerant lichens are all crusty in appearance. Since industrialisation many of the shrubby and leafy lichens such as

Cladina mitis Green Reindeer Lichen or Yellow Reindeer Lichen Description General - shrub lichen, upright, 4 - 7 cm (sometimes to 10 cm) tall, pale yellowish green, intricately branching from a main stem, not copiously fork-branching from the base; branches hollow, with dull, appressed-cottony surface; end branchlets tending to point in one direction. Habitat Forms mats on ground in open coniferous forest; common and widespread across Northwestern Ontario's boreal forest; circumpolar. Notes Tree reindeer lichen (C. arbuscula) is a similar, closely related species. Its branches tend to be coarser, more copiously branched from the base, and more strongly curved in one direction. The 2 species cannot be separated with certainty in the field, but they are easily identified using chemical tests. Prickle cladonia (Cladonia uncialis) is also similar at first glance, but its spreading branchlets and hard, shiny outer surface readily separate it from the

By the ocean, lichen forms vivid orange streaks on sea-side rocks. In Antarctica, they're the dominant plant life. Lichens can also live in dry environments where they play an important ecological role, retaining moisture and physically binding the soil together. Mosses make their homes anywhere moist from tarred roads and roof tiles to rainforests and bogs. With a combined 5000 or so species of lichens, mosses and liverworts, these vertically-challenged plants make up in numbers what they lack in height.

Saving Graves A collaborative effort of cemetery preservation advocates working to increase public awareness and activism in preserving, protecting and restoring endangered and forgotten historic cemeteries worldwide. Home About Nations Reports ... Site Map REMOVING LICHENS Printer Friendly Version To clear up a common misconception, lichens do not eat the rock, rather they naturally grow on stone surfaces that are available to them, whether these surfaces are naturally occurring or are artifacts of human activity. You will not be helping to preserve the stones by removing the lichen. The gray and orange patches formed by lichens on gravestones give a distinctive character to an old cemetery. These attractive "time-stains" not only enhance the appearance of the churchyard but are often of some rarity for which, like many other organisms, the cemetery is a wildlife sanctuary. Many lichens require a particular type of stone on which to live and, in many lowland districts, the cemetery may be the only undisturbed location in the area for many of these types of stones. A homemade poultice an be produced using Dry porcelain clay mixed to a peanut-butter consistency with equal parts of water and glycerin.

[ESTONIAN LICHENOLOGY] Revision of the Second Updated World List of Cetrarioid Lichens The family Parmeliaceae is one of the greatest families of lichenized fungi, containing more than 80 genera and 1300 species (Hawksworth et al . 1995). In 1965, the Culbersons started the process of segregating smaller genera in the group of cetrarioid lichens by describing the genus Asahinea home page of the Department of Botany, Smithsonian Institution et al . 1997), the issue of valid publication was added to each combination. Unfortunately, a lot of printing and other mistakes can be found in this paper. In the present revision, the mistakes observed by us have been corrected and some further information (e.g. taxa of Bryocaulon ) has been added. Now the checklist includes 138 accepted species of cetrarioid lichens from 23 genera, and about 500 combinations. All epithets and their various combinations that have been applied to species of cetrarioid lichens are listed below in alphabetical order. The generic name to which they were assinged is indicated in square brackets [ ]. The author(s) of each combination, as well as the issue of its valid publication, together with page and year are also presented. The names that are considered correct are written in CAPITALS and bold type and their epithets are numbered. The epithets without numbers are synonyms or they represent species of other, non-cetrarioid genera. The currently accepted combination is indicated for each epithet after the sign of equality (=).

Missouri Conservationist online Current Issue Table of Contents Magazine Archive Subscribe ... Renew Click to Enlarge Looking at Lichens by Doug Ladd Part algae, part fungi, these organisms merit more than a casual glance. Almost everyone is familiar with the term lichen (pronounced "like-in"), but few people know much about these small plantlike organisms. Lichens grow throughout Missouri and are a major contributor to the mosaic of colors in our natural landscape. They grow on all types of rocks and trees in a variety of habitats, and they are an important component of healthy habitats. Lichens often are lumped with mosses or other small plants, although they have little in common except size and habitat because lichens have no roots, stems or leaves. Unlike most animals and leafy plants, a lichen is a fusion of two unrelated organisms. Every lichen is a combination of a fungus and algae or algaelike bacteria. Bread mold, morel mushrooms or the toadstools that sometime grow in our lawns are some familiar fungi. Algae are most familiar to us as the green scum on ponds and other slow-flowing waters. The fungi and algae in lichens are usually different types from their free living relatives. While almost every lichen species has a unique fungus component, we often see the same species of algae in more than one type of lichen.
