We characterize lichen flora of Slovakia based on the review recent studies published since 1998, point at selected taxa described for science from this territory and outline main geographical elements other important groups. annex critically revised updated checklist lichens Slovakia, which includes 1,628 species. As a result intensive field work number species increased by 142 new last version 15 years ago, 26 were excluded.
Abstract The epiphytic lichen Evernia prunastri is sensitive to air pollution and reacted by total retreat the worsening of quality during peak SO 2 in Central Europe (1950s–1990). Since 1990, after a significant decrease pollution, lichens recolonized previously polluted areas, including E. . We investigated physiological status , transplanted for six months 34 sites urban area Bratislava (Slovakia) under current conditions. content chlorophylls, cortical medullar secondary metabolites...
In this contribution, new data concerning algae, bryophytes, fungi and lichens of the Italian flora are presented. It includes records confirmations for algal genera Chara Nitella , bryophyte Brachythecium Didymodon Fissidens Physcomitrium Riccia fungal Biatoropsis Cantharellus Coprinellus Dacrymyces Inosperma Nigropuncta Urocystis Xanthoriicola lichen Arthonia Bellemerea Circinaria Lecania Lecanora Lecidella Mycobilimbia Naetrocymbe Parmelia Peltigera Porpidia Scytinium Usnea .
Recently indoor air quality (IAQ) has become a key issue, especially in schools, where children spend most of the day. Only few cases IAQ was investigated using lichens as biomonitors. During autumn 2017, (Evernia prunastri) were exposed for two months indoors and outdoors public (schools) private (dwellings) environments, both rural urban areas Slovakia. The bioaccumulation selected elements physiological status samples considered. content heavy metals increased 11 out 12 (Al, As, Cd, Cr,...
Abstract An ecological biogeographical perspective provides an understanding of the factors that shape geographical distribution organisms, their biodiversity and speciation. Focusing on members lichen genus Solenopsora , which are strongly linked to a Mediterranean-type climate, we aimed depict environmental niches in Apennine Peninsula. This area represents optima, as well centre distribution. On basis occurrences congeners, identified key niches. Applying ensemble approach, merges results...
We studied the ecological requirements of two closely related species lichens, Solenopsora cesatii and S. candicans, which grow predominantly on basic rocks in natural habitats. determined niches they occupy at centre their distribution (Mediterranean Basin) where occur sympatrically areas with a continental climate (Western Carpathians Pannonia) limits ranges, are geographically segregated, order to assess level differentiation across distributions. Tests niche equivalency similarity...
Interesting findings of 100 lichens from the Bukovské vrchy Mts (Biosphere Reserve Poloniny, Slovak part) are reported as result recent survey work. Two species new for Slovakia: <em>Fellhanera gyrophorica</em> and <em>Rinodina efflorescens</em>, 34 first time studied area. The records country shortly commented well ecological aspects <em>Agonimia repleta, Strigula stigmatella, Gyalecta ulmi</em> <em>Belonia herculina</em>.
The lichen genus Solenopsora occurs predominantly in temperate and subtropical regions of the world, centre diversity distribution is Mediterranean, Macaronesian, Madrean floristic regions. Taxonomic treatment several taxa has varied over time concepts lack clarity. Focusing on multilocus sequence data, morphology, anatomy, chemistry, ecological preferences, present study investigates European to obtain first insights into their genetic variation relationships. Our results show discrepancy...
Forest management practices may heavily affect epiphytic cryptogams. This study was conceived in March 2016, as soon we were informed about an authorized logging for timber within a Mediterranean mixed oak forest Tuscany (central Italy), which threatened large population of the macrolichen Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm., composed hundreds fertile thalli. is often used ecological indicator high quality habitats hosting rare lichens, and general, cryptogams worthy conservation. The species has...
Species translocation can be considered as a primary conservation strategy with reference to in situ conservation. In the case of lichens, translocations often risk fail due stress factors associated unsuitable receptor sites. Considering bioecological characteristics air pollution is among most limiting factors. this study, forest macrolichen Lobaria pulmonaria was used model test hypothesis that sensitive lichens effective only unpolluted environments. At purpose, 500 fragments or whole...
Forest management practices may heavily impact epiphytic (tree inhabiting) organisms. Retaining tree patches and buffer strips in logged stands contribute to preserve ecosystem functioning the vitality of organisms managed forests. To test these statements, threatened forest macrolichen Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. was used as a model species, since it is "flag" indicator species ecosystems with long ecological continuity. this purpose, photosynthetic performances, thallus anatomy water...
Abstract We tested whether freezing of air-dried lichen thalli alter physiological parameters commonly used as valuable stress markers in laboratory and field ecophysiological studies, namely integrity cell membranes (measured electrolyte leakage), assimilation pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, a+b, total carotenoids content), (OD435/OD415) a fluorescence emission (expressed F V/F M, the potential quantum yield primary photochemistry PIABS, global indicator photosynthetic performance)....
