27 species from various places in the Liguria region (Northern Italy) are reported. 13 of these are new to the region.
The influence of environmental variables on epiphytic lichens in Liguria (NW Italy) was examined using two complementary approaches. Firstly, the variability of lichen vegetation in relation to environmental variables was investigated. Secondly, the variability of Lichen Biodiversity (LB) counts, used in biomonitoring studies, was analysed in...
Thirty-five lichen species, collected during several trips in Italy are listed. These records are additions to the lichen flora of Liguria (21 species), Toscana (5), Sicilia (1), Abruzzo (1), Lazio (1), Sardegna (1); one species is new to N Italy and 2 to C Italy. Additional information is given for some other rare species, while the occurrence...
This paper reports 24 lichens from the Ligurian Apennines, 11 of which are new to Liguria and 4 to Emilia regions in N-Italy.
24 species from Marche and Molise regions (Central-southern Italy), sampled during two biomonitoring surveys, are reported. 7 of these are new to Marche and 13 to Molise. The other species are interesting for their distribution and give useful informations about the climatic conditions of the survey areas.
(1) Research Highlights: The work studied the beta diversity patterns of epiphytic lichens as a function of their reproductive strategies in old-growth and non-old growth forests from the Mediterranean area. (2) Background and Objectives: The reproductive strategies of lichens can drive the dispersal and distribution of species assemblages in...

Sampling requirements related to lichen biomonitoring include optimal sampling density for obtaining precise and unbiased estimates of population parameters and maps of known reliability. Two available datasets on a sub-national scale in Italy were used to determine a cost-effective sampling density to be adopted in medium-to-large-scale...

Microclimatic conditions are important in determining lichen distribution at small scale, and may determine whether the species persist when the surrounding environmental conditions have drastically changed. This is the case with forest management, since a sudden variation of microclimatic conditions (increase of solar radiation, temperature,...
200 infrageneric taxa of lichenised and lichenicolous fungi are reported from the Abetone area (Tuscan - Emilian Apennines, Central Italy). Psilolechia clavulifera (Nyl.) Coppins is a new addition to the lichen flora of Italy, other 17 taxa are new to Central Italy, 26 to Tuscany, 2 to Emilia Romagna. The presence of some taxa previously known...
