A proper conservation plan for epiphytic lichens should take into account peculiar characteristics of these organisms and detailed informations about their distribution are needed. Bibliographic data and herbarium specimens are not sufficient to estimate rarity and vulnerability levels: they should be defined on the basis of probabilistic...

Questions: What are the most relevant environmental variables influencing the distribution and the species richness of epiphytic lichens in heterogeneous areas of the Mediterranean region? What is the relative importance of substrate- vs. environmental-related variables? How do climatic and disturbance factors interact? Location: The study was...

The purposes of this article are to quantify the relationship between epiphytic lichen distribution and macroclimatic variables in the study area and to provide a case study for evaluating the predictive role of epiphytic lichens as bioclimatic indicators. The study was carried out in the Liguria region (NW-Italy), a small (5432 km2) borderline...

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...
