The present study reports 167 lichen taxa from Kastamonu province and 94 from Sinop province in Turkey. Twelve species are new to Turkey: Acarospora heppii (Nägeli) Nägeli, Acrocordia salweyi (Leight. ex Nyl.) A.L.Sm., Arthonia punctiformis Eschw., Bacidia
arnoldiana Körb., Bacidia trachona (Ach.) Lettau, Caloplaca concilians (Nyl.) H.Olivier, Candelariella athallina (Wedd.) Du Rietz, Enterographa elaborata (Lyell ex Leight.) Coppins & P.James, Eopyrenula leucoplaca (Wallr.) R.C.Haris, Lecanora
impudens Degel., Staurothele caesia (Arnold) Arnold and Verrucaria pinguicula A.Massal. 76 taxa are new to the province of Kastamonu and 49 are new to the province of Sinop.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of microclimatic factors and tree size on epiphytic lichen diversity in different parts of Quercus petraea. The microclimatic factors used were tree size, the base and trunk of the tree, bark surface moisture, and environmental
factors such as the amount of relative humidity and light in the environment. A total of 35 epiphytic lichen species was found in the Quercus petraea forest in the Uludağ Mountains. Parmelia sulcata was the most common species. The highest species diversity was found in
small trees. Shannon diversity on the trunk of the tree decreased with the increase in the tree size. The relationship between tree size and species richness on the trunk of the tree was found to be more significant than that found on the base. It has been determined that the frequency of
some species on the base and trunk of the tree was increased as a result of an increase in the amount of relative humidity and light in the environment and an increase in the bark surface moisture. At the same time the frequency decreased when the amount of relative humidity and light in the
environment and bark surface moisture decreased.
With one MapS u m m a r y In this study, the samples collected from 58 localities in the North-East regions of Cyprus are described. 126 taxas belonging to 49 genera (1 19 species, 7 varieties) have been determined. 32 lichen taxa are new records from the island of Cyprus.
The aim of this study is determined to compare the epiphytic lichen diversity of Quercus pubescens found in the center of the city or village, and away from the center. The ordination graph based on the settlements of species diversity located in the center of the city or village and away from the center were obtained with a detrended correspondence analysis (DCA). Differences in the species diversity and composition of the epiphytic lichens on Q. pubescens in the center of the city or village, and away from the center were evaluated using the TWINSPAN program. In this study, a total of 28 epiphytic lichen species were found on the Quercus pubescens. Eopyrenula leucoplaca was found in all the localities in the study area. The other common species were Hyperphyscia adglutinata, Physconia grisea and Xanthoria parietina. The epiphytic lichen diversity on Q. pubescens obtained from the localities in Bursa city center, and village center from Karacabey Plain comparative to the localities in the peripheral zone of Bursa city center and Karacabey Plain has shown variations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
