Epiphytic lichen diversity on Quercus pubescens Willd. in Bursa province

Abstract

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.

Diversity and floristic patterns of epiphytic macrolichens on white oak in the Klamath-Siskiyou region

“…Kappelle & Sipman 1992;Upreti & Chatterjee 2000;Oran & Oztürk 2012;Villella et al 2013b;Pérez-Pérez et al 2015;Marmor et al 2017;EI Mokni et al 2018). Oak-dominated habitats are often subject to intense anthropogenic influences that have substantial effects on lichen communities, such as burning, urbanization, and conversion to agriculture (van Herk 2001;Insarov et al 2010;Aguillaume et al 2017;Güvenç & Öztürk 2017). In the Pacific Northwest humans have recently repressed wildfires in oak-dominated habitats leading to invasion by other tree species, such as conifers (Sugihara and Reed 1987;Engber et al 2011).…”
