Threatened species of Mycophycophyta
Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Other Names:
Threatened species of lichensEndangered species of lichen-forming fungi
Nature:
Sulfur dioxide and acid deposition are a major cause of Lichen diversity loss. Even in non-industrial areas of the UK acid tolerant lichens are becoming more dominant than those which are not.
Lichens are good indicators of air quality. They rely on dissolved solids in rainwater for their nutrients, so any increase in acidity has a direct effect.
