Lichen Biology
Lichens are symbiotic organisms in which fungi and algae and/or cyanobacteria form an intimate biological union. In this second edition, four completely new chapters cover recent developments in the study of these fascinating organisms, including lichen genetics and sexual reproduction, stress physiology and symbiosis, and the carbon economy and environmental role of lichens. This diverse group is found in almost all terrestrial habitats from the tropics to polar regions.
This is a valuable reference for both students and researchers interested in lichenology. The whole text has been fully updated, with chapters covering anatomical, morphological and developmental aspects; the contribution of the unique secondary metabolites produced by lichens to medicine and the pharmaceutical industry; patterns of lichen photosynthesis and respiration in relation to different environmental conditions; the role of lichens in nitrogen fixation and mineral cycling; and the use of lichens as indicators of air pollution.
