Lichen Checklist from the Liking Lichens Teacher Workshops at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, Georgia, USA

Abstract

Abstract The lichen flora of the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in the Georgia Piedmont was explored during successive Liking Lichens Teacher Workshops in July 2006 and 2007. Habitats surveyed include mesic mixed hardwood forest, Oak-Hickory forest and granitic flatrock. A checklist of 146 species in 64 genera from this workshop is presented. This report represents only the second lichen checklist from Georgia, USA, and is one of the first field-based checklists for the Piedmont physiographic province of eastern North America.
