Abstract
Lichens and lichenicolous fungi in the rural landscape of the Warmia Plain were studied. Lichen species were observed on old wooden fences, roadside trees, fruit trees, pylons, farm machinery, buildings and bridges. The analysed biota consists of 104 taxa with several noteworthy and rare lichens.
Highlights
The Warmia Plain is the most easterly mesoregion of the Littoral Gdańsk Region
The Warmia Plain is partially covered with varved clay from the recession period of the Pomeranian phase of Vistula Glaciation, while the ground surface in the southern area near Pasłęk consists of boulder clay
Comparative data can be found in selected monographs which separately analyse the diversity of non-synanthropic and apophytic lichens (e.g. Fałtynowicz 1992; Bystrek and Kolanko 2000) or in studies devoted to the synanthropization of lichen biota (articles from the collection of Kiszka and Piórecki 1994, e.g. Kiszka 1994, Fałtynowicz 1994; Cieśliński and Czyżewska 1998, Olech 1998)
Summary
Lichens in the rural landscape of the Warmia Plain. Lichens and lichenicolous fungi in the rural landscape of the Warmia Plain were studied. The lichen biota of nearly completely deforested rural areas is rarely individually studied (Kuziel 1964). Comparative data can be found in selected monographs which separately analyse the diversity of non-synanthropic and apophytic lichens (e.g. Fałtynowicz 1992; Bystrek and Kolanko 2000) or in studies devoted to the synanthropization of lichen biota (articles from the collection of Kiszka and Piórecki 1994 (eds), e.g. The objective of this study was to record species of lichens, lichenicolous and saprotrophic fungi growing on various anthropogenic substrates in a man-transformed rural landscape
