Abstract
Lichens can be found in almost any natural habitat in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to contributing to biological diversity, lichens are ecologically important as food, shelter, and nesting material for wildlife. They play significant roles in hydrological and mineral cycles, notably nitrogen fixation. Lichens are also important as environmental indicators, especially of air quality. Because of their importance in ecosystems and their value in environmental assessment, there is a large and growing interest among natural historians, land managers, and foresters in these organisms.
