Abstract
Summary The moisture retention capacity of eigth different types of saxicolous lichen substrates from the Negev Desert, was measured. It was shown that there is a correlation between the establishment of the lichens Ramalina maciformis , Buellia canescens , B. sorediosa and Caloplaca ehrenbergii , and the moisture retention capacity values of the substrates. The importance of the physical properties of the substrate as factor in the lichen-substrate association are discussed.
