Lichens and lichenicolous fungi in the Bolimów Landscape Park

The article presents a distribution atlas of 166 taxa of lichens and 15 species of lichenicolous fungi growing in the Bolimów Landscape Park and its protection zone (Central Poland), collected between 1982-1984 and 1996-2003.

New and noteworthy lichens from the Western Italian Alps

Western Italian Alps (namely Piedmont and the Aosta Valley) are among the lichenologically best known regions of Italy with c.1200 species listed. However, despite the long temporal continuity of lichen studies, information is still geographically uneven and data on the occurrence and distribution of many species are missing. An opportunity to fill this gap is currently provided by ecological and applied studies that assess the response of lichen communities to environmental factors in terms of species richness and composition. This study reports species that are new or interesting records for the western Italian Alps or noteworthy mainly because of their conservation status provided by ecological and applied studies in Aosta Valley and Piedmont and by some recent floristic surveys. A list of 51 records referring to 47 species is reported and discussed; 20 species are new to the Aosta Valley, 17 are new to Piedmont and 11 species are reported for the first time in the Western Italian Alps, being new for both regions. More than 25% of the records derive from stonework biodeterioration studies providing noteworthy data due to substrata analysed. About 35% of records derive from both air pollution monitoring studies and research on lichen conservation in relation to forest management. Biomonitoring studies are based on robust sampling design that allows data to be compared across regions and time series, improving the information associated with floristic data. Research on epiphytic lichens in Italian forests, rapidly increasing in Italy in the last years, has contributed significant advances in lichen floristics in Italy and in modelling environmental factors that are relevant for lichen ecology and conservation.

Rare and noteworthy boreal lichens from the Altai Mountains (South Siberia, Russia)

Based on field trips between 1995–2007, rare and noteworthy lichens from the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia are described. Bacidia zerovii Oxner is recognized as a synonym of Scoliciosporum chlorococcum (Graewe ex Stenh.) Vězda. Lecidea brenneri H. Magn. is lectotypified and synonymized with Lecania cyrtellina (Nyl.) Sandst. The new combination Puttea exsequens (Nyl.) Printzen & Davydov is introduced for Lecidea exsequens Nyl. and is the oldest validly published name for Lecidea gibberosa sensu Th. Fr. non Ach. Of the 33 species reported here, five species – Lecania croatica, Lecanora pseudosarcopidoides, Lecidea, L. sanguineoatra, Puttea exsequens and Rimularia fuscosora are new for Asia and Russia, Buellia arborea is new to Asia, Lecanora farinaria is new to Russia, Caloplaca herbidella, C. sorocarpa, Fellhanera subtilis, Lecidea pullata, and Pertusaria coccodes are new to Siberia. Several species are reported as new to West or South Siberia. Most corticolous lichen species display a more or less circumboreal distribution and also occur in Europe and North America.
