Long-term changes of epiphytic lichen species composition over landscape gradients: an 18 year time series

Abstract

The study aimed to determine how the response of the epiphytic lichen vegetation to sulphur air pollution is affected by interaction with other factors (distance from pollution sources, habitat, altitude, initial eutrophication of the tree bark).
