Lichen
Biology
|
|
|
by Thomas
H. Nash, III
|
|
|
This volume provides an up-to-date account of these fascinating
organisms, beginning with anatomical, morphological, and physiological aspects.
It emphasizes the ecophysiology of lichens and their role in carbon and nitrogen
fixation, as well as in mineral cycling in general. It then provides an
overview of lichen biogeography and systematics in the light of modern perspectives
in evolution, and summarizes the chemistry of the unique secondary metabolites
produced by lichens. Chapters on systematics, phylogeny, and classification
and on Lichens as indicators of air pollution are included; 320 pages, 104 halftones,
45 line drawings, 15 tables, paper, Cambridge University Press, 1995.

Foreword by Peter Raven |
|
|
The book focuses on 805 foliose, fruticose, and
crustose lichens (the latter rarely included in popular guidebooks) and presents
information on another 700 species in the keys or notes; special attention is
given to species endemic' to North America. A comprehensive introduction discusses
the biology, structure, uses, and ecological significance of lichens and is illustrated
with 90 additional color photos and many line drawings. English names are provided
for most species, and the book also includes a glossary that explains technical
terms.828 pp. 821 b/w + 927 color illus. Cloth. ISBN 08249-5 Yale University Press.

Macrolichens
of the Northern Rocky Mountains
|
|
|
by Bruce
McCune and Trevor Goward
|
|
|
The northern Rockies is one of the few regions remaining in
the United States with a nearly intact lichen flora. As an area relatively
untouched by air pollution, it offers one of the best opportunities to study effects
of our degrading global air quality. Lichen studies are also useful in monitoring
local changes in air quality. Furthermore, there is much to learn about
the ecology of lichens in natural ecosystems, and our area provides more of these
than any other area in the conterminous United States. As such it is imperative
that we learn not only which species grow in the area, but something of their
distribution and abundance. It is hoped that this manual will facilitate studies
by both newcomers and old hands in lichenology, by providing an up-to-date, easy-to-use
guide to the macrolichens; 208 pages, 6 x 9, MRP, 1995.

Dakota. Descriptions, keys, habitat, range, substrate, sensitivity to air
pollution, and an illustrated glossary make this an excellent introduction guide.

Niebla
and Vermilacinia (Ramalinaceae) from California and BajaCalifornia. Sida, Botanical
Miscellany Number 14.
|
|
|
by Richard
W. Spjut.
|
|
|
This publication presents a detailed taxonomic treatment of
71 species in two related lichen genera of Ramalinaceae found along the Pacific
Coast of North America. Many of the species are conspicuous among the landscape
vegetation of the Pacific coastal deserts, constituting 70% or more of the ground
cover in some areas, but also growing luxuriantly on shrubs and trees. Color
photographs are presented for most species as seen in their natural habitat in
Baja California, Mexico. The treatment includes an introduction on the history
of the generic classification, climate, vegetation, and photogeography of the
California regions, followed by a discussion of characters employed in taxonomic
keys and descriptions; 225 pages, 7 x10, 4 maps, 52 illustrations, 126 b/w photographs,
60 color photographs, Paper, Botanical Research Institute of Texas, 1997.

Lichens |

| by George Baron |
|
| Published in conjunction with The South London
Botanical Institute and endorsed by the British Lichen Society, this fully comprehensive
book takes the reader from the most basic description of what a lichen is through
a complete description of the thallus (lichen body) including growth forms, reproduction
and dispersal, lichen physiology, habitat and communities. It also covers amateur
fieldwork, how to choose a microscope, the uses of lichens and a comprehensive
guide to botanical classification of lichens from Kingdom down to form. There
is a comprehensive bibliography and information on field courses and further study.
There are specially written articles on 'Churchyard Lichens' by Tom Chester and
'Woodland and Parkland Lichens' by Jeremy Gray. The scientific editors are Frank
S. Dobson and Jeremy Gray. 1999. 96 Pages, 5 3/4 x 8 1/4"; 49 b/w illustrations;
35 line drawings. Richmond Publishing Company. |
