Anatomical, morphological and ecophysiological strategies in Placopsis pycnotheca (lichenized fungi, Ascomycota) allowing rapid colonization of recently deglaciated soils
(Elsevier, 2011)The green algal lichen Placopsis pycnotheca was identified at Pia and Marinelli glaciers (Isla Grande of Tierra de Fuego, Chile) as a primary colonizer of bare soil in areas close to the front of the glacier or around small ... -
Comparative ecophysiology of three Placopsis species, pioneer lichens in recently exposed Chilean glacial forelands
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)Lichen species belonging to the genus Placopsis are early colonisers on snow free moraines of exposed land surfaces in the subantarctic region of Tierra de Fuego, South Chile. The physiological performance of three ... -
Ecology of endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)In this study, the symbiont cells of several endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica and the relationships they have with the abiotic environment were analyzed in situ, in order to characterize the ... -
Ecophysiology of desiccation/rehydration cycles in mosses and lichens
(Springer, 2011)Although both lichens and bryophytes are all poikilohydric the groups seem to behave very differently. Bryophytes also show a clear preference for wetter areas and this seems to be a result of the different structures of ... -
Extreme high lichen growth rates detected in recently deglaciated areas in Tierra del Fuego
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)The goals of this study were to accurately determine the annual growth rate of two key lichen species for lichenometric studies in Tierra del Fuego and to provide more information on recent glacial evolution in the ...
