A Lichen Checklist for Prince Edward Island, Canada
@inproceedings{McMullin2012ALC, title={A Lichen Checklist for Prince Edward Island, Canada}, author={Richard Troy McMullin and Stephen R. Clayden and Steven B. Selva and Rosemary Curley and Lyndsay J. Schram}, year={2012} }
Abstract. The lichens and allied fungi of Prince Edward Island have been poorly studied compared to those of other Canadian provinces. To address this knowledge gap, we made collections between 1993 and 2010 in a range of ecosystems and localities across the island. We also compiled and reviewed other collections from public and personal herbaria, as well as published reports. Based on all known records, we present the first lichen checklist for Prince Edward Island; it includes 256 species in…

Edge effects on the lichen genus Lobaria in Atlantic Canadian Forests
- Environmental Science
- 2015
To better understand this ‘edge effect’ in the Acadian Forest, 20 mature deciduous stands in northeastern New Brunswick were examined that were adjacent to clear-cuts ranging from 6–11 years old and used lichens as bioindicators and selected the genus Lobaria because it is particularly sensitive to disturbance, but also common in maturedeciduous forests of this region.

Increased amount of edge habitat is one of several important consequences of forest fragmentation. Consequently, we must understand the responses of plants and animals to edges to formulate adequate…

I. Responses to microclimate along a forest edge-interior gradient
- Environmental Science
- 1997
The data indicate that the gradient in microclimate was too small to significantly affect lichen growth, and that lichens are largely metabolically inactive when large edge-interior contrasts in micro climate occur.

■ Abstract The literature on effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is huge. It is also very diverse, with different authors measuring fragmentation in different ways and, as a consequence,…
