Epiphytic lichens along gradients in topography and stand structure in western Oregon, USA. Pacific Northwest Fungi 1(2): 1–38. [‘‘We infer that remnant trees serve as refugia for lichens through a disturbance and provide lichen inoculum to younger trees. Hardwood patches were hotspots for lichen diversity, particularly cyanolichens that are infrequent on conifers. Hardwood patches were most prevalent along perennial streams. To maintain and enhance lichen communities at a landscape level, forest managers must consider the importance of features such as late-successional stands, remnant trees, hardwoods, and riparian areas to lichen communities. These features are especially important to retain in or near regenerating forests to promote colonization by dispersallimited lichens.’’ Only available online at http://pnwfungi.org/articles.htm] ——— & ———. 2006. Estimating epiphytic macrolichen biomass from topography, stand structure and lichen community data. Journal of Vegetation Science 17: 157–170. [Study conducted in the central Cascades of western Oregon. ‘‘Lichen biomass changed with elevation, cyanolichen biomass highest at low elevations (470–950 m) and forage lichen biomass highest at higher elevations (950-1470 m). Lichen biomass was lowest in even-aged young stands and highest in mature stands with remnant trees and in oldgrowth.’’] Carceres, M. & R. Lucking. 2006.
