C. J. Ellis and B. J. Coppins 2010: Partitioning the role of climate, pollution and old-growth woodland in the composition and richness of lichens epiphytes in Scotland. - Lichenologist42(5): 601-614. [RLL List # 220 / Rec.# 31827] Keywords: SCOTLAND/ CLIMATE CHANGE/ OLD GROWTH FORESTS/ POLLUTION/ BIOCLIMATIC MODELLING/ CONSERVATION STRATEGY/ SPECIES COMPOSITION/ SPECIES RICHNESS/ ECOLOGY
Abstract: [Comparison of three regional-scale drivers (woodland extent and continuity, pollution regime, and climatic setting) to explain the composition and species richness of lichen epiphytes in Scotland used data from 170 study sites. "First, our results demonstrate the importance of climate in explaining species composition. Second, we show a functional decoupling between composition and species richness, which was optimally explained by old-growth woodland extent and pollution, and only weakly explained by climate."]
