Abstract: [Studies carried out in Västerbotten, Sweden, using Bryoria bicolor, Lobaria amplissima, Platismatia glauca, P. norvegica and Usnea longissima. "Many brief hydration events may thus hamper species with slow activation and fast desiccation kinetics. No evidence of compensation by a 'water-holding' morphology was observed among studied species. The developed model may provide a tool for identifying suitable habitats for long-term persistence of lichens with physiological constraints."]
