Allen, J.L./ Howe, N.M. 2016: Landfill Lichens: A checklist for Freshkills Park, Staten Island, New York . - Opuscula Philolichenum 15: 82-91. [RLL List # 244 / Rec.# 37980]

Abstract: A checklist of the lichens discovered at Freshkills Park, Staten Island, after three days of surveying, is presented. In 1997 the Freshkills Municipal landfill was capped and the process to convert it to a park was begun. Seventeen species were found in the park, four of which are newly reported for the New York City metropolitan area. Comparison of our list to previous floras and checklists for New York City suggests that even the densely urbanized area of New York City likely hosts a surprisingly heterogeneous and diverse lichen flora.
