Kossowska, M. 2008: Lichens growing on calcareous rocks in the Polish part of the Sudety Mountains. - Acta Botanica Silesiaca, Monographiae 3: 3-63. [RLL List # 247 / Rec.# 38870]
Abstract: Paper presents the results of the investigations of the calcicolous lichen flora occuring in the Sudety Mts. The study was carried out in the two most extensive areas with calcareous substrates in the Sudety Mts: the Góry Kaczawskie Mts in the western part of the Sudetes and the Śnieżnik Metamorphic Region in their eastern part, and the two types of localities: natural rock outcrops and quarries. On each locality the entire lichen flora that was directly (saxicolous species) or indirectly (terricolous and muscicolous species) associated with calcareous substrates was analyzed. Of the 129 species currently found in the study area, 84 species were exclusively epilithic, 17 were epilithic, 21 species grew over mosses and 22 taxa were not connected with only one type of substrate. The calcicolous lichen flora of the Western Sudety Mts was significantly richer and more diverse than that of the Eastern Sudetes. In the Góry Kaczawskie Mts a total of 111 calcicolous lichen species were found, whereas in the Śnieżnik Metamorphic Region only 72 species were identified during the study. Only 54 taxa occured in both calcareous areas in the Sudety Mts.
