Sanjeeva, N./ Upreti, D.K./ Roshni, K. 2011: Diversity and distribution of lichens in Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary, Uttar Pradesh. - The Journal of Indian Botanical Society 90(3-4): 360-366. [RLL List # 278 / Rec.# 45358]
Abstract: The lichens of Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary, Uttar Pradesh are studied for the first time. The survey in 11 localities resulted in 42 species with dominance of crustose and epiphytic lichens. The sanctuary has luxuriant growth of graphidaceous and pyrenocarpous lichens. The most dominant genera are Pyrenula and Graphis with 5 species each and the most common lichen species in the sanctuary are Dirinaria consimilis, Graphis subasahinae, Letrouitia transgressa and Pyrenula subacutalis. The present study added a total of 33 species to the lichen flora of Uttar Pradesh. Parmotrema mesotropum, P. praesorediosums and P. saccatilobum are the only parmelioid lichens known from the sanctuary can be considered as indicators of healthy, moist and shady environment of the sanctuary. Lichen diversity in different forest sites is discussed and lichen rich sites are identified for conservation. Although Katarniaghat is heavily influenced by anthropogenic activities, it appears that lichen flora of the sanctuary is less affected.
