Marsh, JE/ Nash, TH" III 1979: Lichens in relation to the Four Corners Power Plant in New Mexico. - The Bryologist82: 20-28. [RLL List # 103-57 / Rec.# 12275] Keywords: AIR POLLUTION/ NEW MEXICO/ SO2/ FOUR CORNERS/ DESERT
Abstract: 3 figures. 1 table. [159 species in 40 genera are reported. Although the SO2 levels are relatively high in the area, the lichens so far seem unaffected. Authors contend that the aridity of the area and dominance of resistant crustose forms explain the departure of the results from previous air pollution studies.]
