Hill, DJ 1981: The growth of lichens with special references to the modelling of circular thalli. - Lichenologist13: 265-287. [RLL List # 112-32 / Rec.# 8532] Keywords: GROWTH/ MODELS/ CRUSTOSE/ FOLIOSE
Abstract: ["Lichen growth is reviewed in the context of the anatomy of the growth region, thallus morphology of crustose and foliose lichens, phytosynthesis, mathematical models and their application. The Aplin & Hill model is suggested as a basis for more detailed investigation of integrated processes of growth including not only the size increase but also the general structure of the thallus and the processes which limit growth."]
