Moxham, TH 1981: Growth rates of Xanthoria parietina and their relationship to substrate texture. - Cryptogamie, Bryologie et Lichenologie2: 171-180. [RLL List # 113-64 / Rec.# 13150] Keywords: XANTHORIA/ GROWTH RATE/ SUBSTRATE/ ECOLOGY/ SAXICOLOUS/ CORTICOLOUS
Abstract: 3 tables. 2 figures. [Author concludes "... the growth rate of Xanthoria parietina is shown to be influenced by the texture of the substrate; saxicolous and smooth-barked corticolous lichens tended to have a higher growth rate than rough-barked corticolous lichens." This influence is most pronounced in the juvenile thallus.]
