Abstract: 1 table. 3 figures. [Six hour cold treatments of -5 to -78 C. "From these results and previous publications it is inferred that lichens in general from the Roccellaceae, a family characterized by species with Trentepohlia, are more susceptible to frost than lichens with Trebouxia." The results help to explain the general distribution pattern of the Roccellaceae.]
