Abstract: 4 fig. 3 tab. [Transplant experiments with Lobaria oregana and Pseudocyphellaria rainierensis. "In the Oregon Cascades, epiphytic cyanolichens are abundant in old-growth forest canopies, but they accumulate very slowly in young forests. We evaluated whether epiphytic cyanolichens require old growth and/or thick, underlying moss mats to achieve normal rates of growth and mortality."]
