Abstract: [Review of the ecophysiology of lichens in these ecosystems. "Environmental temperature is rising due to global warming in some of these areas, and it is likely that this will have a negative effect on lichen biodiversity at the margins of these zones because of the improved competitiveness of the vascular plants." In English with a German summary.]
