Vicol, I. 2017: Red listed lichen species within old growth and young growth forests from Romania. - Romanian Journal of Biology, Plant Biology 62(2): 67-76. [RLL List # 257 / Rec.# 41100]
Abstract: In the studied areas of a total of 19 red listed lichen species from Romania there were observed 4 red listed lichen species, for instant: Cetraria islandica (L.) Ach. (1803), Cetraria saepincola (Ehrh.) Ach. (1803), Hypotrachyna sinuosa(Sm.) Hale (1975), and Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. (1796). The red listed lichen species were predominantly identified in mountainous areas within old growth forests well conserved,the most of them being protected areas. As regards young growth forests, only one red listedlichen species was found in a mixed forest represented in a great deal by ancient oaks from the Romanian Plain. In the field it was observed that red listed lichen species have been found especially on old trees, such as: oak and beech. In the lowland areas, within mixed forests represented especially by oaks Hypotrachyna sinuosa has been identified while within montane forests well represented by beech, fir and spruce the presence of L. pulmonaria has been observed. In addition to forest habitats, C. islandica and C. saepincola were found on mugo pine and common juniper in subalpine and alpine belts with undetectable anthropogenic pressure.
