Lichens make excellent material for field studies throughout the
year and are valuable for the detection and mapping of pollution.
This book provides an overview of the value of lichens for
monitoring a range of potentially harmful substances including
sulphur dioxide, fluorides, PCBs, metals and radioactive elements.
In each section background information is provided and case studies
briefly described to enable the reader to appreciate the potential
applications of lichens for monitoring each type of environmental
pollutant. To help with the problems of identifying lichens,
coloured illustrations are provided of species that commonly grow
on trees together with an identification key and direction to more
advanced texts for lichens growing on other surfaces. This book is
a digital reprint (without updates) of ISBN 0-85546-289-5 (1992).
