The monograph presents the results of generalization and critical analysis of data accumulated over the 240-year history of lichen studies on the territory of modern Belarus, including the author's original materials. As a result of the work, 722 species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are accepted for the territory of the country, of which two species are described by the author as new to science, 78 species are reported for the first time for Belarus. 99 species are excluded from the list of lichen biota. Taxonomical, geographical, biomorphological and ecological-substrate analyzes of the lichen biota of Belarus were carried out for the first time. All the main features and trends in the dynamics of lichen species diversity are identified and characterized. A system of life forms of lichens of forest communities is proposed.

The study presents the results of lichenological research conducted in 2012–2016, based on my fieldwork carried out in mountain streams in the Polish Western Carpathians, revision of herbarium materials, and published data on lichen species in freshwater habitats in the study area. Field work was performed on 98 research plots divided into three zones related to duration of immersion (294 sampling sites in total). As the result of the work, 94 freshwater lichen species were found (91 based on my field work and/or revision of herbarium material), including 56 aquatic species. For all species, detailed descriptions of morphological and anatomical characters, information on their habitat, occurrence in the study area, worldwide and country distribution, and brief taxonomic notes are given. A key for species identification is also provided. From the present lichenological study, Verrucaria acrotella is reported as new for the Polish Western Carpathians. In total, 30 new species were recorded in particular mountain ranges in the study area. New records of Sarcogyne privigna and Thelidium fontigenum, very rare species in Poland, are given. The streams of the Polish Western Carpathians are characterized by high species diversity in various mountain ranges. The richest lichen biota was observed in streams of the Tatra Mts, where 76 species were found, representing more than 80% of the total number of freshwater lichens known from the Western Carpathians. In the Beskidy Mountains, species diversity in the streams remains within the range of 38–46 species. Two mountain ranges are distinguished by the presence of more species: the Beskid Sądecki Mts (60) and Beskid Żywiecki Mts (57). Thirtysix taxa were noted in the Carpathian foothills. A frequency analysis of lichens shows that very rare species (38 taxa; 40%) and rare species (32; 35%) dominate in the study area. Frequent lichens are the poorest group in the Polish Western Carpathians, accounting for only 4 species (slightly over 4%). Of all the lichens noted in the study area, 34 (~36%) are on the red list of the lichens in Poland. In the case of Carpathian streams, the substrate and the duration of inundation seem to be the most important factors for the occurrence of freshwater lichens. The duration of immersion also affects the species distribution. The submerged zone was the least diverse, in the terms of both number of species and represented families. The only species found there exclusively in the submerged zone were Ionaspis lacustris, Sporodictyon cruentum, Staurothele fissa, Thelidium submethorium, Verrucaria devensis and V. pachyderma. The splash zone provides a habitat transitional between the submerged and riparian zones. Lichens in this zone are constantly exposed to frequent changes between periods of inundation and desiccation. In the splash zone, both species found in the submerged zone as well as those occurring in the riparian zone were found. Species typical for the splash zone included Bacidina inundata, Gyalidea rivularis, Thelidium fontigenum, T. pluvium, Verrucaria humida and V. sublobulata. The most diverse group of lichens was associated with the riparian zone. Many lichens found in this zone are terrestrial lichens commonly found in non-freshwater habitats. They are considered to be rare in aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats but frequent in terrestrial habitats.

... An informative result reported by Serina et al. (1996) is the coincidence of gyrophoric acid and hiascic acid in their samples, so the co-occurrence of these two tridepsides in our investigated ecotypes was plausible. Based on the literature (Hestmark 1991;Krog and Swinscow 1986;Krzewicka 2004;Krzewicka and Osyczka 2002;Manojlović et al. 2012;Narui et al. 1996Narui et al. , 1998Poelt and Nash 2006;Posner et al. 1992;Serina et al. 1996;Upreti and Pant 2008;Zlatanović et al. 2017), the presence of umbilicaric acid in all of the U. aprina ecotypes is also appropriate. Orsellinic acid as a monocyclic aromatic compound, evernic acid as a depside, and the methyl hiascic acid as a tridepside are secondary metabolites detected in this st ud y, a nd t he y ha ve n ot b ee n re po rte d fr om Umbilicaria to date. ...
In the present study, we characterized the phytochemical properties, which were specifically associated with phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities in six distinct ecotypes of Umbilicaria aprina Nyl. from Iran (including Kivarestan, Mishan, Takht-e Nader, Tochal, Sabalan, and Sahand) to detect diversities within the species. Total phenolic concentration (TPC) and radical scavenging capacities of U. aprina ecotypes were evaluated. Moreover, qualitative differences between chemical profiles were surveyed using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Relatively moderate TPCs (Kivarestan = 36.12 ± 2.1, Mishan = 41.59 ± 2.2, Takht-e Nader = 31.85 ± 1.3, Tochal = 37.55 ± 2.3, Sabalan = 28.91 ± 2.5, and Sahand = 31.59 ± 2.2) were observed for ecotypes, but a very strong correlation (r = −0/842) was obtained between TPCs and IC50 values. Based on the results of LC-ESI-MS/MS, the following chemical substances were identified: orsellinic acid (1), lecanoric acid (2), evernic acid (3), gyrophoric acid (4), umbilicaric acid (5), hiascic acid (6), stictic acid (7) methyl hiascic acid (8), and an unknown substance (9). The MS/MS fragmentation scheme for each substance was determined and proposed. Wide discrepancies were observed in the chemical profiles of lichen ecotypes, which may corroborate the influence of ecological locality conditions, for example, altitude and slope aspects on secondary metabolism of lichen species U. aprina. The north-facing and east-facing ecotypes (Sabalan and Mishan, respectively) lacked depsidones (stictic acid) mainly because they receive the least direct radiation. Mishan ecotype, as the only east-facing ecotype, showed the most different chemical profile.

Among lichens are early colonizers of woody substrates (e.g., Lecanora aitema, L. compallens, L. sarcopidoides, Lecidella subviridis, Micarea nowakii) and siliceous rocks (e.g., Absconditella delutula, Thelocarpon intermediellum), as well as representatives growing on more decayed lignum (e.g., Absconditella pauxilla, Biatora veteranorum, Micarea nigella), remnants of bark on dead spruce trees (Arthonia mediella) and ephemeral species found on upended root systems (e.g., Agonimia repleta). all the species presented have been found in 2010 in the strictly protected areas of the Tatra National Park during an exploration of main forest communities more or less destroyed by the activity of bark beetle Ips typographus and storm winds.
... !! Umbilicaria cinereorufescens (Schaer.) Frey (PL: VU) A very rare high mountain species, in Poland known only from few localities in the Tatry Mts till now (Krzewicka 2004). In the Czech Republic, it has never been reported at all (Vězda & Liška 1999). ...
A commented list of 19 particularly interesting and noteworthy lichen species collected recently in the Giant Mts (Karkonosze,
Krkonoše) is given. Most of them were found on the basalt outcrop in the western wall of the Mały Śnieżny Kocioł cirque (germ.
Kleine Schneegrube), which is the most valuable and most conserved area in this mountain range. Two species are new to Poland:
Lecanora gangaleoides and Lecidea praenubila. Umbilicaria cinereorufescens is reported for the first time from the Sudety Mts as a whole. Three species are new for the Giant Mts: Buellia ocellata, Diplotomma lutosum and Fuscidea praeruptorum. Eight species: Aspicilia microlepis, Belonia russula, Caloplaca crenularia, C. nivalis, Gyalecta biformis, Koerberiella wimmeriana, Miriquidica
complanata and Polyblastia cruenta were re-discovered after over 100 years on the historical locality in the Mały Śnieżny Kocioł cirque.

... Krog & Swinscow 1986; Hestmark 1990 ). Furthermore , the presence or absence of rhizines is also a valuable diagnostic feature within this genus (e.g. Llano 1950; Poelt 1977; Krzewicka 2004 ). I therefore propose to recognize Umbilicaria decussata var. ...
