Katalog der Flechten und flechtenbewohnenden Pilze Deutschlands
... An neuerer Literatur zur deutschen Flechtenflora ist besonders der Katalog der Flechten und flechtenbewohnenden Pilze Deutschlands von SCHOLZ (2000) hervorzuheben, der einen aktuellen Gesamtüberblick über die in den einzelnen Bundesländern nachgewiesenen Sippen gibt sowie zu jeder Art auf weiterführende Literatur und meist auch Abbildungen verweist. Nomenklatorisch ist diese Arbeit auf dem neuesten Stand und soll daher künftig auch für unsere Beiträge als nomenklatorische Grundlage dienen. ...

... In the Slovakian Tatras it is also a common species, extending from the lower montane to the subnival belt (Lisická 1980). In Europe the species is reported from nearly all countries (e.g., Purvis et al. 1992;Fałtynowicz 1993;Nimis 1993;Kondratyuk et al. 1996;Randlane & Saag 1999;Scholz 2000;. It is one of the most frequent species of the genus Umbilicaria, occurring both in mountains and on lowlands. ...

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.
Key words: aquatic lichens, biodiversity, Carpathians, freshwater lichenized fungi, Poland.

Remarkable finds of lichens and lichenicolous fungi from eastern Thuringia, occasionally from other parts and the neighbouring federal states, are reported. In addition, Acarospora saxonica is discussed in more detail. This species is new to Italy, Austria and Switzerland. New for Germany are Acarospora irregularis, Verrucaria elevata, and V. inaspecta. New for Thuringia are Acarospora franconica, A. intermedia, A. saxonica and A. similis, new for Hesse Acarospora franconica and A. intermedia and new for Saxony-Anhalt are Rinodina teichophila and Verrucaria ochrostoma. After several decades, Lichenodiplis lecanorae was found again in Thuringia and Acarospora intermedia in Hesse and Thuringia. Findings of the lichens hydropunctaria rheithrophila, Peltigera lepidophora, Physcia tribacia, Placidium michelii and Placidium pilosellum, which are rare in Thuringia, are also reported. Myriospora scabrida, Placidium lachneum, Verrucaria beltraminiana and Verrucaria botellispora are to be deleted from the list of lichens of Thuringia, the occurrence of Bacidina brandii in Thuringia is doubtful.

In the early summer of 2003 the Daisy-leaf moonwort (Botrychium matricariifolium) was discovered in two places in the former Siegenburg military training area of the American Army, now nature reserve „Former NATO Training Area Siegenburg“. This nature reserve is located in the Siegenburg drifting sand area. The new discovered site of this fern, which is highly endangered in Bavaria and also in whole Germany, is located in the natural area Donau-Isar-Hügelland in the administrative district Lower Bavaria. Only two older records of this species from around 80 years ago were known from this natural area. In the former Siegenburg military training area, B. matricariifolium was observed at two growth sites 0.75 km apart at the time of the first finding in 110 and 5 specimens, respectively. The larger population inhabits an extensive area of about 1 ha. The species grows in a Thymus serpyllum-Festuca ovina community and was found at the time of active military use in a typical species-rich formation as well as in a type on freshly burned areas poorer in species. A population monitoring carried out since the discovery made it possible to describe the development of the two populations. The variation of leaf numbers observed in the larger population since 2014 was compared with 3 different demographic histories, half-lives of 1, 2 and 3 years. It appears that B. matricariifolium is characterized by a very short half-life of about 1 year.
... It was cited by Migula (1931) from Blankenburg (Teufelsmauer), but also from "Sächsische Schweiz: An den Tissaer Wänden (Sandsteinfelsen)". The Catalogue of Scholz (2000) appears to be the last publication where the species was listed from Germany, with a presence only in Sachsen-Anhalt where it is considered as extinct (Scholz 1992). Lecanographa farinosa should be searched for on sandstone outcrops in Central Europe. ...
Lecanographa farinosa was considered to be a lichen inhabiting coastal rocks of the Mediterranean region and to possess psoromic and conpsoromic acids as major secondary metabolites. A revision of its type specimen from Germany proved that the species has been misunderstood. In this paper, L. farinosa is shown to have a thallus containing confluentic and 2’-O-methylmicrophyllinic acids and to have a different ecology and distribution. A revision of previous reports of L. farinosa from continental Portugal and the study of recent specimens of Lecanographa cf. farinosa from the Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verde and continental Portugal revealed a new species described as L. atlantica. Moreover, reports of L. dialeuca from France (Brittany) and of L. subgrumulosa from the Azores are considered misidentifications of L. atlantica. This latter has thus a widespread distribution ranging from the Azores to the Atlantic coast of the European continent where it inhabits volcanic rocks near the sea. Lecanographa atlantica is characterized by a whitish to cream coloured thallus, usually rounded or oblong to shortly lirelliform and white pruinose ascomata with a widely exposed hymenial disc and thin margin, (3–)5–7-septate ascospores of (16–)18.9–23(–26) × (3–)3.4–4(–4.5) µm, and a chemistry including at least 2’-O-methylperlatolic acid but lacking confluentic and 2’-O-methylmicrophyllinic acids.

This monograph presents the results of research on the morphological and anatomical variability, ecology, and distribution of Opegrapha s. l. in Poland. The study is based on roughly 1,400 specimens from Polish and some European herbaria. Out of the 18 species of the genus Opegrapha s. l. recorded from Poland, seven species belong to the genus Opegrapha Ach., four species now belong to the genus Alyxoria Ach. ex Gray, two species each are found in the genera Arthonia Ach. and Zwackhia Körb, and one species belongs to each of the genera Gyrographa Ertz & Tehler, Phacographa Hafellner, and Pseudoschismatomma Ertz & Tehler. One of the species, Zwackhia sorediifera , has been reported from Poland for the first time. Among the 18 species of the genus Opegrapha s. l., 10 are epiphytic, five epilithic, and two lichenicolous. The first modern identification key for the species of Opegrapha s. l. in Poland is presented. Numerous new regional records are provided that complement our knowledge of the geographic distribution of some poorly known taxa, such as Alyxoria culmigena , A. mougeotii , A. ochrocheila , Arthonia calcarea , Opegrapha dolomitica , O. geographicola , O. lithyrga , and Phacographa glaucomaria . All species are characterized and discussed, and their diagnostic characters illustrated. Geographic ranges of each species in Poland are presented on maps based on revised herbarium materials.

A revised checklist of the lichenized fungi so far recorded from Austria is presented. For the accepted taxa information on synonyms used in Central Europe, on the horizontal and vertical distribution in Austria and on substrate preferences is given. At present 2491 lichenized taxa (2349 species, 142 additional infraspecific taxa) are known to occur in Austria. Non lichenized microfungi frequently collected by lichenologists (69 species) are included but non-lichenized lichenicolous fungi remain excluded. Of many genera a representative species is illustrated with a colour photograph. Several new combinations are proposed in the genera Gyalolechia, Lepra, Myriolecis and Pyrenodesmia (see chapter 3, p. 170 ff).
[Chapter 3 contains a reevaluation of the generic names relevant in a search of the correct name for the "Pertusaria" albescens group. The legitimate genus Lepra Scop. (1777) is reinstalled to replace the illegitimate generic names Variolaria Pers. (1794) and Marfloraea S.Kondr. et al.(2015) proposed for use in recent times].

Taeniolella is a genus of asexual ascomycetes with saprophytic, endophytic and lichenicolous life styles. A phylogeny of representative species of the genus is presented, with a focus on lichenicolous taxa. We obtained mtSSU and nuLSU sequence data from culture isolates of Taeniolella and from freshly collected specimens of other species. The genus Taeniolella is recovered as strongly polyphyletic with species distributed between the Dothideomycetes and the Sordariomycetes. The type species, Taeniolella exilis, is placed in the Kirschsteiniotheliaceae within Dothideomycetes. Other saprophytic/endophytic Taeniolella species previously assigned to the Sordariomycetes based on sequences were found to represent either contaminants or species that cannot be assigned to Taeniolella for morphological reasons. Lichenicolous species are restricted to the Asterotexiales (Dothideomycetes) where the sequenced species of Taeniolella do not form a monophyletic group, but are related to species of the genera Buelliella s. lat., Karschia, Labrocarpon, Melaspilea s. lat., and Stictographa. Molecular data are, however, not sufficient to reallocate the lichenicolous Taeniolella species to other genera so far. Anamorph-teleomorph relationships between these taxa and lichenicolous Taeniolella species are discussed but could not be demonstrated with the current data. Buelliella minimula, the type species of the genus Buelliella, is placed in the Asterotexiales, and the genus recovered as polyphyletic. Three new lichenicolous Taeniolella species are described, namely T. hawksworthiana, T. pyrenulae, and T. toruloides. Taeniolella rudis is transferred to Sterigmatobotrys, as S. rudis. In addition, the taxonomic part comprises detailed treatments of the generic type T. exilis and of T. punctata, which are both included in the phylogenetic trees.

Using 642 forest plots from three regions in Germany, we analyzed the direct and indirect effects of forest management intensity and of environmental variables on lichen functional diversity (FDis). Environmental stand variables were affected by management intensity and acted as an environmental filter: summing direct and indirect effects resulted in a negative total effect of conifer cover on FDis, and a positive total effect of deadwood cover and standing tree biomass. Management intensity had a direct positive effect on FDis, which was compensated by an indirect negative effect via reduced standing tree biomass and lichen species richness, resulting in a negative total effect on FDis and the FDis of adaptation-related traits (FDisAd). This indicates environmental filtering of management and stronger niche partitioning at a lower intensity. In contrast, management intensity had a positive total effect on the FDis of reproduction-, dispersal-and establishment-related traits (FDisRe), mainly because of the direct negative effect of species richness, indicating functional over-redundancy, i.e., most species cluster into a few over-represented functional entities. Our findings have important implications for forest management: high lichen functional diversity can be conserved by promoting old, site-typical deciduous forests with a high richness of woody species and large deadwood quantity.
A total of 42 taxa of lichenicolous fungi – most of them non-lichenized, a few lichenized – are recorded from various countries in southeastern Europe.

The lichen herbarium (families Gyalectaceae and Coenogoniaceae) from Belarus was revised. 3 species (Coenogonium pineti, Gyalecta derivatai, G. truncigena) are known for republic at present. Gyalecta derivatai is reported from Belarus for the first time.
This volume is dedicated to the question of how strongly plant species are bound to forest habitats. The presented lists of forest species among the vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens of Germany were derived with comparable methods and are delivered in a user-friendly form. The lists are supplemented by perspectives and suggestions of applications, but also by a discussion of limitations. Previous applications of lists of forest species are reviewed, and the contribution of statistical methods and vegetation databases is discussed.
The lists of forest species comprise a total of 1216 vascular plants, 674 bryophytes and 1002 lichens. Thus, they comprise 41 % of the vascular plant species of Germany, 58 % of the bryophytes and 52 % of the lichen taxa. Among the vascular forest plants there are 76 trees, 4 epiphytes, 116 shrubs and 1020 herbaceous plants. Changes introduced since the first edition are highlighted.
Particular care was taken to present the lists of forests species in an easily applicable format. Nomenclature follows the taxonomic reference for vegetation databases in Germany (GermanSL 1.2), and electronic lists are readily available for use via internet.
Comparability of classifications among vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens is warranted by application of the standards developed for vascular plants (partial lists for three subregions, definition of forest and linkage to forests), which allows comparative and joint analysis of the three groups.
The lists are valid for the Federal Republic of Germany with its three natural subregions northern lowlands, hillsides and low mountains and Alps. The forest definition of the first edition of the vascular plant list was maintained without taking account of the naturalness of forests, i. e. no distinction between natural forests and man-made plantations was made.
The lists class forest species into four groups within two major categories:
1 largely restricted to forest
1.1 largely restricted to closed forest
1.2 prefers forest edges and in clearings
2 occurrence in forest and open land
2.1 occurs in forests as well as in open land
2.2 may occur in forests, but prefers open land
The categories are further classified by letter prefixes. Vascular plants are differentiated into trees (B), shrubs (S), herbaceous plants (K) and epiphytes (E), bryophytes are denoted as M, lichens as F. Main category 1 comprises the taxa that are largely restricted to forests, main category 2 groups those that equally occur in forest and open lands.
The lists of bryophytes and lichens list the substrates on which the plant species regularly grow. This information refers to Germany without differentiation by subregions.
For the second edition of the list of vascular forest plants, suggestions that had been made since 2003 were subjected to discussion. The formerly uniform group of trees (B), which had also comprised lianas and epiphytes was differentiated according to their association with forests in the same manner as shrubs and herbaceous plants.
While presence in vegetation plot data and Ellenberg indicator values for light had allowed a preliminary classification of vascular plants, this method was only partly applicable for bryophytes and lichens, because cryptogams have often not been consistently included in the sampling of forest understorey, and because there are only negligible plot data for epiphytic and rock-dwelling species. This entails a stronger weight of expert judgements in these groups.
Preliminary data were submitted to experts for review. Experts submitted comments and suggestions concerning methodology and group definitions as well as re-classification of taxa. Incoming expert judgements were compiled and adapted into the revised lists. In the case of bryophytes and lichens workshops delivered final decisions. Problems remaining after the workshops were solved by individual searches (literature, querying of experts).
All native taxa, archaeophytes and neophytes present in the current standard lists for Germany were considered. Association with forest was usually judged at species level. Where useful and feasible, subspecies, varieties etc. were considered. Where the association was doubtful, the classification was done at the respective higher taxonomic level, which may result in classifications at the level of species groups or aggregates.
Beyond association with forests and substrates (cryptogams), supplementary information on Ellenberg indicator values (light, temperature, continentality, moisture, soil reaction and nutrients) was extracted from the GermanSL 1.2 reference list.
A taxonomic monograph of the ascomycete genus Taeniolella (asexual dematiaceous hyphomycetes, sexual
morphs unknown) is provided. Recent phylogenetic analyses demonstrated the polyphyly of this genus. The type species
of Taeniolella pertains to the Kirschsteiniotheliaceae within Dothideomycetes, while other saprobic species clustered
far away within Sordariomycetes, Savoryellaceae s. lat., and Lindgomycetaceae, whereas lichenicolous species belong
to a monophyletic clade that represents the order Asterotexiales, but for most species assigned to Taeniolella sequence
data and phylogenetic analyses are not yet available. The main focus of the present taxonomic study was on a revision
of the lichenicolous Taeniolella species. Since the currently available phylogenetic analyses do not allow final taxonomic
conclusions at generic rank, the exclusion of lichenicolous species from Taeniolella s. lat. has been postponed pending a
broader sampling and more phylogenetic data of allied ascomycete genera within the order Asterotexiales. For the interim,
Taeniolella s. lat., including lichenicolous and saprobic species, is maintained. The taxonomic background, history, generic
description and discrimination from morphologically confusable genera, phylogeny, biology, host range and distribution,
and species concept of Taeniolella species are briefly outlined and discussed. Keys to the species of Taeniolella divided by
ecological groups (lichenicolous taxa, saprobic taxa) are provided, supplemented by a tabular key to lichenicolous species
based on host (lichen) families and genera. Twenty-nine lichenicolous species and a Taeniolella sp. (putative asexual
morph of Sphaerellothecium thamnoliae) as well as 16 saprobic species are described in detail and illustrated by drawings,
macroscopic photographs, light microscopic and SEM micrographs, including six new lichenicolous species (T. arctoparmeliae
on Arctoparmelia separata, T. lecanoricola on Lecanora rupicola, T. thelotrematis on Thelotrema, T. umbilicariae and T.
umbilicariicola on Umbilicaria, T. weberi on Thelotrema weberi), three new saprobic species (T. filamentosa on Salix, T.
ravenelii on Quercus, T. stilbosporoides on Salix caprea), and one new combination, T. arthoniae.
Most saprobic Taeniolella species are wood-inhabiting (on bark, decorticated trunks and twigs, rotten wood), whereas
lichenicolous species grow on thalli and fruiting bodies (mostly apothecia) of lichens, mostly without causing any evident
damage, but they are nevertheless confined to their host lichens, or they are obviously pathogenic and cause either disease
of the thalli (e.g., Taeniolella chrysothricis and T. delicata) or at least thallus discolorations or necroses (e.g., T. christiansenii, T.
chrysothricis, T. cladinicola, T. pseudocyphellariae, and T. strictae). Taeniolella atricerebrina and T. rolfii induce the formation of
distinct galls. The range of micro-morphological traits for taxonomic purposes is limited in Taeniolella species, but size, shape
and septation of conidiophores and conidia, including surface ornamentation, provided basic characters. Mycelium, stromata
and arrangement of conidiophores are less important for the differentiation of species. Lichenicolous species are widespread
on a wide range of lichens, with a focus in the northern hemisphere, mainly in northern temperate regions, including arcticsubartic
habitats (18 species, i.e., 62 % of the lichenicolous species). Eleven lichenicolous species, e.g., T. pseudocyphellariae,
T. santessonii, T. thelotrematis, T. umbilicariae, are also known from collections in non-temperate Asia, Australia and South
America (38 % of the species). Most collections deposited in herbaria are from northern temperate to arctic-subarctic regions,
which may reflect activities of lichenologists and mycologist dealing with lichenicolous fungi in general and Taeniolella in
particular. Most lichenicolous Taeniolella species are confined to hosts of a single lichen genus or few closely allied genera (26
species, i.e., 97 % of the lichenicolous species), but only three species, T. delicata, T. punctata, and T. verrucosa, have wider
hosts ranges.
Excluded, doubtful and insufficiently known species assigned to Taeniolella are listed at the end, discussed, described and
in some cases illustrated, including Talpapellis beschiana comb. nov. (≡ Taeniolella beschiana), Corynespora laevistipitata (≡
Taeniolella laevistipitata), Stanjehughesia lignicola comb. nov. (≡ Taeniolella lignicola), Sterigmatobotrys rudis (≡ Taeniolella
rudis), and Taeniolina scripta (≡ Taeniolella scripta).
This is the first attempt to provide an overview of the lichen diversity of the Alps, one of the biogegraphically most important and emblematic mountain systems worldwide. The checklist includes all lichenised species, plus a set of non- or doubtfully lichenised taxa frequently treated by lichenologists, excluding non-lichenised lichenicolous fungi. Largely based on recent national or regional checklists, it provides a list of all infrageneric taxa (with synonyms) hitherto reported from the Alps, with data on their distribution in eight countries (Austria, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland) and in 42 Operational Geographic Units, mostly corresponding to administrative subdivisions within the countries. Data on the main substrates and on the altitudinal distribution are also provided. A short note points to the main ecological requirements of each taxon and/or to open taxonomic problems. Particularly poorly known taxa are flagged and often provided with a short description, to attract the attention of specialists. The total number of infrageneric taxa is 3,163, including 117 non- or doubtfully lichenised taxa. The richness of the lichen biota fairly well corresponds with the percent of the Alpine area occupied by each country: Austria (2,337 taxa), Italy (2,169), France (2,028), Switzerland (1,835), Germany (1,168), Slovenia (890) and Lichtenstein (152), no lichen having ever been reported from Monaco. The number of poorly known taxa is quite high (604, 19.1% of the total), which indicates that, in spite of the Alps being one of the lichenologically most studied mountain systems worldwide, much work is still needed to reach a satisfactory picture of their real lichen diversity. Thirteen new combinations are proposed in the genera Agonimia , Aspicilia , Bagliettoa , Bellemerea , Carbonea , Lepra , Miriquidica , Polysporina , Protothelenella , Pseudosagedia and Thelidium .
Zusammenfassung In den Jahren von 2009 bis 2012 wurden die Flora und Vegetation der ehemaligen Zeche und Kokerei " Hansa " in Dortmund-Huckarde intensiv floristisch und vegetationskundlich untersucht sowie historische und aktuelle Literaturangaben dieses Bereiches der Montanindustrie ausgewertet. Dabei konnten über einen Zeitraum von annähernd 25 Jahren insgesamt 482 Gefäßpflanzensippen auf den zwei direkt aneinandergrenzenden Industriebrachflächen von Zeche und Kokerei nachgewiesen werden, darunter gefährdete, seltene sowie industrietypische und anökophytische Taxa. Die Vegetationsbestände der Kokereibrache setzen sich aus unterschiedlichen Altersstadien der Sukzession von Pionier-und Hochstaudenstadien bis hin zu spontanen Gehölzbeständen und jungen Vorwaldstadien zusammen. Eine regionale Besonderheit stellen die anökophytischen Pappelgebüsche und -vorwälder dar, die charakteristisch für industriell geprägte Brachflächen im Ruhrgebiet sind. Von diesen Beständen wurden pflanzensoziologische Aufnahmen nach Braun-Blanquet (1964) angefertigt. Des Weiteren wird die Bedeutung dieser Industriebrachenflora für die urbane Biodiversität im Ballungsraum Ruhrgebiet diskutiert.
Abstract Flora and vegetation on the site of the former coal mine and coking plant " Hansa " in Dortmund-Huckarde, eastern Ruhr Area (North Rhine-Westphalia) Between 2009 and 2012 flora and vegetation on the site of the former coal mine and coking plant " Hansa " in the city of Dortmund in the Ruhr Area (North Rhine-Westphalia) were investigated intensively. Further, historical and recent floristic literature about the site was evaluated. Evidence is provided on 482 taxa of vascular plants on the investigated site, including a number of endangered, rare, typical industrial and anecophytic taxa. Vegetation types on the brownfield site range from early pioneer states to young shrub and forest stands. Anecophytic poplar stands are a characteristic vegetation type on urban-industrial derelict land in the Ruhr Area. Relevés of these poplar stands were performed in order to characterize this plant community. The value of the species-rich flora of the investigated brownfield is discussed in relation to the urban biodiversity of the metropolitan Ruhr Area.
Kison, H.-U.,Eckstein, J., Seelemann, A. & Stordeur, R. 2016. First records and noteworthy lichens and lichenicolous fungi from the Harz and the northern prae-Harz (Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony) – Herzogia 29: 451-464.
In total 56 taxa, including 51 lichens, three lichenicolous fungi and two saprobic fungi, are dealt with. Micarea nigella, collected in Lower Saxony, is new to Germany. Records of the following 16 species are new to Saxony-Anhalt: Agonimia flabelliformis, A. globulifera, Arthonia didyma, Arthopyrenia fraxini, A. salicis, Buellia epigaea, Dactylospora saxatilis, Fuscidea lygaea, Helocarpon pulverulum, Melanohalea elegantula, Pertusaria coronata, Pycnora sorophora, Stigmidium eucline, Thelidium minutulum, Trapeliopsis aeneofusca and Verrucaria floerkeana. Eight species represent important recollections after a long time, including four species, Lecidoma demissum, Montanelia panniformis, Ramalina fastigiata and Rhizocarpon hochstetteri, which have been assiged as extinct in the Red List of Saxony-Anhalt, Collema flaccidum and Naetrocymbe punctiformis are threatened with extinction, whereas Peltula euploca and Zwackhia viridis are absent in this list altogether. Furthermore, recent collections for 13 species are reported, including the second record of Steinia geophana from Saxony-Anhalt. Previous records of the species concerned date from a period before the turn of the millennium. Additional collections are listed for 11 species which have been newly reported or recollected in recent years, e.g. second collections of Cladonia polycarpoides and Frutidella pullata for Saxony-Anhalt. Aspilidea myrinii is new to Lower Saxony, Zwackhia viridis has been recollected after 150 years, and Cetrariella commixta is classified in Lower Saxony as extinct since 1958 although a herbarium specimen collected by H. Ullrich in 1988 have been traced, supplemented by two recent collections of this species. Recent collections are listed for six additional species that are very rare or even extremely rare in Lower Saxony.

It was not earlier than in 1996 that the Flat-branched clubmoss Diphasiastrum oellgaardii was described as a new species based on plant material from the Vosges Mountains in France. In the same year it was discovered also in Austria. D. oellgaardii was found on a skiing track in the Austrian part of the Bohemian Forest, where it is associated with the other five central European Diphasiastrum species. The identity of the Austrian plants is confirmed by means of isoenzyme analyses. The differences to the morphologically similar species D. issleri (Rouy) Holub are compiled in a table; of diagnostic importance are the length of the ventral leaf as well as its size in relation to shoot width and internode length. The ecological and phytosociological behaviour of the Austrian population (in open, low growing grassland on shallow, acid and nitrogen poor pionier habitats, associated with Festuca nigrescens, Calamagrostis villosa, Vaccinium myrtillus, Polytrichum commune, Polytrichum juniperinum a. o.) is very similar to colonies found in other regions of central Europe. It is suggested that D. oellgaardii should be classified as critically threatened (category 1) in a new edition of the Red Data Book of Austria.
A checklist of lichens and lichenicolous fungi reported from the German part of the Bohemian Forest Range (the Bavarian Forest) is presented together with the literature sources. The area covered by the checklist is region 37 circumscribed by Grummann (1963). The list comprises 867 species currently accepted as occurring within the area. A further 44 species have been reported from the area, but their occurrence is regarded as doubtful. Seventy-seven mostly infraspecific taxa from 19th century literature sources could not be assigned to any currently accepted name and are listed separately. An overlooked, historical record of Pyxine sorediata (Ach.) Mont. is reported as the first and only German record of this species. A linear increase in the number of reported species, with no sign of saturation in recent years, indicates that the lichen flora of the region is still incompletely known. The biogeographic composition of the lichen flora broadly reflects the climatic conditions within the study area. A significantly higher proportion of northern elements among terricolous lichens could indicate a high proportion of glacial relict species within this group. Because of the incomplete floristic inventory and limited distributional data for lichens in general, these conclusions should be viewed with caution.
For the first time quantitative characteristics of floristic richness and peculiarities of lichen diversity of the large regions of Russia are submitted. By higher level of taxonomical richness and systematical diversity are distinguished Southern Siberia and North of European Russia which are including 70-80% of lichen species of other regions. The lichens flora of South Far East, Southern Siberia and Caucasus are differ by greatest originality at a level of macrolischens. The theoretical estimation of richness lichens flora of regions and Russia as a whole are given on basis of offered of study completeness index. Lichens diversity is higher in mountain regions, than in plains, and at same time in mountain areas it increases from the north at the south, whereas in plains the inverse relationship is observed. On the whole the lichens diversity and richness are increased at regions with a suboceanic or monsoonal climate and/or at mountain regions; plains territories are differ by smaller species richness and a low diversity, it is especial with a droughty continental climate.
We conducted an analysis of 45 reléves in the two forest nature reserves in the Bavarian Northern Limestone Alps designated for long-term research. The Totengraben reserve is located in the Fauna-Flora-Habitat (FFH)-area of the Mangfall Mts., and the Wettersteinwald reserve in the FFHarea of the Wetterstein Mts. The aim of the study was to develop a management-focused, cross-border forest typology grounded in geobotany, conservation, and site-specific ecological principles. We made use of the recently implemented Bavarian Forest Reserve Research programme to survey six permanent 314 m2 circular vegetation plots within the core areas of the reserves. The newly collected data were combined with existing data. The two reserves include the following forest types: upper montane, closed mixed coniferous forest; lowermost semiclosed subalpine spruce forest; and uppermost semi-open subalpine Swiss stone pine forest. The forests near the alpine timberline have been heavily disturbed by centuries of cattle grazing, allowing a massive expansion of secondary rhododendron-mountain pine shrubs. Our findings make possible the conceptualization of a distinction between areas dedicated to conservation and management in the surrounding FFH areas. The mixed coniferous and the subalpine coniferous forest types on sites with higher soil water storage capacity show lower ecological sensitivities for wood biomass utilization. Outside of the reserves, a sustainable forest management plan allowing for multiple forest functions is feasible, provided that some small stands of these types remain unused and may serve as crucial refugia and habitat stepping stones to harbour core populations of relict species. Mixed coniferous and subalpine coniferous forests on shallow, well-drained calcareous sites, in contrast, show high ecological sensitivities for wood biomass utilization and require an especially careful minimum intervention or even a non-intervention management. The geographical information system WINALP can be used to elucidate type-related priorities.
The steppe-like grasslands of the "Badra Lehde - Großer Eller" Reserve are here for the first time analysed and described in detail. 156 original relevés were classified using cluster analysis into seven associations and two communities without rank within the alliances Alysso-Sedion, Seslerio-Festucion pallentis, Festucion valesiacae, Xerobromion, and Cirsio-Brachypodion. Old aerial images show that the communities without rank represent young steppe-like grasslands growing on former arable land whereas the associations mainly represent old steppe-like grasslands. The first floristic gradient resulting from NMDS is most strongly explained by variables representing temperature and water availability of the soil. The second floristic gradient can be explained by former arable land use. Old steppe-like grasslands contain significant more endangered plant species than young grasslands on former arable land, but total species number does not differ between both grassland types. CSR strategy analysis indicates higher importance of C strategy in one community on former arable land but weak differences between the other syntaxa. Xerobromion communities are the most species rich and contain the highest number of endangered plant species. One of the communities without rank on former arable land is moderately species rich, while the other is the most species poor of all communities. Species richness of vascular plants is positively correlated with soil depth, cover of herb layer and the Ellenberg indicator value for soil reaction and negative with the indicator value for temperature. Our study shows that the "Badra Lehde-Großer Eller" Reserve is important for dry grassland conservation due to the general plant species richness and high numbers of species and communities that are rare and endangered.
Lichens are one of the prominent taxonomical indicator groups for changes in forests. Within the course of the research project BIOKLIM, we sampled 125 epiphytic lichens, 5 lichenicolous fungi, and 1 non-lichenized ascomycete in wilding areas, managed areas, and relicts of old-growth forests along four transects in the Bavarian Forest National Park. Our analyses showed that old-growth relicts and wilding areas have a significantly higher diversity and a higher number of red-listed species than managed forests, demonstrating the importance of these areas for the protection and dispersal of endangered lichens and lichenicolous fungi. The rare and threatened lichenicolous fungi Chaenothecopsis viridialba, Sphinctrina anglica, and Sphinctrina turbinata and the critically threatened lichen Mycobilimbia sphaeroides were new records for the Bavarian Forest. The lichen-fungus Sphinctrina tubiformis, presumed extinct in Germany, wasrecovered in the old-growth relict Rachelseeurwald. The following species were classified as indicators of old, nearnatural forests of the Bavarian Forest: Lecanactis abietina, Pyrenula nitida, Micarea cinerea, Microcalicium disseminatum, Loxospora cismonica, and Thelotrema lepadinum. We propose management implications for the managed areas of montane and high montane forests in Central Europe.
From the limestone district Fahner Höhe, situated in the central part of Thuringia (Germany), the bryophyte communities were recorded. Important alliances for this district are communities of the Grimmion tergestinae, Neckerion complanatae, Fissidention taxifolii, Dicranellion heteromallae, Dicrano-Hypnion filiformis, Ulotion crispae, Syntrichion laevipilae, Nowellion curvifoliae, Bryo-Brachythecion rutabuli and Brachythecion rivularis. 35 associations and communities are represented by numerous relevés in 19 tables. Lists of bryophyte species of the nature reserves and a bryogeographic discussion of some characteristic bryophyte species and communities are given.
