摘要：

The present study was undertaken to assess baseline distribution patterns for soil lichens occurring in the principal biomes of southern Africa and to analyse their relationship to selected environmental parameters Among the lichen species found across our survey sites four distinct groups could be delineated each as distinct consortium of lichen species sharing particular morphological characters (e g growth-form pigmentation and type of photobiont kind) These groups are largely correlated with specific environmental parameters These findings suggest that lichens may serve as valuable bio-indicators for evaluating climate and soil change in this region of Africa (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
