Die Flechten Mitteleuropas: Bestimmung und Beschreibung der wichtigsten Arten

Description:

3rd edition. Text German. Lichens are extraordinary organisms. They are not plants in the true sense, but rather compound organisms consisting of a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. Many species withstand harsh climatic conditions and can live for several hundred years. This field guide, richly illustrated with stunning photographs, reliably identifies the most important lichen species of Central Europe and provides extensive information on their distribution, ecology, and diverse indicator functions. This third edition has been thoroughly revised, updated and expanded to include more than 430 species.
