Auteurs : ¯VSTEDAL D. O., SMITH R. I. LEWIS
Lichens are the predominant visible life form in ice-free terrestial ecosystems in the Antarctic, yet relatively few descriptive accounts of Antarctic lichens have been published. This volume provides the first modern detailed compilation of their taxonomy, ecology, distribution and relevant published literature. The systematic accounts provide sufficient descriptive information to allow specialists to identify taxa to species level, and are structured so that even non-specialists can use them to identify specimens to at least the generic level.
Preface, Acknowledgements, Introduction, Environment and lichen ecology of Antarctica and South Georgia, Materials and methods, Artificial keys to the genera, Systematic and ecological accounts of the genera and species, References, Glossary, Index of taxa.
