Transplanting Lichen Fragments for Provenance-Clone Tests

摘要: Lichen species have generally a very broad geographical distribution and grow in ecologically different habitats. We therefore expect ecotype differentiation between populations. Transplantation experiments with vegetative diaspores adult thalli of the threatened foliose lichens Lobaria pulmonaria, Sticta sylvatica, Parmotrema crinitum been used successfully for situ conservation these [2]. When transplanting purposes, design is often rather simple. In order to detect adaptation, more complex experimental designs are required [3]. One such design, known as provenance test, throughout wide range disciplines, e.g. forestry research.
