Mineral Cycling and Lichens: The Physiological Basis

摘要: A number of physiological processes relevant to the role lichens in mineral cycling are discussed. Consideration is given cellular location positively-charged cations, showing (a) benefits quantifying intracellular elements for interpretation toxic metal stress, and (b) how distribution patterns physiologically essential may be altered by desiccation rehydration under field laboratory conditions. The quantitative significance these dynamic associated with uptake loss requires verification modified sequential elution procedure proposed that enables quantification insoluble paniculate matter (acquired wet dry deposition) addition soluble intercellular, extracellular-exchangeable sites.
