Abstract
Field evidence for an acid rain effect on lichens at two sites in Northern England is presented. Well established populations of Lobaria pulmonaria on oak, and Sticta limbata on ash trees in remote rural areas were observed to decline to the point of extinction. This was accompanied by bark acidification. Only lichens containing a blue-green algal component and growing in habitats poorly buffered on the acid side were affected. This phenomenon is discussed in the context of general acid rain effects on lichens.
