Epiphytic lichen diversity along elevational gradients: biological traits reveal a complex response to water and energy (2015, background): “Concerning the photobiont, lichens in symbiosis with Trentepohlia algae are more adapted to warm climates, confirming that the photobiont type can mediate the response to global warming (van Herk et al., 2002; Aptroot & van Herk, 2007; Marini et al., 2011b).”
Arctic warming on two continents has consistent negative effects on lichen diversity and mixed effects on bryophyte diversity (2012, background): “An indication for this scenario is the recent migration of southerly lichens into the Netherlands where arcticalpine/boreo-montane species appear to be declining (Van Herk et al., 2002).”
Response of British lichens to climate change scenarios: Trends and uncertainties in the projected impact for contrasting biogeographic groups (2007, background): “…with documented shifts in the lichen flora of the Netherlands, where boreo-montane elements are declining and tropical elements are increasing (Van Herk et al., 2002), and are consistent with general trends projected across contrasting biological groups for Britain (Berry et al., 2002, 2005,…”
