In this study, we examined the potential of predicting epiphytic lichen richness based on the richness of a single taxon (fam- ily) of the most conspicuous lichens (macrolichens) in Mediterranean woodlands. Since our working hypothesis is that the richness of some conspicuous elements is tightly connected with the total richness, we expect this connection is maintained even after composition shifts (for instance composition changes between coniferous and oak forests). In order to control the large set of confounding factors at macro- and microclimate scales our present study was conducted in 504 forest stands, which represented awide range of Mediterranean climates, management intensity levels, canopy cover types, and tree sizes. The presence/ absence of epiphytic lichens were determined in 7560 trees, which were dominated by coniferous (Pinus nigra and P. sylvestris) and oak (Quercus ilex ssp. ballota, Q. faginea, and Q. pyrenaica) species. In oak forests, the increased richness of Collemataceae and the complex known as ‘‘rest of Peltigerales’’ was followed by an increase in the overall epiphytic richness, whereas there was a strong positive correlation between Par- meliaceae and total epiphytic richness in coniferous forests. In both cases, the richness of these predictors increased in well-preserved forest stands with dense canopies. Thus, we propose the potential use of Par- meliaceae (for coniferous forests) and the Collemataceae and the ‘‘rest of Peltigerales’’ (for oak forests) as indicators in the Mediterranean region because they have a cosmopolitan distribution, grow in a wide range of environmental conditions, and are correlated with changes in the epiphytic richness caused by for- est disturbances. ?</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 2 ( Estimating epiphytic lichen richness by single families in Mediterranean forests - Aragón, Gregorio; Belinchón, Rocío; Martínez, Isabel; Prieto, Maria )From Duplicate 2 ( Estimating epiphytic lichen richness by single families in Mediterranean forests - Aragón, Gregorio; Belinchón, Rocío; Martínez, Isabel; Prieto, Maria )</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loppi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonini, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Dominicis, Vincenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epiphytic lichens and bryophytes of forest ecosystems in Tuscany (Central Italy)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cryptogamie Mycologie</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">distribution (voyant)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epiphytic bryophytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epiphytic lichens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">forest ecosystems</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Host specificity</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0181158499800165</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">127 - 135</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The distribution of epiphytic bryophytes and lichens on three species of trees (Quercus ilex, Quercus cerris and Fagus sylvatica, representing the forest ecosystems of central Italy at low, medium and high elevations, respectively) was examined with respect to host specificity and habitat differences. Although most species were host-specific, the results suggested that habitat characteristics are more important than phorophyte properties in determining the distribution of lichens and bryophytes. Factors affecting the diversity of the epiphytic flora were different for lichens and bryophytes. In the case of lichens, climatic parameters and forest monospecificity were important factors, whereas tree cover (i.e. shade) and to a certain extent the number of available trees seemed more important for bryophytes.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
