| Abstract | We investigated the lichen "ora of the main habitats existing in Rodnei Mountains identifying 283 lichen species, and one subspeci#c taxon. Of these, 67 taxa are new records for the lichen "ora of Romania, and 182 species are reported for the #rst time in Rodnei Mountains. Considering previous reports and our results, 442 lichen taxa are reported in Rodnei Mountains region in total, accounting for approx. 35% of the total lichen "ora of Romania. When comparing the Red Lists of Romania and surrounding Carpathian countries, our data revealed the presence of a high number of threatened species in the region. 102 Folia Cryptog. Estonica et al. (2002). Four main substrates were con- sidered in each circular plot of 1 ha: trees, dead wood, soil and rock, and for each we applied 6 relevés. If the substrate was not available or it was not colonised with lichens, it was substitued with other available substrates, thus achieving 24 relevés in each plot. All lichen species within a relevé surface of 0.2 m2 were collected (except the crustose lichens from rocks). The investigated habitats are well repre- sented in the Rodnei Mountains and follow an altitudinal gradient from wooded meadows to mixed and coniferous forests, to Pinus mugo shrubs and alpine vegetation with bare rocks. - els: conserved and managed (except Pinus mugo shrubs and wooded meadows, for which only one type of management was found in the study area). There were seven replicated circular plots of 1 ha for each habitat with its corresponding levels of conservation (i.e., 56 plots in total). The minimum distance between the plots was 100 m. The selection of the 9 sampling localities (Fig. 1) aimed at covering the types of habitat and stand characteristics (Table 1) of the investigated area. on morphological and chemical characteristics using mostly the keys of Smith et al. (2009), Wirth (1995) and Tønsberg (1992). For the crustose sterile species and the specimens that needed chemical analyses for was used according to the methods described in White & James (1985) with solvents A, B and C. The specimens are stored in the Herbaria of “Alexandru Borza” Botanical Garden, Babe - Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. |
