“…For example, in a study involving also some of the sites considered in this paper, Dirnböck et al (2013) found that "in European forests oligotrophic species are decreasing in cover, although a decline in species richness is not yet detectable". Similar results were obtained for lichens by Giordani et al (2014). In this paper, however, we concentrate on N deposition effects on tree nutrition and growth and results will be discussed accordingly.…”

“…Species of Sticta play a crucial role in the calculation of Indices of Ecological Continuity for woodland habitats in the British Isles (Coppins and Coppins 2002), as well as in the Pacific Northwest in North America (Tønsberg and Goward 2001;Doering and Coxson 2010;Radies and Coxson 2004;Radies et al 2009). They also indicate very low levels of nitrogen deposit in forests throughout Europe (Giordani et al 2014) and were recently included in newly designed indices for air quality in the Pacific Northwest (Root et al 2015). However, the role of several ecological drivers (woodland extent and continuity, air pollution regime and climate) at regional scale and their interaction are complex, and no single and simple model can be designed to explain the composition and richness of epiphytic lichen vegetation, especially in the framework of climate change (Ellis 2012(Ellis , 2013.…”

“…For example, found PCA scores derived from the ground vegetation at these monitoring plots to be related to tree diameter differentiation and basal area, while epiphytic lichen diversity was strongly correlated with the Clark-Evans index (Giordania et al 2014). However, the assessed indexes of forest structure may be limited in describing the complex requirements of different biota, which is still a major issue (Neumann & Starlinger 2001, Hinsley et al 2002.…”
