“…Modern lichen-based environmental analyses provide low cost, high-resolution spatial tools for modelling and mapping the effects of environmental change, when compared to the traditional networks of pollution or climate monitoring stations, allowing its detection, assessment and monitoring at the ecosystem level (Branquinho et al 2008;Pinho et al 2008b). They are powerful ecological indicators of pollution (Giordani, Brunialti & Alleteo 2002;McMurray, Roberts & Geiser 2015) and of macro and microclimate change (Aptroot & Van Herk 2007;Pinho, M aguas & Branquinho 2010;Matos et al 2015;Root et al 2015). Lichen-based thresholds were used to establish the lowest critical levels for nitrogen concentration and critical loads for nitrogen deposition in Europe and the USA, contributing to the protection of ecosystem services and functions in both natural and semi-natural ecosystems (Cape et al 2009;Pardo et al 2011;Pinho et al 2012;Root et al 2015).…”

“…The consensus view is that epiphytic lichen communities are excellent bioindicators of both air quality and climate in forests (McMurray, Roberts, & Geiser, 2015). Yet the question remains whether lichens will be more sensitive to climate change than other kinds of vegetation, such as vascular plants.…”

“…Similar CL Ndep of 1.4 kg ha À1 yr À1 wet deposition were estimated by Saros et al (2010) to elicit key diatom changes in lakes of the eastern Sierra Nevada and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystems. Slightly higher estimates of CL Ndep of 1.0-3.0 kg ha À1 yr À1 were made by Baron et al (2011) for sensitive alpine lakes in the western USA, and estimates of CL Ndep for alpine vegetation include 3 kg N ha À1 yr À1 (Bowman et al, 2012) and 4 kg N ha À1 yr À1 (McMurray et al, 2015).…”
