“…Rynek Reserve, forest section 53°48' N / 23°13' E ■ Bg-21, Augustów Plain mesoregion, Augustów Forest, Frącki, 53°58'47" N / 23°18'05" E ■ Bg-31, Augustów Plain mesoregion, Augustów Forest, the Augustów Canal, Perkuć Lock, 53°53'56.76" N / 23°19'07.81" E. In Augustów Forest, it was previously recorded only by Czyżewska et al [6]. Anisomeridium polypori is a nearly cosmopolitan species with a broad ecological amplitude [23].…”

“…In the Augustów Forest, it was reported from only few localities -Starożyn, Perkuć, Kozi Rynek nature reserves [2,3,6,29]. This is an indicator species for old and biologically rich forests in Poland [2].…”

“…In the last decade, intensity of research on the distribution of lichens in Poland increased noticeably, using new methods and technologies. As a result, many new stands of different lichen species have been described [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], including new stands from Augustów Forest.…”
