Lichens survive harsh weather of Antarctica as well as of other hostile environments
worldwide. Therefore, this investigation is important to understand the evolution of life on …

The structure, function, and molecular mechanisms of lichen survival in harsh habitats like
Antarctica and Alpine localities, where environmental extremes change frequently, are …

Lichens are successful colonizers in extreme environments worldwide, and they are
considered to have played an important role during the evolution of life. Here, we have used …

Antarctic lichens have been used as indicators of climate change for decades, but only a few
species have been studied. We assessed the photosynthetic performance of the fruticose …

In this study, we investigated the effects of low temperature on the fast chlorophyll
fluorescence transient (OJIP) and OJIP-derived parameters in chlorolichen Dermatocarpon …

In this study, we investigated responses of the Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI), and
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to gradual dehydration of several Antarctic …

Chlorophyll fluorescence is an effective tool for investigating characteristics of any
photosynthesizing organisms and its responses due to different stressors. Here, we have …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms that are well adapted to desiccation/rehydration cycles.
Over the last decades, the physiological background of their photosynthetic response …

Features of chlorophyll fluorescence transients can be used to investigate low temperature
induced effects on photosystem II of Page 1 CZECH POLAR REPORTS 5 (1): 99-111, 2015 …

Five macrolichens of different thallus morphology from Antarctica (King George Island) were
used for this ecophysiological study. The effect of thallus desiccation on primary …
