Impacts of Cd Pollution on the Vitality, Anatomy and Physiology of Two Morphologically Different Lichen Species of the Genera <i>Parmotrema</i> and <i>Usnea</i>, Evaluated under Experimental Conditions

Impacts of Cd Pollution on the Vitality, Anatomy and Physiology of Two Morphologically Different Lichen Species of the Genera <i>Parmotrema</i> and <i>Usnea</i>, Evaluated under Experimental Conditions

The heavy metal Cd accumulates in trophic chains, constituting a toxic element for photosynthesizing organisms, including the algal photobionts of lichen. Thus, as lichens respond differently to heavy metal toxicity, we hypothesized that the species <i>Parmotrema tinctorum</i> and <i&...
