Estimation of Epiphytic Macrolichen Biomass in Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS), Almora, Uttarakhand, India
The lichen litter fallen on the forest floor from canopy and main branches between elevations of 900-2500 m was estimated for the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS) of Almora district in Uttarakhand, India. The forest of the sanctuary was divided in 5 major forest stands, viz., Quercus, Alnus, Pinus, R...

| description | The lichen litter fallen on the forest floor from canopy and main branches between elevations of 900-2500 m was estimated for the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS) of Almora district in Uttarakhand, India. The forest of the sanctuary was divided in 5 major forest stands, viz., Quercus, Alnus, Pinus, Rhododendron and Mixed. At each stand ten, 1-m2 quadrats were randomly placed and the lichen litter was collected in April 2013. Lichen biomass was highest in Quercus stand (2.55 g m-2) followed by Alnus (2.33 g m-2), Mixed stand (2.00 g m-2), Rhododendron (0.82 g m-2), and Pinus with the lowest lichen litter biomass (0.21 g m-2). The highest biomass was recorded for Matrix lichens (0.8944 g m-2), followed by Forage lichens (0.6976 g m-2) and Cyanolichens (0.0064 g m-2). |
