The potential use of elemental content of saxicolous lichens as bioindicators of nitrogen deposition in the central and southern California mountains

High elevation and arid wilderness areas generally lack epiphytic lichen species used for air quality biomonitoring. We assessed the potential of saxicolous lichens to serve as bioindicators of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition by examining relationships among deposition, environmental variable...
