The Water Content Drives the Susceptibility of the Lichen <i>Evernia prunastri</i> and the Moss <i>Brachythecium</i> sp. to High Ozone Concentrations

The Water Content Drives the Susceptibility of the Lichen <i>Evernia prunastri</i> and the Moss <i>Brachythecium</i> sp. to High Ozone Concentrations

The aim of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of lichens (<i>Evernia prunastri</i>) and mosses (<i>Brachythecium</i> sp.) to short-term (1 h), acute (1 ppm) O<sub>3</sub> fumigation under different hydration states (dry, <10% water content, metabolism alm...
