Morphological and Chemical Traits of <i>Cladonia</i> Respond to Multiple Environmental Factors in Acidic Dry Grasslands

Morphological and Chemical Traits of <i>Cladonia</i> Respond to Multiple Environmental Factors in Acidic Dry Grasslands

Terricolous lichen communities in lowlands occur especially in open dry habitats. Such communities are often dominated by species of the genus <i>Cladonia</i>, which are very variable in morphology, reproduction strategies, and secondary metabolites. In this work, we investigated traits-...
