Brief Description (Abstract):

The occurrence of 35 species of lichens in 31 sites in Schirmacher Oasis and seven neighbouring Nunataks. Buellia illaetabilis, Carbonea assentiens, Lecanora geophila, L. orosthea, Lecidella stigmatea, Lepraria cacuminum, Rhizocarpon nidificum, Rinodina endophragmia, Sarcogyne privigna, Umbilicaria africana, and Verrucaria holizoa were described as new records for Schirmacher Oasis region, East Antarctica.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The status of each lichen species occurring in the Schirmacher Oasis is also studied, based on the frequency, density and abundance of the taxa. In the present study a total of 21 species are rare, eight are frequent, while Lecidea andersonii, L. cancriformis, Leproloma cacuminum, Rinodina olivaceobrunnea, are common and Acarospora gwynii, and Candelariella flava, are the most common lichens in the region.
