Dissertation
Ecophysiology of the cyanolichen Lobaria oregana

Creator:

Antoine, Marie E.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three manuscripts describing ecophysiological research on the cyanolichen Lobaria oregana. The first manuscript includes a re-evaluation of the assumptions underlying past estimates of N fixation by this species and provides an estimate of annual N fixation at the Wind River Canopy Crane (WRCC). Based upon litterfall...
