Wetmore CM. 1984. Lichens and air quality in Acadia National Park
FIELD WORK: Summer 1983. FLORA - LICHEN: Over 3366 lichens were collected at 57 localities within the Park. Localities were chosen to be representative of the general coverage in the park and to sample all vegetation types. The total lichen flora at each locality was sampled. 160 species are listed, including 12 species not found but previously reported. Lists rare species found in the Park. Crustose lichens are not treated in this paper. AIR QUALITY: Elemental analysis of several lichen species from different localities showed sulfur levels were within typical limits, air quality (pollution) damage was not apparent. Contains table of chemical analysis results. Lists species sensitive to sulfur dioxide, and maps their localities on Mount Desert Island, Isle au Haut, and Schoodic /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Flying Mountain/Breakneck Ponds/Lake Wood/Man of War Brook/Duck Brook/Oak Hill Cliff/Hodgdon Pond/Big Heath/Dorr Mountain/Sargent Mountain/Ship Harbor/Upper Hadlock Pond/Norumbega Mountain/Cadillac Mountain/Otter Point/Seal Cove/Great Hill/St. Sauveur Mountain/Bass Harbor Head/Bubble Pond/Eagle Lake/Seal Harbor/The Triad/Beech Mountain/Ripple Pond/Kebo Mountain/Mansell Mountain/Pine Hill/Huguenot Head/Champlain Mountain/ISLE AU HAUT/Great Meadow Bog/Bowditch Trail/Jerusalem Mountain/SCHOODIC PENINSULA/The Anvil/Schoodic Head/ISLANDS/Little Moose Island/Big Moose Island/Schoodic Head GIS-CATEGORY 2 ; Flora: Contains map of collection localities and a distribution map of each species sensitive to SO2
