Lichen Inventory
Southwest Alaska Network. 2020. Lichen Inventory. Southwest Alaska Network
Lichens are an important component of biological diversity and are sensitive indicators of air quality and climate. Despite their ecological importance in southwest Alaska, there has been a general lack of information regarding lichen occurrence in the Southwest Alaska Network parks. To address this information need, we partnered with Oregon State University to conduct a lichen inventory of its three largest parks: Katmai and Lake Clark national parks and preserves and Kenai Fjords National Park.
