Sandra Looman Talbot John W. Thomson Wilfred B. Schofield Stephen S. Talbot 2000 <p>One hundred eighty-two taxa of lichens including two lichen parasites are reported from Izembek National Wildlife Refuge on the tip of the Alaska Peninsula. <i>Metasphaeria tartarina</i> is new to North America; <i>Scoliciosporum umbrinum</i> is new to Alaska. Wide-ranging, arctic-alpine, and boreal species dominate the lichen flora; a coastal element is moderately represented, while amphi-Beringian species form a minor element. Epigeic lichen abundance is described along a lowland to alpine mesotopographic gradient selected to represent major landscape variation in the refuge. Of six major community types identified, three had significant lichen components.</p> application/pdf 10.1639/0007-2745(2000)103[0379:LOINWR]2.0.CO;2 en The American Bryological and Lichenological Society Lichens of Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, westernmost Alaska Peninsula article
