MARC recordExperiments on lichen growth. 2. Effects of a seasonal snow cover / James B. Benedict.
| Title: | Experiments on lichen growth. 2. Effects of a seasonal snow cover / James B. Benedict. |
| Author(s): | Benedict, James B. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Arctic and Alpine Research. (1991.), Vol. 23(2) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Lichens were monitored for 26 months at two neighbouring transplant sites environmentally similar to each other except for differences in windiness and consequent snow accumulation and lichen-drying rates, on east slope of Colorado Front Range. Results suggest that zoned lichen communities in this area are more likely to have resulted from episodic snowkill than from slow growth beneath seasonal snow cover. |
