claimRecently, lichens have also been found to be highly responsive to rising air temperatures associated with global warming, offering promise to detect biological impacts of climate change in the natural environment on these slow‐growing, long‐lived organisms (Aptroot and van Herk ; Sancho et al. ; Stapper and John ).

claimThe reasons for the contrasting effects of the pollutants on these two lichen species remain obscure, but serve to underline the complexities of disentangling the impacts of oxidized and reduced forms of nitrogen on lichens in the natural environment (Greaver et al. ).
