Opis (eng)

"Lichens, a symbiotic association of fungi and algae, are suitable to serve as a bio-indicator of air pollution due to their ability to absorb toxic materials into their thallus. The photobiont performs photosynthesis; it belongs to blue-green algae, i.e. cyanobacteria and/or green algae; a mycobiont is a fungus from the Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes or Deuteromycetes group. Biodiversity Index (LBI) which was used to determine the effect of phytotoxic gases released from pollutants on the diversity of lichens, especially on Level II Sample Plots with conifers. One of the goals of the study is to determine which species of lichen are the most tolerant and the most sensitive to air pollution. This is one of several different methods that have been developed to monitor the environmental quality. One of them, which was used as basis for obtaining the basic statistical parameters, with the subsequently used T-test that confirmed some of the basic initial assumptions, is the significance of sample surface coverage by lichens. The percentages of lichen coverage of the recordings were obtained with basic photo processing programs, most simply viewed in black and white technique. The results are represented graphically through maps. Different aspects of the current biomonitoring should be compared to the results obtained in practice to date, in order to increase the number of the related studies in the years to come. Lastly, the current studies, progress, and challenges of biomonitoring using lichen as a biological indicator were discussed, and relevant recommendations were formulated. "
