Abstract: | Schulze, H.; Hensen, I.; Wesche, K.; Stordeur, R.: The distribution of epigean lichens and their relationship to particular plant communities in the nature reserve “Harslebener Berge und Steinholz” (Saxony- Anhalt). - Hercynia N.F. 37: 73–85.The nature reserve “Harslebener Berge und Steinholz“ is characterised by a great diversity of substrates and microclimatically different habitats, which are relatively rich in lichens. The present study analyses how the distribution of epigean lichens depends upon the structure of the vegetation and site conditions in five dry grassland and dwarf shrub communities. An indicator species analysis revealed that each of the communities Spergulo morisonii-Corynephoretum, Thymo-Festucetum cinereae and Euphorbio-Callunetum was characterised by specific lichen species. These patterns were in most cases easily explained by preferences for certain site conditions such as exposure, humus type, coverage of phanerogams, soil pH-value and inclination. In steppe vegetation communities dominated by Stipa species (Stipetum stenophyllae, Festuco valesiacae-Stipetum capillatae), which are characterised by the presence of highly competitive tall phanerogams, no lichen species were found to be specific for these associations. However, the present analysis is only valid on a local scale since the general habitat preferences of lichens in relation to plant communities are poorly known so far. |
