Lichen decline in areas with increased nitrogen deposition might be explained by parasitic fungi : A survey of parasitic fungi on the lichen Alectoria sarmentosa after 4 years of nitrogen fertilisation

Nitrogen (N) deposition in Europe has recently increased and is expected to continue to increase in the future. There is a well-documented decline in lichen diversity with higher N availability, although the mechanisms behind this are poorly known. In this study, I tested whether attacks by fungal p...
