There have been various research articles that have been read till date and some of them have been playing a vital role in understanding the role of them in making the research successful and to get extra information about the lichens.
Sevgi, E., Yılmaz, O. Y., Çobanoğlu Özyiğitoğlu, G., Tecimen, H. B., & Sevgi, O. (2019, April 15). Factors Influencing Epiphytic Lichen Species Distribution in a Managed Mediterranean Pinus nigra Arnold Forest. Diversity, 11(4), 59. https://doi.org/10.3390/d11040059
This research studies the growth of lichens in different factors. The authors have tried to include many factors including elevation and sunlight and other environmental factors. The presence of various kinds of elements are different elevations has been analysed. The main focus was on getting the species composition variance in different topography and climate. This article was helpful while conducting the research because It helped as in knowing the importance of different elevations. This also helped in considering other factors along with elevation to get the desired results.
Next, in the initial stages, this research article is helping alot
Armstrong, R. A. (2015). The influence of environmental factors on the growth of lichens in the field. In D. K. Upreti, P. K. Divakar, V. Shukla, & R. Bajpal (Eds.), Recent advances in lichenology: modern methods and approaches in biomonitoring and bioprospection (Vol. 1, pp. 1-18). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-2181-4_1
This article was important part of the beginning of research as it explained about Microclimatic interactions, such as those between temperature, moisture, and light intensity, are crucial in determining regional variations in development, especially in relation to the aspect and slope of a rock surface or the height of a tree. Growth can be influenced by substratum-related factors like as type, chemistry, texture, and porosity. Additionally, bird droppings, nitrogen, phosphate, salinity, or pollution-related nutrient enrichment of the substratum can have an impact on growth. Also, it then provides for the positive and negative weathers for growth of lichens
other sources are also being researched so that more ways can be found out.
