Abstract: 16 figures. 2 tables. [A study of distributional patterns and habitat conditions of Chilean "fog oasis" lichens in Fray Jorge National Park. Authors describe two major lichen associations and discuss the lichen species' abilities to absorb water vapor from fog even though no condensation occurs. Authors measured diurnal courses of light intensity, air temperature, air humidity and lichen thallus temperature during characteristic weather conditions in various seasons of the year.]
