Lange, OL/ Kilian, E 1985: Reaktivierung der Photosynthese trockener Flechten durch Wasserdampfaufnahme aus dem Luftraum: Artspezifisch unterschiedliches Verhalten. - Flora176: 7-23. [RLL List # 127-104 / Rec.# 11031] Keywords: PHOTOSYNTHESIS/ WATER RELATIONS/ PHYSIOLOGY/ REACTIVATION RESPONSE
Abstract: 2 tables. 9 figures. ["The present investigation compares different types of lichens from different climatic regions with respect to their ability to be activated by water vapor uptake." Results show that "habitat adaptations are clearly recognizable" and that "... there are also distinct differences between lichen types in the response to moistening with liquid water." The gelatinous lichens apparently depend entirely on liquid water for photosynthetic acitivation unlike all the others.]
