Lange, OL/ Meyer, A/ Zellner, H/ Ullmann, I/ Wessels, DCJ 1990: Eight days in the life of a desert lichen: water relations and photosynthesis of Teloschistes capensis in the coastal fog zone of the Namib Desert. - Madoqua 17(1): 17-30. [RLL List # 142 / Rec.# 11038]
Keywords: TELOSCHISTES/ NAMIBIA/ AFRICA/ FOG ZONE/ FRUTICOSE/ DESERT/ WATER RELATIONS/ DESERT/ PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Abstract: 2 tables. 8 figures (3 in color). ["It is instructive to imagine that every morning after nightly fog and dew for a short period of time Teloschistes capensis in the lichen fields of the Namib Desert is photosynthesizing with rates similar to those of a closed layer of beech leaves in a forest in Germany." Authors estimate a net gain for a year's growth of about 20% of the active biomass of the lichen.]
