Title: when using lichens as indicator species for SO2 what should the parameters be?
Post by: pinkacid on Mar 5, 2015
so far i have SO2 µmg, distance from the pollution source (power plant in this example) and number of lichen species

what else would other test parameters would i use along with number of lichen species? (relating to water pollution, air or substrate pollution)

Hello pinkacid,

hey bio i ended up answering acid rain concentrations in tree bark an soil (as this also affects lichens and can skew results and observations)
