Researcher in Lichens

Research Projects

Explore my ongoing and past projects on lichens research.

A close-up view of a rock surface covered with lichen. The lichen displays a textured, almost cracked pattern with small, circular growths. The color varies from light gray to darker shades with hints of green. The ruler at the bottom provides a scale for the size of the lichen-covered area.

Lichen Diversity

Studying various lichen species in diverse habitats.

A cluster of lichen, appearing dry and light in tone, is placed on a dark wooden surface. The lichen is attached to twigs or dried stems, forming a distinct, bulbous shape with a textured, grainy appearance.

Field Studies

Conducting ecological surveys and field observations of lichens.

Close-up image of frilly, textured lichens interspersed with fallen pine needles and dried leaves. The lichens have a wavy, curled structure with a bluish-gray color. The pine needles and leaves are brown, contrasting with the cool tones of the lichens.

Clusters of vibrant red-topped lichen grow densely on the surface of a weathered rock or log, surrounded by patches of green moss and darker soil. The fine, stem-like structures of the lichens contrast with the rough, natural texture of the background, creating an intricate and organic scene.

A close-up view of a tree branch covered in various types of lichen, displaying different shades of pale green and beige. The textures of the lichen vary from leafy to more crusty forms. The background is blurred, consisting of brown and green tones from the forest floor.

A close-up view of a pale green lichen growing on a weathered wooden surface. The lichen appears delicate with intricate, branching structures. Surrounding the main lichen, smaller patches of similar lichen can be seen scattered on the wood. The wooden surface has a rustic, aged texture with various cracks and lines.
