Lichen Growth on an Active Medial Moraine, Jotunheimen, Norway

Abstract Abundant specimens of lichens, including Rhizocarpon geographicum , are reported from an active medial moraine on Storbreen, southern Norway. The size and distribution of two crustose and two foliose species are described. Inferences are made regarding the age, origin and population dynamic...
