Increased snow accumulation reduces survival and growth in dominant mat-forming arctic-alpine lichens

Abstract Relative growth rates (RGR) and carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs) were quantified in four dominant terricolous arctic-alpine mat-forming lichens with different preferences for snow cover. The aim was to evaluate the effects of snow depth, and thus snow cover duration, on lichen growt...
