GROWTH RATES OF CLADONIA ALPESTRIS, C. MITIS, AND C. RANGIFERINA IN THE TALTSON RIVER REGION, N.W.T.
Data on the growth rate of lichens are essential to the understanding of the carrying capacities of rangelands used by caribou and reindeer in Canada. Recent Russian literature suggests fruticose lichens have three growth stages. The first stage is one of podetium accumulation. During the second sta...
