Physiological performance of a foliose macrolichen Umbilicaria antarctica as affected by supplemental UV-B treatment
To date, a limited knowledge is available about Umbilicaria antarctica responses when it is exposed high doses of UV-B radiation. It is well established that resistance of Antarctic lichens to natural UV-B levels including increased doses during ozone hole period is high, thanks to numerous photopro...
