| Summary: | Figure 5 - Environments sampled in molecular studies of cyanobacterial diversity. A Arctic tundra on Svalbard; so far only two studies have included cyanolichen specimens from polar environments (Wirth et al. 2003, Kaasalainen et al. 2012) B Boreal forest in central Finland; cyanolichens from boreal forests have been examined in several studies (e.g. Paulsrud and Lindblad 1998, Myllys et al. 2007, Fedrowitz et al. 2011) C Temperate forest in western North America; also cyanolichens from temperate forests have been analyzed in several studies (e.g. Rikkinen et al. 2002, Summerfield et al. 2002, Fedrowitz et al. 2011) D Tropical montane forest in East Africa; so far only two studies have included cyanolichen specimens from tropical ecosystems (Lücking et al. 2009, Kaasalainen et al. 2012).
