[" Lichens are prominent examples of symbiotic organisms, combining fungi and algae and/or cyanobacteria in an intimate biological union. This volume provides an up-to-date account of these fascinating organisms, beginning with anatomical, morphological and physiological aspects. As important components of many terrestrial ecosystems, their ecophysiology is emphasized and their role in carbon and nitrogen fixation, as well as in mineral cycling, is considered. An overview of lichen biogeography and systematics is also provided in the light of modern perspectives in evolution.
