Abstract

The epiphytic lichens of three flood-plain forests of the River Danube (Germany, Bavaria) were studied. According to the German Red List 24 of the 45 species found are endangered or rare, illustrating the importance of these forests for nature conservation. Further, the study compared the lichen flora of 10 tree species. Bark structure and chemical composition as well as bark specific temperature and water supply seem to strongly influence lichen settlement. Common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) had the richest lichen flora, followed by Pendunculate Oak (Quercus robur) and Black Poplar (Populus nigra).
