Why do lichens disappear from the polluted areas ?
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 2 months ago

Lichens have no vascular system for conducting water or nutrients; as a consequence, they have developed efficient mechanisms for taking up water and nutrients from atmospheric sources. ... Unlike many vascular plants, lichens have no deciduous parts, and hence cannot avoid pollutant exposure by shedding such parts. Lichens do not have roots; instead they receive all their nutrients from the atmosphere. Lichens are sensitive to atmospheric pollution such as nitrogen (N) because they receive all their nutrients and water from wet and dry atmospheric deposition (fall out). Nitrogen deposition can increase the load of nutrients.
