地衣是植物生命的一种独特形式，是藻类和真菌之间共生关系的产物。尽管地衣在北美大部分地区和世界其他地方丰富且多样，但其美丽和重要性长期以来一直被忽视。这本令人惊叹的书是第一本易于理解且权威的北美大陆地衣指南，填补了这一空白，提供了精美的彩色照片、描述、分布图以及识别最常见、最显着或具有生态意义的物种的关键。该书重点介绍了 805 种叶状地衣、果状地衣和壳状地衣（后者很少出现在流行指南中），并在注释或注释中介绍了另外 70 种地衣的信息，特别关注北美特有的物种。全面的介绍讨论了地衣的生物学、结构、用途和生态意义，并配有 90 张附加彩色照片和许多线条图。大多数物种都提供了英文名称，本书还包括解释技术术语的术语表。这本视觉丰富、信息丰富的书将让世界各地的自然爱好者大开眼界，了解迷人的地衣世界。
Lichens are a unique form of plant life, the product of a symbiotic association between an alga and a fungus. The beauty and importance of lichens have long been overlooked, despite their abundance and diversity in most parts of North America and elsewhere in the world. This stunning book - the first accessible and authoritative guidebook to lichens of the North American continent - fills the gap, presenting superb colour photographs, descriptions, distribution maps, and keys for identifying the most common, conspicuous, or ecologically significant species. The book focuses on 805 foliose, fruticose, and crustose lichens (the latter rarely included in popular guidebooks) and presents information on another 70 species in the keys or notes, special attention is given to species endemic to North America. A comprehensive introduction discusses the biology, structure, uses, and ecological significance of lichens and is illustrated with 90 additional colour photos and many line drawings. English names are provided for most species, and the book also includes a glossary that explains technical terms. This visually rich and informative book will open the eyes of nature lovers everywhere to the fascinating world of lichens.
