This is a survey of the lichens on a 30-year-old poplar in field at the start of Mary Wanda. It blew down about two weeks ago, but stayed off the ground until I cut it up into roughly 14-15" segments yesterday. I numbered and carried the pieces back, and now I will set about counting the lichens on it.
Okay, so I only had the patience to do pieces 1, 5, 11, 16, 20, 26, 31, 36 and 41 nine pieces out of 41, or 22% of them. I measured the approximate area of all the crustose and foliose specimens, and the longest dimension of the fruticose ones. Where many specimens are confluent, I lumped them all together. Otherwise, you should be able to get some idea of age and/or size distribution within each species at a given level.
