Lichen Growth Curves: Parmelia conspersa Study by M Gollo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study compares the radial growth rates (RGR) of the foliose lichen Parmelia conspersa using two methods: a cross-sectional study of 60 thalli and direct measurements of fragments over 4.5 years. Results indicate an initial phase of increasing RGR followed by a more constant phase, with significant growth observed in lobe width during the second growth period. The findings suggest that marginal competition between lobes influences growth patterns and establishment of linear growth phases in foliose lich
