Abstract
The relationship between growth of lichens and environmental factors has been studied within the IBP Tundra Biome by Kärenlampi (1971), and the relationship between CO2 exchange and moisture content of the lichen thallus is fairly well known (reviewed e.g. by Kallio and Kärenlampi, 1975). In the present study a new moisture-time variable is introduced to predict growth, and the correlation between weight increase and photosynthetic capacity is reported.
