Flora of the Mavigliano Wood (Cosenza, Calabria). 1. – The Lichens
A list of 157 species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi is reported from the Mavigliano Wood (Calabria, S Italy). Eight species are new to Calabria. The flora contains some interesting indicators of air purity and long ecological continuity of the woods. A small station hosting foliicolous lichens has also been found. The biodiversity is remarkably high for a site next to an incinerator with a great environmental impact.
