Lichens occurring in the Pinewoods in Glen Affric

Compiled by B.J. Coppins 16 September 2000

This is a combined annotated species list for the pinewood areas, compiled from records made by B.J. Coppins from 1975-2000, jointly (on different occasions) with A.M. Coppins, P.W. James, F. Rose, L. Tibell, and with members of the British Lichen Society on the Native Pinewood Workshop (July 2000).

The list does not include records from Badger Falls. Most records are from around Dog Falls and from Pollan Bhuidhe.

The list mostly excludes species found only on rocks.

The list for substrata is by no means comprehensive. Full information is not available for all species, i.e. where the record is taken from a cross-off card only.

Status
Legal protection: S8 = on Schedule 8 of Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Red Data Book: VU = Vulnerable.
Rarity: Nr = Nationally Rare (1-15 10km grid squares in UK); Ns = Nationally scarce (16-100 10km grid squares).

Substrata
Al = Alnus; B = Betula; Cl = Calluna; L or ~L = lignum; P = Pinus; Po = Populus; S = Salix; Sb = Sorbus; Sx = saxicolous; T = terricolous; -by = on bryophytes; -r = on roots; -tw = twigs
