About LIAS Glossary

Objectives

Impressum

This glossary provides aims to provide definitions for the terms used in descriptions and during identification of lichens and ascomycetes, especially those terms used in the character and character state definitions of LIAS. It is under ongoing development and we ask all interested researchers to excuse incompleteness and errors.

The glossary is written by native and non-native speakers. If you are a native speaker please help in improving the definitions. Please keep in mind, however, that non-native speakers may occasionally need less concise definitions, and may need definitions of terms a native speaker may take for granted.

The origin of this glossary are both the LIAS character definitions and glossary definitions for the "Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region." Please refer to About Versions for detailed information.

Dedicated to the memory of Bruce Douglas Ryan (* September 13, 1950; † January 22, 2004).
