TY - JOUR TI - Determination of relationship between lichen diversity value and photosynthetic pigment content in Bursa province (Türkiye) AB - In this study, 48 epiphytic lichen species on the trunk of oak trees from seven localities were reported in Bursa province. The correlation between Lichen Diversity Value (LDV) and photosynthetic pigment content at a location were evaluated for each locality. A negative correlation was found between LDV and photosynthetic pigment contents. The LDV was higher in rural areas, and decreased in areas affected by anthropogenic and agricultural activities. LDV values were increased from 21% to 47% from degraded areas exposed to environmental pollution and stress to undisturbed areas, whereas total photosynthetic pigment contents decreased from 39% to 19%, and Phaeophytinization ratio (PR) values from 36% to 30%.
