  1. “ The #Alberta study of replanted & restored forests, published recently in the journal Nature Sustainability, found that birch and aspen #forests and their inhabitants appeared to recover within 25 years, while conifer forests took far longer.

    In conifer forests, understory plants — especially #lichens, #mosses and #liverworts — took 85 years or more to return, and in some cases had not recovered during the century of available data.”

  3. Maritime Sunburst Lichen, Xanthoria Parietina. Spotted this one on a tree on my street. Unlike a lot of lichens, it is somewhat tolerant to air pollution, apparently. I took this using my new camera's focus stacking feature that take multiple photos at different focal lengths and then combines them, which meant I had to use a tripod. Taken on a Canon R7 with a 100mm macro lens.
