Losses of Polyol through Leaching in Subarctic Lichens.
Upon rewetting, lichens lose polyols through leaching. We quantified leaching losses for 21 species under simulated rainfall. Polyol concentrations in these lichens range from 1.0 to 8.8%, with a mean of 2.8%. Leaching losses range up to about 7.5 mg (polyol)/g (lichen dry weight) in a typical rain event. The rate of polyol leaching declines exponentially, becoming negligible within 1 hour of c...

متن کاملLichens
What are lichens? The term lichen refers to a symbiotic association between a filamentous fungus, the ‘mycobiont’, and at least one photosynthetic organism, the ‘photobiont’, consisting of a micro alga, a cyanobacterium, or both (Figure 1). Although the symbiotic nature of lichens was first revealed in 1867, the development of a lichen thallus is often so integrated (Figure 1D) that they have b...
متن کاملMitigating Disaster Losses through Insurance
Losses from natural disasters have increased in recent years due to growth of population in hazard-prone areas and inadequate enforcement of building codes. This article first examines why homeowners have not voluntarily adopted cost-effective protective measures and have limited interest in purchasing insurance. It then proposes a disaster-management program which utilizes insurance coupled wi...
