Diverzita lišajníkov Prírodnej rezervácie Klapy (CHKO Strážovské vrchy)

We present the outputs of a pilot lichenological survey of the Nature Reserve Klapy (NW Slovakia, 6.22 ha), an elevation point topped with limestone cliffs and outcrops, being a part of a klippen-belt which lines the Inner Western Carpathians. The list comprises 122 taxa recorded in forest biotopes and xerotherms, on tree bark, rocky substrates and on soil. The most interesting entries are: Agonimia vouauxii, so far not reported from Slovakia, and species with few records until now, e. g. Piccolia ochrophora, Xanthoria sorediata, Dirina stenhammari and Leptogium turgidum. Distinct macrolichen components of limestone rock faces include Anaptychia ciliaris, Physconia muscigena, Phaeophyscia sciastra, Physcia dimidiata, P. tribacia, Psora testacea, Ramalina pollinaria. Species of rock fissures include e.g. Leptogium schraderi, Toninia aromatica and T. taurica.
