Lišejníky přírodní rezervace Getsemanka v Brdech

The Brdy Hills represent an island of submontane landscape in the centre of Bohemia. They are an important area for lichen biodiversity and harbour many rare species. The area is quite rich in small fragments of old-growth forests, which are important sites for epiphytic lichens. The studied locality, Getsemanka Nature Reserve (56.64 ha), is one of such sites. It is mainly covered by planted beech and spruce forests, but small areas are occupied by old-growth beech and scree forests. A total of 140 lichen species and seven non- -lichenised fungi have been recorded in the reserve. Micarea perparvula is published here as new to the Czech Republic. Absconditella celata, Alyxoria ochrocheila, Bacidia circumspecta, Brianaria lutulata, Catinaria atropurpurea, Chaenotheca chlorella, Cladonia norvegica, Lecanora intumescens, Parmelia submontana, Pyrenula nitida, Thelotrema lepadinum and Verrucaria cf. maculiformis represent other remarkable records.
