A systematic review on biomonitoring using lichen as the biological indicator: A decade of practices, progress and challenges

Various methods have been developed to monitor environmental quality, including biomonitoring using lichen. In this paper, a total of 143 previous studies from the last decade were analyzed to gain insight into current practices, progress, and challenges. Content analysis was employed to systematica...
