Lichen functional traits and light influx in the analysis of environmental quality of subtropical riparian ecosystems

Riparian forests are among the most threatened ecosystems and their conservation are essential for the preservation of biological communities. The main objective of this study was to analyze the environmental quality of riparian forest sites inserted in three environmental matrices (rural, urban, in...
