Parmotrema species in a cloud forest region turned into an urban zone in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico

The cloud forest of Mexico has the highest biodiversity among the country's diverse forest types; however, 90 % of the cloud forest ecosystem in the region of Xalapa has been destroyed and what remains is at risk. This region is home to an enormous diversity of lichen species. In a lichen surve...
