Exploiting hot-spots; effective determination of lichen diversity in a Carpathian virgin forest
Fig 5
Revealed species composition compared with data available from Central European old-growth forests.
DCA ordination diagram showing similarities in lichen species composition in our plots (black circles), in the previous inventory ([33]; grey circle) and in another 42 Central European old-growth forest localities (white circles). Numbers at localities correspond to S5 Table. First and second axes are plotted and explain 18.6% of the variability in species data. The size of circles corresponds to the number of species. The plot is divided by the dotted lines into four areas corresponding to the main Central European forest types.
