Abstract

This paper presents a checklist of 129 lichens recorded for the Papuk Nature Park, including one species new for Croatia, Umbilicaria hirsuta, and eight species new for the area. The fieldwork was carried out at 17 localities in the period 2005-2007. The rare lichen Lobaria pulmonaria was found on old trees at three new sites. A further survey of forest-associated lichens will enable better integration of biodiversity conservation issues in forest management.
