| Résumé : | The ongoing European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) dieback can pose a threat to the biodiversity dependent on ash trees, but the field evidence is scarce. We monitored epiphytic lichens (notably Lobaria pulmonaria) confined to ash trees in an Estonian old-forest remnant affected by the dieback. About half of ash trees were killed in five years, during which even the abundant L pulmonaria (ca. 730 thalli on 74 trees) only produced |
