This year, we are sampling transects from 750 m down to 350 m elevation on a steep rocky slope. Last year, we sampled from 850 m to 450 m elevation on a steep sandy slope with smaller rocks interspersed. Rock is the most stable substrate for lichens to grow on in the area and we definitely see more species and more lichen cover on the rocky areas. Sampling both in sandy and rocky areas will help us disentangle the effects of substrate from elevation and fog deposition in driving lichen community composition. Above are some photos from sampling the rocky transects this year. A couple places were so steep that we roped together for safety. We also revisited our sandy transects from last year that were heavily impacted by landslides caused by the heavy rain in Aug. We observed deep wash outs, rills and sheet flooding on large sections of our transects from last year. We are interested to see how these areas recover from the disturbance that removed all vegetation, including lichens. As you might imagine, walking up and down very steep slopes takes a lot of energy! To fuel our work, Peter makes very nice sandwiches!
