The map lichen (Rhizocarpon geographicum), the lichen most used in lichenometry. Lichenometry can provide dates for glacial deposits in tundra environments, lake level changes, glacial moraines, trim lines, palaeofloods, [9] rockfalls, seismic events associated with the rockfalls, [2] talus stabilization and former extent of permafrost or very persistent snow cover.

Rhizocarpon geographicum (the map lichen) is a species of lichen, which grows on rocks in mountainous areas of low air pollution. Each lichen is a flat patch bordered by a black line of fungal hyphae. These patches grow adjacent to each other, leading to the appearance of a map or a patchwork field.
Lecanora louisianae is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It was formally described as a new species in 1932 by French lichenologist Maurice Bouly de Lesdain. [1] It is common and widespread in the Coastal Plain region of southeastern North America. [2]
Louisiana's ecology is in a land area of 51,840 square miles (134,264 km 2); the state is 379 miles (610 km) long and 130 miles (231 km) wide and is located between latitude: 28° 56′ N to 33° 01′ N, and longitude: 88° 49′ W to 94° 03′ W, with a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa).
Lichenometry relies upon the fact that the maximum diameter of the largest thallus of an epilithic lichen growing on a substrate is directly proportional to the time from first exposure of the area to the environment as seen in studies by Roland Beschel [24] in 1950 and is especially useful in areas exposed for less than 1000 years. Growth is ...
Letharia vulpina, commonly known as the wolf lichen (although the species name vulpina, from vulpine relates to the fox), is a fruticose lichenized species of fungus in the family Parmeliaceae. It is bright yellow-green, shrubby and highly branched, and grows on the bark of living and dead conifers in parts of western and continental Europe and ...
