Abstract

An investigation on the lichen flora was conducted in the Ansanto valley, southern Italy, in an area called Mefite, characterized by natural emission of low temperature CO2. The collected samples were phenotypically analyzed, showing the ubiquitous distribution of the genus Rhizocarpon Ramond ex DC. Moreover, was described the influence of this lichen on the local population and was hypothesized a further ethnobotany application.
