It offers a valuable resource, especially for beginners, students and researchers from different academic backgrounds interested in the study of lichens. In recent years, the introduction of modern analytical techniques and approaches has significantly improved our understanding of the environment, including lichens. Lichens are unique organisms which possess untapped potential as effective and reliable bioindicators, sources of therapeutic phytochemicals, and as excellent extremophiles. The unique and peculiar characteristics of lichens underline the need for a multidimensional approach to explore their potential in various fields of environment science, botany and chemistry. Modern techniques, especially molecular techniques, have greatly enriched the field of lichen taxonomy and its position in the plant kingdom, revealing little-known species and exploring their evolutionary history, while multivariate analysis and GIS approaches have established lichens as an ideal and reliable tool for monitoring air pollution. Advanced culture techniques have expanded the pharmacological applications of lichens, which was formerly restricted due to their small biomass. The advent of sophisticated analytical instrumentation has now facilitated the isolation and characterization of lichens? bioactive constituents, even in lower concentrations, as well as the estimation of their stress responses at different levels of pollution. As lichen diversity is adversely affected by increasing air pollution, there is a pressing need to develop effective management practices to conserve, restore and document lichen diversity. 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aMetabolism 606 $aPlant systematics 606 $aPlant taxonomy 606 $aClimate change 606 $aPlant Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aMetabolomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L15030 606 $aPlant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24051 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aMetabolism. 615 0$aPlant systematics. 615 0$aPlant taxonomy. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 14$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aMetabolomics. 615 24$aPlant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography. 615 24$aClimate Change. 676 $a570 676 $a571.6 676 $a577.27 676 $a578.012 702 $aUpreti$b Dalip Kumar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDivakar$b Pradeep K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aShukla$b Vertika$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBajpai$b Rajesh$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298272903321 996 $aRecent Advances in Lichenology$92503010 997 $aUNINA
