The lichens of Sugarload Preserve: Final Report.

Abstract

Lichen collections were made at 10 localities in the Sugarloaf Preserve in July, 1995. The total species list shows 134 species present. Additional species lists give the species present at each of the localities. No species were found that are on the Minnesota Endangered/Threatened list. The lichen flora is fairly diverse for this kind of area which has limited vegetational variability. The richest locality for lichens was on the point, especially the rock shores, and the poorest locality was the upper open, flat area near the road.
