Dot lichen is a type of lichen that typically grows on tree bark in temperate forest regions. It is characterized by its small, dotted appearance which may blend well with the bark, making it less conspicuous. Unlike many other lichens, dot lichen plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by contributing to the decomposition of dead organic material and aiding in nutrient cycling.
