Description
Coccocarpia lichen is a lichen known for its distinct appearance, often featuring leafy structures that can be found in tropical and subtropical regions. It typically grows on the bark of trees or on rocks, especially in humid, shaded environments. These lichens play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to break down organic matter and contributing to soil formation. They are also sensitive indicators of air quality, as they thrive in clean environments and are less abundant in areas with high pollution.
