Description
Dimerella lichen is a lichen known for its ability to colonize rocky surfaces and tree bark. It plays an important ecological role by contributing to the formation of soil through the gradual breakdown of substrates. Dimerella lichen often thrives in environments with clean air, making it a useful bioindicator for air quality. Its intricate structure is a fine example of how symbiosis between a fungus and algae can result in a complex, resilient organism.
