Description
Sea fog lichens are a fascinating group of lichens known for their unique ability to thrive in coastal fog zones. They are typically found clinging to rocks or soil in arid to semi-arid environments. One interesting fact about sea fog lichens is their incredible resilience; they can survive long periods without water, absorbing moisture from the fog. These lichens also play a crucial role in their ecosystems, helping to stabilize soil and providing a habitat for various microorganisms.
