Interestingly, tephromela lichen lichens can thrive in harsh environments, demonstrating remarkable resilience to extremes such as drought and temperature fluctuations. Their ability to absorb atmospheric nutrients makes them important bioindicators, helping scientists monitor environmental quality and detect air pollution levels.
