Abstract

Evaluation of the lichen catalog of the Serralada Litoral Park This study aims to improve the knowledge of the lichens of the Serralada Litoral Park and, for this purpose, 18 localities have been prospected, trying to represent the majority of existing natural environments. From a total of 825 samples collected, 171 taxa have been identified. Among them, four species are new findings for Catalonia (Bellicidia incompta, Porina ahlesiana, Sarcogyne oceanica and Usnea flammea), and 62 are for the aforementioned Park. On the other hand, we highlight the lichenological interest of localities 5 (Roques d’en Vivó, in Cabrils), 6 (Pradells of therophytes, in La Roca del Vallès) and 12 (Pedrera de la Mercè, in Santa Maria de Martorelles). The first two due to the abundance of saxicolous and terrestrial lichens and the natural interest of the area and the third, additionally, due to the presence of rare species in our country.
