The Dolichens project provides the first dynamic inventory of the lichens of the Dolomites (Eastern Alps, Italy). Occurrence records were retrieved from published and grey literature, reviewed herbaria, unpublished records collected by the authors, and new sampling campaigns, covering a period from 1820 to 2022. Currently, the dataset contains 56,251 records, referring to 1,719 infrageneric taxa, reported from 1820 to 2022, from hilly to nival belts, and corresponding to about half of the species known for the whole Alpine chain.

Article Synopsis
  • - A checklist of 916 lichen species was compiled for the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park in northern Italy, based on extensive research from literature, herbaria, and field observations.
  • - This area is a significant hotspot for lichen diversity, representing 30.1% of the lichen species found in the entire Alpine region, despite occupying only 0.064% of its land area.
  • - The findings underscore the necessity of detailed species inventories to enhance our understanding of biodiversity, taxonomy, ecology, and conservation efforts; three species were newly identified in Italy, along with 18 others in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.
