Harpers Ferry National Historical ParkPermanent Lichen Biomonitoring Sites in HAFESurrounding the town of Harpers Ferry and the
confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, HAFE is 70% forested
parkland, including eastern deciduous forest in the Blue Ridge to the east,
floodplain forests near rivers and mountain streams, and over 100 acres of
wetlands. Five permanent lichen biomonitoring sites have
been established in the HAFE. At each location, abundance of tree-inhabiting macrolichens was recorded and a
specimen of the common lichen Flavoparmelia caperata was collected for elemental analysis. Floristic
data from a 2006 survey are available, as well as elemental measurements from
samples collected in 2006 and 2009. Links are available to each site location,
where all available data can be obtained. Summary data can also be obtained
