Rock Creek ParkPrevious studiesIn
1982, lichen studies in ROCR were conducted by David Schwartzman and students
at Howard University (Kasim et al. 1982, Schwartzman et al. 1987, 1991). They
found evidence for elevated Pb and Cd in various lichens collected near
Peirce Mill. ROCR 01 was established nearby to provide a basis for comparison
with results from these previous studies. Site data38.9469N 77.0477W Oak-hickory forest Corticololous lichens in plot 2004 (abundance)Flavoparmelia
