Description :
This paper presents a critical review of previous lichenometric and lichen growth studies in southern parts of West and East Greenland. Particular emphasis is placed on those studies examining the role played by climatic continentality on the growth rate of crustose lichens in Greenland. The latter part of the paper presents new data on lichen growth rates from Sermilik, between 2001 and 2006, in 22 different lichen species. Results and discussion.
