LICHALP

Bellemerea subsorediza (Lynge) R. Sant.

Syn.: Aspicilia subsorediza (Lynge) R. Sant., Lecidea subsorediza Lynge

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks, bark

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the nival belt (above the lower limit of perennial snow and glaciers)

Note: on siliceous rocks in open lichen communities (e.g. near glaciers); probably more widespread in the Alps, but overlooked, being most often sterile.
