摘要

A delicate crushable tundraIt is pretty hard to find a garden, especially an old one, without lichens. The rich palette of lichen textures, forms and colours reminds us that the living world is not just utilitarian, but lavishly aesthetic. Lichens convert garden substrates into dappled tapestries, festoons of thalli and carpeted dingles. Patinas of lichens add character to wood, stone and soil, as well as to human-crafted compounds such as glass and metal, plastic and paint. Every garden substrate offers a blank canvas of inhabitable real estate for enterprising lichens.Although often overlooked, lichens are integral members of gardens. Poet and environmentalist Judith Wright lamented the 'delicate crushable tundra' of'lichens, mosses and fungi' that are vulnerable to human indifference. Lichens not only delight and charm, but perform vital ecological functions. Many possess anti-herbivorychemicals and some that grow on trees impart this protection to their woody hosts, shielding them from insect attack. Lichens extract water from wafts of mist or dew, trapping humidity and creating favourable microclimates for garden plants. They also retrieve nutrients from the moisture they absorb, as well as from the air. All lichens fix carbon and many fix nitrogen. Birds seek lichens in gardens to line and camouflage their nests. Perhaps most significantly, lichens provide something that is in short supply in many Australian gardens — soil.
