FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Peltigera aphthosa | Green Dog Lichen 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Peltigera aphthosa does not generally occur in recently burned areas
[21,26].  Lichens, including P. aphthosa, are highly flammable under dry
conditions because they desiccate when relative humidity drops [12].
The fact that P. aphthosa commonly grows on humus or moss renders it
highly liable to destruction by fire [26].
