Sažetak
The area of Slavonian mountains Papuk and Krndija was proclaimed as Nature Park in 1999, spreading over an area of 34 307 ha. The elevation extends from 162 to 953 m a.s.l. Papuk is geologicaly the most diverse Croatian mountain, consisting of rocks which originated in a time span of 350 milion years. Since 2007, Nature Park Papuk has been a member of UNESCO Global Geopark Network. It also comprises three areas of Natura 2000 ecological network in Croatia. Forest habitats covers 95% of the Park area, with 11 forest communities composed of Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea, Carpinus betulus, Abies alba, Acer pseudoplatanus, Quercus pubescens and Quercus frainetto. The aim of the research, carried out in June and August 2019, was to determine presence of lichens from the epiphytic alliance Lobarion pulmonariae in Nature Park Papuk. Lichens that belongs to this alliance are known as indicators of biodiversity and conservation of old forest ecosystems in Europe, with pronounced sensitivity to effects of air pollution and forest management practice. A total of 14 lichen species were recorded, mostly from genus Peltigera (7 species), followed by records of Bacidia rosella, Lobaria pulmonaria, Lobarina scrobiculata, Nephroma parile, and Pannaria conoplea. The main phorophytes of Lobarion lichens were Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea, and Quercus pubescens. Tree stem diameter ranged 102-167 cm. Records of Lobarina scrobiculata and Pannaria conoplea are remarkable due to the confirmed occurrence in the continental part of Croatia, for the first time. Their distribution range in Croatia is mostly confined to the Dinaric Mountains, including the coast and islands of the Adriatic Sea. The presence of Lobarion lichens represents a significant conservation value of the forest ecosystems and a valuable addition to the biodiversity of the Nature Park Papuk.
