Rinodina disjuncta
Local name: trønderringlav
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Trønderringlav faces severe threats from air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and sulfur compounds that alter the chemical composition of its bark substrates. Urban development and forest management practices that favor younger tree stands reduce the availability of suitable old-growth habitats with the specific bark chemistry this lichen requires. Climate change may be shifting the optimal conditions for this species northward, potentially fragmenting its already limited range in central Norway.
Habitat
This lichen species grows exclusively on the bark of old deciduous trees, particularly in mature forest stands with specific microclimate conditions. It requires trees with alkaline bark chemistry and is typically found in undisturbed woodland areas of central Norway.
