Description
Summary:Jack Laundon (Natural History Museum, d. 2016) tackled some challenging lichen groups that received less attention from other taxonomists, most notably sterile crusts. Mason Hale’s (Smithsonian Institution, d. 1990) books The Biology of Lichens (first published 1967) and How to Know the Lichens (1969) were the principal texts on lichens for a period of time when detailed literature on the subject in English was thin on the ground. After moving to Canada in c. 1970 Ken worked almost exclusively on lichen eco-physiology, especially in the Canadian far north, and he wrote Physiological Ecology of Lichens (1985).
