BLIHR Guidelines

The BLIHR (British Lichenological International Harmonization Registry) Guidelines provide a standardized framework for studying and recording lichens, which are symbiotic organisms made up of fungi and algae. These guidelines ensure that researchers around the world use consistent methods for identifying, describing, and documenting lichens. This helps in accurately monitoring their diversity, distribution, and health over time. By following BLIHR guidelines, scientists can compare data reliably, support conservation efforts, and better understand lichens' ecological roles and responses to environmental changes.
