GYPSUM LICHENS: a global data set of lichen species from gypsum ecosystems

The GYPWORLD project aims at an integrated global study of the ecology and evolution of plant and lichen life on gypsum, including eight gypsum-rich regions from four continents that differ in geological origin, climate, and flora.

Gypsum ecosystems are mainly located in arid and semi-arid lands around the World: Australia, Eastern and Southwest Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, some territories of South America, USA, and Mexico, and Western and Central Asia
