Lichens and nitrogen cycling – some lichens (in particular those with cyanobacteria as a photobiont) can fix nitrogen. [26] Lichen biogeography – the study of the current distribution of extant lichens and the reasons for those distributions.

Lichenicolous lichens are relatively common; a study in Italy found that 189 of 3005 lichenised species (about 6%) were lichenicolous. [19] These lichens show distinct biological and ecological characteristics. They are predominantly crustose, mostly have green, non-trentepohlioid algae as photobionts, and primarily reproduce sexually.
The upper surface of the lobes, which generally measure 10–25 mm (0.4–1.0 in) across, have a fuzzy tomentum, especially near the margins. The lichen typically grows on soil, in woodlands, fields, and sandy areas [3] The cyanobiont Nostoc associates with Peltigera canina, and resembles the species N. sphaericum and N. punctiforme. [4]
