Advanced Photogrammetry to Assess Lichen Colonization in the Hyper-Arid Namib Desert
The hyper-arid central region of the Namib Desert is characterized by quartz desert pavement terrain that is devoid of vascular plant covers. In this extreme habitat the only discernible surface covers are epilithic lichens that colonize exposed surfaces of quartz rocks. These lichens are highly sus...
