Melanisation in Boreal Lichens Is Accompanied by Variable Changes in Non-Photochemical Quenching

Lichens often grow in microhabitats where they absorb more light than they can use for fixing carbon, and this excess energy can cause the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lichen mycobionts can reduce ROS formation by synthesizing light-screening pigments such as melanins in the u...
