Name: Arctoparmelia centrifuga - Rhizocarpon geographicum Nonvascular Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These fell-fields are blocky boulderfields on ridges and flats above treeline in the Northern Appalachians. Vascular vegetation is very sparse, confined to pockets among the rocks. Nonvascular species dominate, with a prominent cover of crustose lichens. Dominant lichens include <i>Rhizocarpon geographicum, Arctoparmelia centrifuga</i>, and <i>Umbilicaria hyperborea</i>.
