Measurement report: The ice-nucleating activity of lichen sampled in a northern European boreal forest by U. Proske, U. Proske, U. Proske, M. P. Adams, G. C. E. Porter, M. A. Holden, M. A. Holden, J. Bäck, B. J. Murray

“…This novel finding may be especially important in this snow-covered habitat where few, if any, other biological INP sources are available. The great terrestrial abundance of lichens in Hyytiälä, and around the world, calls for further research to combine their ice-nucleating ability with dispersal studies to evaluate the flux of lichenous INPs into the atmosphere, as well as to what extent these particles reach heights and locations where they might influence cloud properties.…”
