Species richness in Arctic sectors: Beringia 157, Canada 89, North Atlantic 256, European Russia 90 & western and eastern Siberia 176 (see Fig. 10.1 for delimitation). Continental species richness: North America 80, Greenland 231, Europe 111 and Asia 243.

Figure 10.3. The commonness of lichen species in the Arctic in four categories: very rare, rare, scattered and common. The sizes of the pie charts correspond to the species number. The estimated global occurrences of these species within each category are shown within each pie chart (based on data including categorization from Kristinsson et al. 2010; n = 1,691, insufficient data for 59 of the 1,750 known species in the Arctic)..

Table 10.5. Numbers of potentially endemic lichens in the Arctic together with lichen species that are rare outside the Arctic, distributed by low and high Arctic, province or sector and their life form. Only species with known distribution are included (n = 358; endemic: 143, rare: 215). For explanation of province and sector, see Fig. 10.1.

Data on diversity of lichens and lichenicolous fungi in the Arctic and separately for the sectors of the Arctic (Beringia, Canada, North Atlantic, European Russia, W and E Siberia) and the single floristic provinces: numbers of species, numbers of species in the low and high Arctic, percentage of species with respective growth form (crustose, squamulose, foliose, fruticose), the estimated number of missing crustose lichen species (explanations below), percentage of species on the respective substrate on which the lichen species grow, and rarity of species within and outside the Arctic.
