Lichens and their photosynthetic pigments are commonly used as bioindicators of atmospheric pollutants. This study compared lichen community structure and chlorophyll levels between two sites in the Monteverde region, Costa Rica, to determine the effect of local pollution. The first site, Santa Elena, is rapidly becoming more populated as a result of an increase in ecotourism, leading to heavy vehicle traffic. The other site, Bajo del Tigre, is secondary forest surrounded by a sparsely populated area far removed from automobile exhaust. Lichen samples were collected from each site. Chlorophyll was extracted with 90 percent acetone and degradation was measured as a ratio of absorbance between 435 and 415 nm, in which a lower ratio implied ...
