Photosynthetic pigment content of epiphytic lichen species (Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl., Parmelia sulcata Taylor and Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf) was measured in three-months periods, and one-year pigment exchange rates and seasonal exposure to pollutants were statistically evaluated. Chlorophyll degradation increased in winter months and decreased in summer months for H. physodes samples compared to control. It decreased in winter and increased in summer for P. furfuracea specimens. In P. sulcata, no significant difference was found between the values measured in the control and transplanted samples. Chlorophyll degradation is significantly increased for P. furfuracea compared to control specimens with prolonged transplantation time and decreased for P. sulcata. The amount of chlorophyll a decreased significantly for H. physodes and P. sulcata compared to the control samples due to the prolongation of the transplantation period, while the change in P. furfuracea was not significant. Chlorophyll b and carotenoid content were significantly decreased in all three lichen species compared to the control samples due to the prolongation of the transplantation period.}, number={3}, publisher={Ersin YÜCEL}
