Summary
[edit]DescriptionHeather and Reindeer Moss - geograph.org.uk - 581141.jpg |
English: Heather and Reindeer Moss. Reindeer lichen (Cladonia rangiferina, also known as reindeer moss or caribou moss) is a member of the familiy Cladoniaceae. It grows in both hot and cold climates, where it is found primarily in well-drained, open environments of alpine tundra. The lichen is an important food source for reindeer and it can be used in the making of aquavit (a Scandinavian alcoholic drink). In certain parts of its range, for instance in Cornwall, it is a threatened species and protected under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
