      abstract     = {In tropical lowland forests, corticolous crustose green
                      algal lichens are abundant and highly diverse. This may be
                      related to adaptation to prevailing microenvironmental
                      conditions including, for example, high precipitation and
                      low light intensities. In the understory of a tropical
                      lowland rain forest in French Guiana, we studied the
                      morphology of crustose green algal lichens and measured gas
                      exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence. We found that (i)
                      periods of thallus suprasaturation with water were reduced
                      by the presence of water-repelling surface structures of
                      mycobiont hyphae at the thallus surface and the medulla;
                      (ii) photosynthesis was adapted to the low light intensities
                      present in the understory; and (iii) photosynthesis was
                      rapidly activated in fluctuating light. The combination of
                      these three mechanisms enables corticolous lichens to
                      implement specific morphological and physiological
                      strategies, which may favour growth in the limiting
                      understory habitat of tropical lowland rain forests.},
