Abstract
Lichen growth is reviewed in the context of the anatomy of the growth region, thallus morphology of crustose and foliose lichens, photosynthesis, mathematical models and their application. The Aplin & Hill model is suggested as a basis for more detailed investigation of integrated processes of growth including not only the size increase but also the general structure of the thallus and the processes which limit growth.Keywords
