Given that cement mortars and concreteare the primary 20th century building materials worldwide, it is important to study lichens growingon this substrate. In a survey of different localities of Buenos Aires Province, 33 species growing onmortars and concrete were collected and identified utilizing morphological and chemical studies.Results showed that Staurothele frustulenta is a new record for Argentina, and Acarospora subcastaneais a new record for Buenos Aires Province.

Some species were previously only known on tree barks, but in this study they wereencountered colonizing cement materials as well. 2006 artículo científico 0011-6793 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=66944108 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=669 Darwiniana application/pdf Instituto de Botánica Darwinion Darwiniana (Argentina) Num.1 Vol.44
