"Though slow, the process is steady, and fireblackened areas or bare rocks slowly but inevitably take on a sightly and protective cover of green. "Lichens are biological curiosities, because they are not one but two plants--two unrelated forms of plant life that have entered into a partnership to form a characteristic vegetative structure that can endure conditions which either, alone, could not survive. "One of the partners is an alga, a very simple kind" of microscopic plant that can make its own food, and the other is a fungus, something like a mushroom, which is dependent on the alga for food, but which assists in forming a firm protective shell about tha delicate algal bodies." lElm Trees • American elm trees are valued at more than $750,000,000, according to forestry experts.
