  • Orange crustose lichen grows on the volcanic rock near Lake Mývatn in northern Iceland. Lichens are a symbiosis of a fungus and a green alga and/or cyanobacterium; and crustose is the most common type of lichen in Iceland; accounting for about 400 of the 700 identified species. Crustose are very slow growing; typically growing 1 millimeter or less per year.

  • Special properties in the bark of a Giant Sequoia tree (Sequoiadendron giganteum), center, protect the tree from damage that affects other trees. Chemical tannins in the bark and wood resist disease, rot, insects, and other causes of decay. Its thick, fibrous bark also provides insulation against fire. A tree that isn't similarly protected (left) is covered with moss. The Giant Sequoia's unique properties can help it live 3,000 years or more.
