Lichen Deterioration

Lichen Deterioration is a bio-deterioration mechanism in which the metabolic activities and physical colonization of lichens on inorganic substrates, particularly stone and building materials, induce chemical and structural degradation through acid secretion, substrate penetration, and moisture retention.
