It is seen that the first studies on the lichen biota of our country were studies conducted by foreign scientists.
We are so lucky that one of them is the study of “Burgas Island Lichens” by Hungarian botanist and lichenologist Ödön Szatala (1889–1958) in 1927. It includes 41 taxa belonging to 15 genera found in Burgaz Island.

forms of organisms. Re-development of lichens in an area indicates that air pollution has decreased.**
