Abstract :
This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of electromagnetic fields (B=15, 23 mT(AC)), at 50 Hz frequency on Xanthoria parietina and Lepraria lobificans. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, parietin and proline in both species treated with electromagnetic fields 15, 23mT decreased in compare to control. Only chlorophyll a in L. lobificans and xanthophyll in X. parietina in treated with electromagnetic fields 15mT increased in comparison with control. Proline compound in X. parietina increased in treated with electromagnetic fields 23mT in compare to control. The results indicated that different periods of electromagnetic fields causephysiological response in lichens
