Lichens are called indicator species because they are highly sensitive to environmental changes, particularly air quality and pollution levels. Their presence, absence, or health can reflect the overall condition of an ecosystem, especially regarding atmospheric pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

This sensitivity allows scientists to use lichens to monitor environmental changes and assess the impact of human activities on ecosystems.
