This dataset provides distribution data of Lichens in Switzerland of the National Data and Information Centre, called Swiss Lichens. SwissLichens is a partner of InfoSpecies, the network of Swiss data and information centers for fauna, flora and fungi. One of its main objectives is to document the spatial and temporal distribution of species in Switzerland. The SwissLichens database currently contains more than 120'000 georeferenced Lichen observations, distributed throughout Switzerland. The oldest observations date back to 1790. A large portion of the records date from the last two decades of the last century to the present day. The database is continuously updated with new findings. The data have been validated and originate from national inventories, from research projects, from floristic observations by volunteers as well as from private and public herbaria and from literature.Taxonomic Coverages
