Description
The Carpathian Mountains are the center of lichen species diversity in Poland. They are a refuge for many rare species not only on a national scale but also within their entire ranges. The database contains a taxonomically and nomenclatural revised list of lichens and associated fungi reported from the Polish Carpathians up to 2003. The taxonomic concept is based on monographic studies, and the nomenclature of taxa generally follows Index Fungorum (2020) and MycoBank databases (2020). The distribution data for each species was also verified. For each species, the distribution at the level of macro- and mesoregions is given according to the physical-geographical regionalization of the Carpathians (Kondracki 1989). Next to each species within a region, there are references to source materials. These are bibliographic citations or acronyms of herbaria (KRAM, KRA, MIN, UGDA, OPUN) where unpublished herbarium specimens are available. The initial source material was a checklist by Bielczyk (2003). Critical analysis of this study made it possible to indicate species that should be excluded from the list of lichens of the Polish Carpathians or some regions, due to their misidentification or nomenclatural changes. It should be noted that since 2003 the list of Carpathian lichens has grown significantly (cf. Bielczyk et al. 2020).
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 9,037 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
The dataset resulted from the digitization project IMBIO, supported by the Operational Programme Digital Poland in 2020-2023. The IMBIO project is the most extensive Polish enterprise of natural data digitization, with respect to its range, complexity and volume of the processed content. There is 18 participant institutions with the University of Warsaw as a leader. The project delivered 9.5 million of occurrence records, c.a. 2 million of which are based on specimens deposited in collections, and the remaining data derived from other types of scientific sources: card files, legacy materials and bibliography, publicly unavailable older databases. Integration of these resources has made them accessible and searchable. The access platform is the new version of the Biodiversity Map portal (BioMap, https://portal.biomap.pl), while externally the resources are published via the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
