Colonization and deterioration processes in Roman mortars by cyanobacteria, algae and lichens

Colonization and deterioration processes in Roman mortars by cyanobacteria, algae and lichens

The mortars covering some walls of the Roman city of Baelo Claudia (Cadiz, Spain) support an abundant colonization of cyanobacteria, algae and lichens. The distribution of these organisms is closely related to microclimatic parameters. Furthermore, the development, specific composition and biomass of algal cryptoendolithic communities are related to the wall orientation. The effect of these communities on mortar deterioration is discussed.
