Assessment Notes
Justification
Canoparmelia caroliniana is widespread and abundant on multiple continents in temperate and pantropical regions. Its population size is inferred to be stable. Thus it is assessed as Least Concern.
Geographic range
Canoparmelia caroliniana occurs throughout much of South America, Central America, the south-eastern United States, East Africa, the Azores, and the Canary Islands (Hale 1976, Berger and Aptroot 2002, Benatti and Marcelli 2008, Hawksworth
et al. 2008, Flakus
et al. 2012, Michlig 2014, Lendemer and Ruiz 2015, Kirika
et al. 2016).
Population and Trends
Because this species is widespread and abundant, its population size is inferred to be stable.
Population Trend: stable
Habitat and Ecology
Canoparmelia caroliniana is mainly an epiphytic species that occurs in diverse temperature, subtropical, and tropical forest types, and rarely also occurs on rocks.
Threats
There are no significant threats documented for this species.
