Habitat and Ecology
Lobaria macaronesica is an epiphyte on trees or shrubs of laurisilva forests, e.g., Laurus azorica, Persea indica, Pittosporum coriaceum, Vaccinium cylindricum, Myrica faya, Ilex canariensis and Erica arborea amongst others. In Macaronesia, it seems to be almost confined to the subtropical montane cloud forests at 300–1500 m (Cornejo & Scheidegger, 2010)
