This close coexistence between the fungal and algal partners is known as symbiosis. Yet it is thanks to another remarkable trait that lichens are able to endure life in deserts and on the rocks of the highest Alpine peaks: they can <strong>survive extreme drought, heat and cold<\/strong> in an apparently dormant\u2014or anabiotic\u2014state, only to awaken and return to active life when the climatic conditions become favourable.
