In science we have this thing called a bioindicator. For instance certain plants are only found in ancient woods & are called bioindicator of antiquity.

This is lungwort or lung lichen/Lobaria pulmonaria. Lichen is a symbiotic organism composed of fungi and green algae or cynobacteria. Lichens are essential for keeping our air clean. This particular lichen is a nitrogen fixer, source of food, and a useful bioindicator for the health of an ecosystem.
