Abstract

Tatyana O. Boiko

The article reveals the issue of distribution of lichens life forms on different substrates, which are present in the Yelanetsko-Ingulskiy region. The largest number of life forms of the lichens is characteristic for granite outcrops, and the lowest – for gneisses. This fact is associated with features of substrate morphostructure and density, microclimatic conditions of different ecotopes in which lichens grow.
