Abstract
Adaptive strategies of sporophytes of epilithic ferns are identified on the basis of research studies and literature data. A complex analysis of the photosynthetic apparatus of plants is carried out on different levels of its organization: frond, mesophyll cells, and plastids. The adaptation of sporophytes to the environment is also characterized on different levels of organization. Two morphofunctional (MFTs) and two physiological-functional types (PFTs) of ferns are isolated on the basis of their adaptability to epilithic living. This division reflects the adaptive peculiarities of ferns in certain biomes.
