Abstract

Successional stages of epixylic lichens in conjunction with fallen deadwood decomposition were studied in the eastern Baikal region. It was found that lichens passed through four stages of epixylic succession: from the epiphytic and epixylic stages to the epigeic stage. It was also determined that lichens could inhibit the decomposition of the higher layer of fallen deadwood, which served as a substrate to them.
