Abstract
The paper presents the ecological indicator values for 360 lichen species noted in Poland. For the given species estimated were the climatic indicators (light, temperature, moisture) and the edaphic ones (trophicity, habitat acidity). The estimate is based mainly on field studies and Polish lichenological literature. Presented are also the dynamics tendencies, i.e expansion or dieback of the analyzed species. According to papers by Polish authors, concerning various groups of plants, used were five degrees' scales of the analysed indices.

Summary
From the beginning of scientific botanical studies it is generally known, that plants point at the habitat conditions in which they grow. Astonishing is that before over half a century, under the influence of papers of the German geobotanicist H Ellenberg and his disciples started were experiments of quantitative plant calibration on impact of various habitat factors. More recent observations and critical remarks concerning the use of ecological values for lichens are included, among others, in papers by Nimis et al. As opposed to plants the ecological lists of lichens are rarely published (both in local, as well as in country’s scale). These lists allow better to understand the functioning of concentrating lichen ecosystems, as well as the scale of changes in the species composition of regional floras
