Abstract
This paper presents the results of the study of lichens in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and its surroundings. To assess the epiphytic cover the method of occurrence measuring on the tree trunks with the help of a frame 10×40 cm (400 cm2) was used at 15 locations within the study region. Zones and exposure gradient were defined through clustering and ordination method. 47 species of epiphytic lichens and their distribution characteristics in various areas of human impact were identified. Populus maximowiczii had been selected as a phorophyte as it prevails in urban vegetation and naturally grows in the flood plains where control plots were set up.
