Abstract

The article presents the results of lichenological research conducted in 2015-2016 in the area of four forest islands located south of Wieruszów. The aim of the study was to prepare the most detailed list of lichens in the selected forest areas and to investigate the relationship whether and to what extent the size of the forest island and the way of its use affect the diversity of lichens occurring there. A total of 102 lichen species were found in the study area. The number of species and the diversity of lichens were shown to be directly proportional to the area of the forest island, and it was also found that more favorable conditions for lichens existed in state forests than in private forests.
