Description
Summary:The article demonstrates the results of studies epiphytic lichens species composition from the territory of the Khakassky State Nature Reserve, conducted in the alpine cedar taiga at the location of the Ips sexdentatus outbreak. There were two types of sample plots: damaged plots, characterized by shriveled cedars infected by bark beetle and flawless plots containing forest stand of primarily vigorous trees. All sample plots were found to comprise 46 species of lichens belonging to 24 genera and 13 families. It was observed that plots infected by bark beetle were inhabited by lichens with poor vital activities manifested by their damaged thalli. However, there were no evident changes in the epiphytic lichen communities on floristic and coenotic levels.
