 Abstract. A study was conducted using the sample area method to examine the epiphytic lichen cover in the immediate vicinity of a mining plant. The findings revealed that under the pollution conditions, 25% of the known total species diversity of pine epiphytes for southern Karelia were present. It was observed that the general characteristics of the lichen cover remained unchanged regardless of tree parameters and community condition. However, the cover of the scaly lichen Hypocenomyce scalaris was significantly higher on the southern exposure facing the plant. Additionally, among the dominant species in the epiphytic cover there were identified such species as Parmeliopsis ambigua and Micarea melaena, which displayed resistance to pollution.
Keywords: epiphytic lichen cover, mining industry, Hypocenomyce scalaris, Parmeliopsis ambigua, Micarea melaena
