Abstract
Succession stages of epixylic lichens in relation to decomposition of fallen deadwood were studied in Eastern Baikal region. It was found that lichens passed through four stages of epixylic succession: from epiphytic and epixylic to the epigeic stage. It was also determined that lichens could inhibit decomposition of the higher layer of deadwood which served as the substrate to them.
