For a comprehensive assessment of the habitats of rare and vulnerable lichen species, 4 key sites in theEltsovsky, Togulsky and Zarinsky districts of the Altai territory were studied. Plant communities – spruce forests, forests with spruce and cedar pine, as well as fir and aspen forests were described. Seven species of lichens listed in the Reddata book of the Altai territory (2016) were found in the studied forests: Graphis scripta, Lobaria pulmonaria, Nephromabellum, Ramalina roesleri, R. sinensis, R. vogulica, and Usnea longissima. Ecological preferences are indicated for eachspecies, and the population density is calculated.
