Abstract

A description of the lichen communities associated with natural rock outcrops and derelict mine workings in the upland region of Dartmoor, south-west England, is presented. An examination of 34 study sites revealed 270 taxa, of which 28 are reported as new to Devon including several national rarities. Notes on 29 tors have been prepared and reasons for the predominance or decline of particular communities or species are discussed.
