Summary/Abstract: Тhe structural organisation of lichens at a consortium organisation level of the ecosystems is considered. The analysis of species composition and regularities of lichens distribution in Ulmus laevis and Populus nigra consortia in territory of mining and smelting complex of Kryvyi Rih Basin is carried out. It is established that taxonomical structure of lichens consists of 8 lichen species of 6 genera and 5 families. It is ascertained that species composition and regularities of lichens distribution in consortia is determined by the type of industrial load. Predominance of the crustose lichens in the determinants’ consortia, insignificant part of the foliose lichens and total lack of fruticose forms is possible consequence of industrial influence.
