Abstract: Epiphytic lichen communities on a population of Tsuga caroliniana on Bluff Mountain were surveyed and compared to the lichen communities surveyed on a population of T. canadensis in Appalachian State University’s environmental studies area. A total of 12 species of corticolous lichens were found at Bluff Mountain and 14 species at the ASU environmental studies area. Only 3 lichens were found at both sites, and an analysis of similarities test (ANOSIM) confirms that these are distinct lichen communities.
