Lichens are very important component of the ecosystem serving as substrate, shelter, food, nutrient cycle, succession etc. Epiphytic lichens are generally considered to be good indicator of environmental quality. Changes in environmental condition may be reflected in changes to composition of lichen vegetation. They occure in all possible environmental habitats of the worlds. Current studies on lichen represents about 3099 species of lichen from the Indian subcontinent out of 20,000 lichen species from the world. Chhattisgarh is home to many rare, endangered and economically important species, including many species of plants, trees and climbers in diverse habitats, including lichens. In Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh, NTPC has natural and artificial plantations representing the tropical dry deciduous forest types of the country. This study focused on lichen communities around the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) power plant in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh. Lichen host species are: Shorea rodusta, Diospyros melanoxylon,Lannea grandis, Madhuca longifolia Mangifera indica, Buchanania lanzan and stone surface. A total of 18 lichen species were identified. The variety of lichens that are not disturbed by humans is currently in the pioneer succession stage. The available enumeration of lichen is of great interest will be helpful in conservation and restoration of lichen and their host species in NTPC Bilaspur.
