Western Pomerania covers an area of ca. 50.000 skm. The lichen flora of this region is rich and comprises 526 species. Distribution maps have been drawn for all taxa. A histogram has also been drawn for each species to illustrate its frequency on different kinds of substratum.The investigated lichen flora comprises many species important from the historical and phytogeographical point of view, mainly atlantic, montane and xerocontinental.

In this work the author has put forward suggestions regarding the history of the region's lichen flora in connection withthe postglacial changes in the vegetation and climate, as well as with human activities. This work summarizes the negative effects of human pressures on the lichen flora of Western Pomerania and takes up the question of hemerophily in lichens.
