A lichen community is a group of lichen species that consistently grow together in response to specific environmental conditions. In general ecology, the term refers to any recurring assemblage occupying similar substrates, while in vegetation science (phytosociology), these assemblages are classified into formal, named types called syntaxa, such as associations and alliances.
