The present paper is devoted to species composition, taxonomic status, distribution, and monitoring opportunities of lichens and mosses in the Bozdag mountain range. In general, 29 lichen species belonging to 22 genera, 17 families and 30 moss species belonging to 21 genera, 12 families were detected in Boz- dag. Lecania triseptata, Lecanora gllabrat species of lichens and Leskea polycar- pa, Leucodon immerses species of mosses have been recommended for biomoni- toring.Lichens and mosses of different origins of the Bozdag mountain range entered the study area at different times. It is known that the Poltava-type tropical flora dominated during the Oligocene. This tropical flora had a Poltavian tropical char- acter of the Caucasian flora in the early Neogene. In the early Oligocene and Ne- ogene, Lecidea, Lecanora, Caloplaca were widespread in the Caucasus. Shrubby epiphyte and epigey lichens are tolerant to atmospheric pollutants. Indi- cator species for use in the biomonitoring system have been identified. Lichen species such as Lecania triseptata, Lecanora gllabrat and moss species, such as Leskea polycarpa, Leucodon immerses are recommended for use in biomonitor- ing.
