Kalasin Province. During the months of June to August. By defining the study area is the fourth area of the road for Kumek - Donchan. The results showed that physical factors studied. Temperature and humidity of the 4 points. No difference. Luminance most point 4, Lichen species observed include the 2 groups . The group is Crustose including Chrysothrix, Graphidaceae, Laurera, Lecanora, Tryperthelium tropicum and Foliose including Dirinaria,. Pyxine cocoes and type of lichen survey can be used as an indicator of air quality. The study found a kind of lichen groups highly durable and sturdy. But not lichen group in good weather.
