Abstract: 7 figures. 1 table. [Survey of mangroves along nearly 4000 km coastline of eastern Australia, ranging from tropical areas to warm temperate, revealed that temperature, mean number of annual raindays, seepage of water from the land surface, and exposure all influence the occurrence of macrolichens. "The distribution of 105 macrolichens ... indicated that a replacement of species takes place (to a greater or lesser extent within different genera) with change in laitude. This results in a fairly constant number of species at any one point in the tropical and temperate latitudes; a marked increase in species numbers in the subtropics (23-30 deg. S)."]
