Abstract
Highlights: [•] We assessed functional structure of lichen communities along forest succession. [•] Lichen functional diversity changes according to the forest stage of succession. [•] Lichen functional traits can be used as indicators of forest successional stages. [•] Traits lirella, fruticose and foliose were more related to early successional stages. [•] Traits perithecia and crustose were closely related to older stages of succession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
