A combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Friedman test shows that species and substrate preference have high effects on element composition in lichen thalli, whereas locality has no significant effect. The corticolous lichen accumulates the highest level of atmospheric elements (P, S and Zn), while the terricolous lichens have the highest concentration for the crustal metals (Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, Mo, Na, Sc, Sr, Ti and V) and atmospheric metal Cr. As compared with the terricolous lichens, the saxicolous lichens are similar in levels of P, S and Zn, but are less affected by soil contamination. The three saxicolous lichens are roughly similar in concentration for these elements. These results suggest that atmospheric deposition biomonitoring with the aid of lichens should give consideration to the influence of species and substrate preference. Key words: North China, atmospheric deposition, air pollution, biomonitoring. 32242
