Abstract	The d$^{15}$N values of stable nitrogen isotopes were determined in samples of organic matter (OM) of thalli of vagrant lichen Xanthoparmelia camtschadalis collected across 13 altitudinal levels within the range of 1550–3250 m above sea level of both steppes and highland meadows of the Khangai Plateau of Mongolia. No correlation between the d$^{15}$N values of lichen OM and the altitude range was detected at the regional scale. However, at a local scale including vegetation type, botanical-geographical area of Khangai, and mountain slope, the amount of the $^{15}$N heavy isotope in lichen OM was found to be decreased with an altitude increase.
