We determined temperatures and Lithium 6707 A resonance line equivalent width of a sample of 62 T Tauri stars. Lithium abundances were then estimated by using a grid of curves of growth. The lithium abundance is shown to decrease with the distance of the stars to the nearest dense core of a molecular cloud. This effect is interpreted as being due to the ages of the stars, the youngest ones being closer to still active star formation regions.
