The Moss Flora of İğneada Floodplain Forests National Park (Demirköy, Kırklareli) Turkey

In this study, the moss flora of İğneada Floodplain Forest National Park (Kırklareli-Demirköy) in Turkey were investigated between the years 2015-2016. As a result of examination of six hundred thirty moss samples, which collected from İğneada Floodplain Forest National Park, were examined 24 families, 55 genera, 102 taxa species or subspecies. In terms of taxa number, the richest six families are; Pottiaceae (20), Brachytheciaceae (14), Polytrichaceae (9), Orthotrichaceae (8), Hypnaceae (6), Bryaceae (6). Atrichum crispum (James) Sull., and Bryum gemmiferum (R. Wilczek & Demaret.) (in press), marked with a black diamond (♦) sign are new records for the Turkish bryophyte flora. According to Henderson (1961) grid square system, 17 moss taxa marked with an asterisk (*) sing are new records for A1 square. While acrocarpous taxa (70) represent 68 % of the whole flora, the ratio of pleurocarpous ones (32) is 32 %

List of Bryophytes of Çankırı Province

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the current status of the bryophyte flora of the province by examining the bryofloristic studies performed within the boundaries of Çankırı province. Accordingly, based on the field studies and literature data 286 bryophyte taxa belonging to 120 genera and 54 families were listed. Of them; 37 taxa belonging to 19 families and 22 genera belong to Marchantiophyta division, 249 taxa belonging to 35 families and 98 genera belong to Bryophyta division. Two of the taxa listed, the liverwort Barbilophozia lycopodioides (Wallr.) Loeske and the moss Pterygoneurum crossidioides W. Frey, Herrnst. & Kürschner from the first records in Turkey are within the Çankırı province borders

The bryophyte flora of Palu (Elazığ /Turkey) district

In this study which was made to determine the bryophyte flora of Palu district in Elazig province, with the identification of bryophytes samples collected in different vegetation periods of 2018, 48 taxa (1 liverwort, 47 mosses) belonging to 9 families and 23 genera were determined. From these taxa, seven taxa are new records for Elazığ province, according to the grid-square system of Henderson four taxa are new records for B9 grid square. With the presence of Pellia endiviifolia in the area, the liverwort record in Elazığ province has increased to 2. Life forms, ecological and floristic features belong to taxa have been submitted in the study

Mosses Identified on Deadwoods in the Research and Application Forest of the Çankırı Karatekin University, Faculty of Forestry

It is a certain fact for the forest ecosystem that the death of a tree gives way to other lives. Survival of many insects, birds, fungi, lichens, Liverworts and Mosses within life circle depend partly or mainly on those dead trees. That is why dead trees are also named as ‘Biotope Tree’, ‘a living space with high biological diversity’ or ‘a hotspot’; the center for biological diversity in forest. Research area has been assigned as ‘Research Forest’ to Çankırı Faculty of Forestry of Ankara University by the decision of Council of Ministers. However, research studies that have been carried out so far in the area are insufficient. It is aimed to get more information from the area by this study and similar ones. In this study, mosses have been listed with pictures identified on dead woods and logs in the area. Forest field survey was done so as to identify the bryophytes on dead logs and woods at the Research and Application Forest of Çankırı Faculty of Forestry within 2015-2016. As a result of identification studies of 80 mosses samples taken from the area 25 taxons have been confirmed among 15 genus and 10 families

Contributions to the Liverwort and Hornwort (Marchantiophyta and Anthocerotophyta) Flora of Kocaçay Delta (Karacabey-Bursa) Floodplain Forest

In this study, the liverwort and hornwort diversity of Kocaçay Delta Floodplain Forest that is one of important floodplain forests and wetlands of Turkey was investigated. 75 liverwort specimens were collected in the fieldwork that carried out during different vegetation periods. Totally, 16 taxa belonging to 13 families and 14 genera were determined

Cinclidotus asumaniae Ursavas & Cetin (Bryopsida, Pottiaceae), sp nov., a new species to the hygrophytic moss flora of Southern Turkey

Cinclidotus asumaniae is described and illustrated as a new species from Kizildag National Park (Isparta province) in Turkey. The species can be easily distinguished from all other European, Mediterranean and Southwest Asian Cinclidotus species by its unique combination of the well developed short and strongly branched plants, long lanceolate leaves, bi- to tristratose leaf lamina, strongly developed costa at the leaf base, and smooth to slightly papillose and fragile peristome teeth. The specimens were collected in Pinargozu Cave, growing on rocks exposed or submerged

Végétation de bryophytes épiphytes des forêts de <i>Buxus sempervirens</i> L. dans la vallée de Fırtına (Rize, Turquie)

Les forêts de la vallée de Fırtına font partie des 100 forêts du monde dont la conservation est prioritaire en raison des vieilles forêts naturelles qu’elles abritent. Dans cette étude, la végétation des bryophytes épiphytes des forêts de Buxus sempervirens L. situées dans la vallée de Fırtına (Rize, nord de la Turquie), qui est l’un des neuf hotspots de Turquie et la seule forêt de buis de Turquie, a été étudiée. Les relevés effectués sur des troncs d’arbres vivants en 2020 ont été analysés selon la méthodologie Braun-Blanquet, puis ordonnés et classés à l’aide de l’analyse des correspondances en tendance (DECORANA) et de l’analyse des espèces indicatrices à deux voies (TWINSPAN). Les analyses ont permis de décrire et de caractériser Exsertotheco crispae-Allenielletum besseri ass. nov. subass. typicum et leucodontetosum sciuroidis subass. nov., et Alleniello besseri-Palamocladietum euchloronis ass. nov. Tous les syntaxons ont été présentés en les analysant du point de vue de leur classification écologique et floristique.The Fırtına Valley forests are of the 100 forests in the world whose conservation is a priority due to the natural old forests they have. In this study, the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the Buxus sempervirens L. forests located in the Fırtına Valley (Rize, Northern Turkey), which is one of the nine hotspots in Turkey and Turkey’s only boxwood forest, was investigated. The relevés taken from living tree trunks in 2020 were analyzed according to the Braun-Blanquet methodology, and ordinated and classified using the Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and the Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). As a result of the analyses, Exsertotheco crispae-Allenielletum besseri ass. nov. subass. typicum and leucodontetosum sciuroidis subass. nov., and Alleniello besseri-Palamocladietum euchloronis ass. nov. were described and characterized. All syntaxa were presented by analyzing them in terms of their ecological and floristic classifications.</p

The Moss Flora of Çankırı Alpsarı pond (Çankırı, Turkey) was studied. It was found that 332 moss specimen occurred in 73 taxa belonging to 31 genera and 15 families. In The richest 5 families by taxa number were Pottiaceae (26), Brachytheciaceae (10), Grimmiaceae (7), Orthotrichaceae (6), Bryaceae (5) respectively. The richest species by taxa number were; Tortula (8), Orthotrichum (7), Syntrichia (7), Grimmia (6), and Bryum (5). While acrocarpous taxa (54) represented 75% of the whole flora, the ratio of pleurocarpous (18) was 25%. Funaria hygrometrica (Hedw.), Grimmia alpestris (F.Weber & D.Mohr) Schleich., Bryum pallens (Sw. ex anon.) were identified first time from Çankırı province; Ceratodon conicus (Hampe) Lindb., Weissia longifolia (Mitt.), Bryum intermedium (Brid.) Blandow, Grimmia crinita Brid, and Tomentypnum nitens (Hedw.) Loeske. were identified first time from A2 grid square; and Pterygoneurum subsessile (Brid.) Jur. record was given for the second time in Turkey. In addition, P. crossidioides (W. Frey, Herrnstr. & Is Kurschner) was reported for the first time in Turkey. The species which is rarely distributed in arid regions has been reported worldwide in Israel and Hungar
