Arable bryophytes from Northeastern Slovenia with new and interesting national records

We investigated the arable bryophyte flora in the Northeastern region of Slovenia. We found three new bryophyte taxa for Slovenia: Bryum violaceum, Dicranella staphylina and Hydrogonium consanguineum var. kurilense. The presence of the regionally extinct Ephemerum cohaerens was confirmed, and several other species from the National Red List of bryophytes were also recorded. A list of 25 bryophyte species growing on the studied arable fields is presented and commented on

Bryophytes of forest and bog habitat types on Pohorje

V okviru magistrske naloge smo popisali mahovno floro izbranih barjanskih in gozdnih habitatnih tipov na Pohorju (Natura 2000). Mahove smo nabirali v naslednjih habitatnih tipih: 7110* Aktivna visoka barja, 7140 Prehodna barja, 91D0* Barjanski gozdovi, 9410 Kisloljubni smrekovi gozdovi od montanskega do alpinskega pasu (Vaccinio-Piceetea), 9110 Bukovi gozdovi Luzulo-Fagetum in 9180* Javorovi gozdovi (Tilio-Acerion) v grapah in na pobočnih gruščih. Prednostni (prioritetni) habitatni tipi so označeni z *. Znotraj habitatnega tipa 9410 smo ločeno vzorčili v treh habitatnih podtipih, ki predstavljajo tri rastlinske združbe: Bazzanio-Piceetum, Rhytidiadelpho lorei-Piceetum in Luzulo sylvaticae-Piceetum. V celotnem raziskovalnem območju na Pohorju smo zabeležili 235 taksonov mahov (74 taksonov jetrenjakov in 161 taksonov listnatih mahov). Najdenih je bilo 40 vrst s pripisanim naravovarstvenim statusom v Sloveniji. Največ jih uspeva na barjih. Vrstno najbogatejša habitatna tipa sta kisloljubni smrekovi gozdovi in bukovi gozdovi. Habitatni tip z najmanjšo raznolikostjo vrst pa so javorovi gozdovi. Habitatne tipe in proučevane rastlinske združbe smo primerjali glede na vrstno sestavo mahov, naravovarstveni pomen, razporeditev florističnih geoelementov in okoljske parametre, ki smo jih dobili z uporabo Ellenbergovih indikatorskih vrednosti.As part of the Master\u27s thesis, we inventoried the moss flora of selected bog and forest habitat types on Pohorje (Natura 2000). Bryophytes were collected in the following habitat types: 7110* Active raised bogs, 7140 Transition mires and quaking bogs, 91D0* Bog woodland, 9410 Acidophilous Picea forests of the montane to alpine levels (Vaccinio-Piceetea), 9110 Luzulo-Fagetum beech forests, and 9180* Tilio-Acerion forests of slopes, screes and ravines. Priority habitat types are indicated by an asterisk (*). Within habitat type 9410, we sampled separately in three habitat subtypes, represented by three plant communities: Bazzanio-Piceetum, Rhytidiadelpho lorei-Piceetum and Luzulo sylvaticae-Piceetum. In the entire study area of Pohorje, 235 moss taxa (74 liverwort taxa and 161 leafy moss taxa) were recorded. Of them, 40 species were found with an assigned Slovenian conservation status, most of them in bogs. The most species-rich habitat types are Acidophilous Picea forests of the montane to alpine levels and Luzulo-Fagetum beech forests. The habitat type with the lowest species diversity are the Tilio-Acerion forests of slopes, screes and ravines. Habitat types and studied plant communities were compared according to moss species composition, nature conservation importance, distribution of floristic geoelements and estimates of environmental parameters derived from Ellenberg indicator values
