Contribution to the moss flora of mires in the Bieszczady Zachodnie (Polish Eastern Carpathians)

Journal Title: Roczniki Bieszczadzkie - Year 2012, Vol 20, Issue 1

Abstract

The moss flora of the Bieszczady Zachodnie Range is unevenly known. Most information origins from the mires located in the Bieszczadzki National Park. This paper presents new distribution data for 52 moss species collected on 28 mires of the Bieszczady Zachodnie Range during the years 2009–2011. Each mire is shortly described and the following information is given: ATMOS grid square, GPS coordinates and altitude. A list of species is arranged in an alphabetical order. The most interesting are 2 species new to the Bieszczady Zachodnie, namely Plagiomnium ellipticum and Sphagnum fimbriatum. Noteworthy are 33 ‘key species’ including 2 mosses threatened in Europe (Amblystegium radicale and Hamatocaulis vernicosus), 7 threatened in Poland (e.g. Philonotis tomentella and Sphagnum papillosum), 5 in the Polish part of the Carpathians (e.g. Dicranum undulatum and Hypnum pratense), 21 strictly (i.e. Sphagnum fuscum and Tomentypnum nitens) and 12 partly protected (i.e. Limprichtia cossonii and Sphagnum fallax). Information about these species is given in the Table 1.
