Contribution to the moss flora of eastern Black Sea region (Artvin) in Turkey and new record to the Southwest Asia

Abstract

The moss specimens were collected from various localities in Eastern Black Sea region in Turkey (Artvin province; Hopa and Arhavi Districts), which is located in caucasian part of Turkey. A total of 146 moss taxa (belonging to 73 genera and 33 families) were recorded within the study area. Among of these, Trematodon longicollis Michaux was determined as new to Turkey. Also, this is the first record of the genus, as well as the family Bruchiaceae from the Southwest Asia.

The epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of Kamilet Valley (Artvin, Turkey)

“…The Kamilet Valley and its surroundings (Arhavi, Artvin) are located within the borders of the Eastern Black Sea Mountains and constitute one of the 122 important plant areas in Turkey (Özhatay et al, 2003). Although a few bryofloristic studies have been conducted in Artvin (Batan and Özdemir, 2008(Batan and Özdemir, , 2013a(Batan and Özdemir, , 2013b, no detailed study on the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the study area has yet been carried out.…”
