Szurdoki, Erzsébet, Tóth, Zoltán; Pelles, Gábor: The Sphagnum populations of the Zemplén Mts, NE Hungary

Several peatmoss species appeared around the springs of Tegda Valley near Füzér (see 8 on Fig. 1 and Table 2; Füzér 12J forest stand). The peatmosses grow in a disturbed, secondary, wet and open birch stand, mainly around springs and brooks. The patches were observed in an area of about 100 nf. Beside the most fre­quent S. fimbriatum, small patches of S. squarrosum and S. fallax occur in this place. The other bryophytes of this habitat are Calypogeia muellerana, Chilos­cyphus pallescens, Amblystegium riparium, Brachythecium rivulare, B. rutabu­lum, Colliergonella cuspidata, C. lindbergii, Hylocomium splendens, Mnium hor­num, Philonotis caespitosa, Plagiomnium elatum, P. ellipticum, P. medium, Plagio­thecium laetum, Polytrichum formosum, Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus. The following occurrence (see 9 on Fig. 1 and Table 2) is situated south of the hunting lodge of Dorgó, near the springs of Suta stream (Háromhuta 2F forest stand, at the mark numbered 44). S. fimbriatum is the most frequent peatmoss there, and small amounts of S. fallax, S. magellanicum and S. squarrosum are pres­ent also. The Sphagnum species form a mixed carpet and the total area of the patches is estimated at 10-20 m 2 , while there are also some small patches of 5. fimbriatum. There is a Sphagnum occurrence at the upper part of Köves stream (see 10 on Fig. 1 and Table 2), in the spruce stands of "Kis-Bohó-rét" (Regéc 61B forest stand). The small (0.25-0.5 nf) patches grow around a small depression with per­manent standing water. Three S. fimbriatum patches were observed and a mixed one, composed of S. fimbriatum, S. obtusum and S, riparium.. The latter (S. riparium) is a new record for the present territory of Hungary. The last occurrences can be found in the meadow called Tó-oldal, at the foot of Nagy-Bekecs Hill (see 11 on Fig. 1 and Table 2). One part of the wet meadow consists of a tail-sedge community, in the other part Calamagrostis canescens stand grows, and there is a hornbeam-oak stand around the meadow. The peatmoss carpet is situated under the Calamagrostis and spreads into the edge of the forest stand but cannot be found under the sedges. There are numerous large patches of S. fallax and smaller ones of S. subsecundum and S. palustre in the 50 nf sized place. Unusually loose patches of Sphagnum under the Calamagrostis look viable. Sphagnum occurrences on moist roadside embankments and in temporarily wet places with occasional runoff These Sphagnum occurrences are usually found on acidic soils. These patches consist of peatmoss species different from those in forest occurrences (see below). On these places grow for example S, palustre, S. girgensohnii, S. obtusum and S. compactum. Habitats, very similar to these, have been reported earlier in the
