Belziger Str. 37, D-10823 Berlin, Germany During fieldwork carried out in July 2003 in the Golija-Studenica Biosphere Reserve and its surroundings (SW Serbia, Serbia-Montenegro) 277 bryophyte taxa (59 liverworts and 218 mosses) were collected. Among them, 26 taxa are reported for the first time in Serbia-Montenegro, and further 10 species are new records for Serbia. Six species are red-listed in Europe; one of them, Buxbaumia viridis, is vulnerable (V); four species are in the rare (R) category: Brachythecium geheebii, Grimmia caespiticia, Lophozia ascendens, Rhynchostegium rotundifolium; and one, Pseudoleskea saviana, is a regionally threatened species (RT). Key words: bryophyte flora, Golija-Studenica Biosphere Reserve, red-listed species, Serbia INTRODUCTION This paper is the fourth in a series to communicate the results of investigations on the bryophyte flora of various protected areas of Serbia-Montenegro, organised by the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Our earlier publications focused on the bryophytes of Petnica region (PAPP and SABOVLJEVIC 2001), Tara National Park (PAPP and SABOVLJEVIC 2002) and Kopaonik Mts (PAPP et al. 2004). In these papers several species new to Serbia and Serbia-Montenegro and numerous new regional records were reported. A number of new localities of rare bryophytes in Europe - included in the EU Habitat Directives and the Red Data Book of European Bryophytes (ECCB 1995) - were discovered. Being a relatively neglected area of bryological investigation it is hoped that these publications will contribute important data for the knowledge of the flora and vegetation of Serbia-Montenegro, help nature conservation efforts at both national and international level, and encourage further research.
