Papp, Beáta; Sabovljevic, Marko: The Bryophyte flora of Tara National Park (W Serbia, Yugoslavia)

Neckera spp., Plagiomnium spp., Pseudoleskeella spp., Taxiphyllum wissgrillii, Tortella densa, T. tortuosa, Trichostomum spp. can be mentioned. Along the forest roads Dicranella spp. and Pohlia melanodon are characteristic on wet mud. On the forest floor several acidophilous species appear, like Dicranum scoparium, Polytrichum spp., Pogonatum aloides, Racomitrium canescens. Decaying wood provides very important habitats for bryophytes. Among liverworts living on this substrate Blepharostoma trichophyllum, Calypogeia spp., Chiloscyphus profiindus, Jungermannia leiantha, Lepidozia reptans, Lophozia ascendens, Nowellia curvifolia, Ptilidiumpulcherrimum, Riccardia latifrons, R. palmata may be mentioned; most of them are rare species. Some mosses are also characteristic on decaying wood, such as Buxbaumia viridis, Eurhynchium angustirete, Herzogiella seligeri, Plagiothecium denticulatum, Sanionia uncinata, Tetraphis pellucida. There are only a few meadows, fens in Tara National Park, but the bryophyte vegetation of these sites is very valuable. Seven Sphagna and several other wetland species were found including Chiloscyphus polyanthus, Pellia epiphylla, Riccardia multifida, Calliergon cordifolium, Calliergonella cuspidata, Climacium dendroides, Fissidens adianthoides, Rhizomnium punctatum. Along streams and near springs Brachythecium rivulare, Bryum pallens, B. pseudotriquetrum, Cratoneuron filicinum, Conocephalum conicum, Eucladium verticillatum, Hygrohypnum luridum, Palustriella commutata, Rhynchostegium riparioides, Thamnobryum alopecurum are frequent. On the exposed rocks numerous Bryum species (B. argenteum, B. bicolor, B. capillare, B. elegáns, B. ruderale), Didymodon fallax, D. rigidulus, Orthotrichum anomalum, Tortella tortuosa, Tortula muralis and several Weissia species (W. brachycarpa, W. condensa, W. controversa) occur. Nature conservation value of the bryoflora Six species are included in the Red Data Book of European Bryophytes (ECCB 1995). Among them, four species are in the rare (R) category: Anomodon rostratus, Dicranella humilis, Lophozia ascendens, Weissia rostellata and two are vulnerable (V), these are Buxbaumia viridis and Orthotrichum philibertii. Anomodon rostratus lives on shaded limestone rock crevices. It was first reported from Serbia by the authors from Petnica region (PAPP and SABOVLJEVIC 2001). The locality in the Tara Mts is the second record of the species. As the distribution of the species is sub-Mediterranean-montane, we expect to find several new localities of the species in Serbia in the future. Buxbaumia viridis and Lophozia ascendens occur on large, well-decayed wood in constantly humid forests. These species are indicators of old-growth forests with rotting woods of different decay-
