Abstract

This study was planned and completed to reveal the bryophyte flora of the Aydın Mountains. A total of 268 bryophytes were identified from the research area, of which 216 taxa belong to Bryophyta, 51 taxa belong to Marchantiophyta and one taxon belongs to Anthocerotophyta. Acaulon mediterraneum Limpr. has been recorded for the second time for Turkish bryophyte flora. Among liverworts, Riccia (17 taxa), and among mosses, Didymodon (13 taxa), Tortula (13 taxa), Grimmia (12 taxa), Syntrichia (12 taxa), Orthotrichum (11 taxa), Ptychostomum (10 taxa), Fissidens (9 taxa) and Lewinskya (7 taxa) were found as the richest genera. In addition, different habitats in Aydın Mountains and bryophytes representing these habitats were determined, as well. The study of a large mountain range which was not known for bryophytes in Western Anatolia has filled a significant gap in this area.

Aydın Dağları karayosunları florası

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Aydın Dağları'nın karayosunları florasını ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla planlanmış ve tamamlanmıştır. Araştırma alanında yapraklı karayosunlarına ait 216, ciğerotlarına ait 51 ve boynuzlu otlara ait 1 takson olmak üzere toplam 268 karayosunu tespit edilmiştir. Acaulon mediterraneum Limpr. Türkiye karayosunları florası için ikinci kez kaydedilmiştir. Ciğerotlarından Riccia (17 takson), karayosunlarından Didymodon (13 takson), Tortula (13 takson), Grimmia (12 takson), Syntrichia (12 takson), Orthotrichum (11 takson), Ptychostomum (10 takson), Fissidens (9 takson) ve Lewinskya (7 takson) en zengin cins olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca Aydın Dağları'ndaki farklı habitatlar ve bu habitatları temsil eden karayosunları da belirlenmiştir. Batı Anadolu'da karayosunları açısından bilinmeyen geniş bir dağ silsilesinin incelenmesi bu alanda büyük bir boşluğu doldurmuştur.
