Abstract

In this study, the bryophyte flora of a collapse doline located in the steppe of Central Anatolia has been investigated. As a result of the identification of 365 bryophyte specimens collected from various habitats of doline, a total of 72 taxa (71mosses and 1 liverwort) belonging to 9 families and 24 genera are determined. Among them Didymodon icmadophilus is new for C13 grid-square. The most species-rich families in the study area are Pottiaceae (31 taxa), Bryaceae (13 taxa) and Grimmiaceae (11 taxa) respectively. While the widespread genera are Syntrichia (9 taxa), Didymodon (9 taxa), Ptychostomum (9 taxa) and Grimmia (6 taxa). Syntrichia ruralis, Weissia condensa, Didymodon vinealis and Orthotrichum cupulatum are the most common species in the study area.

Niğde’deki Bir Çöküntü Dolininin Briyofit Florası (Türkiye)

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Orta Anadolu bozkırında yer alan bir çöküntü dolininin briyofit florası araştırılmıştır. Dolinin çeşitli habitatlarından toplanan 365 briyofit örneğinin teşhis çalışmaları sonucunda, 9 familya ve 24 cinse ait toplam 72 takson (71 karayosunu, 1 ciğerotu) tespit edilmiştir. Bunlar arasından Didymodon icmadophilus C13 karesi için yenidir. Çalışma alanında tür bakımından en zengin familyalar sırasıyla Pottiaceae (31 takson), Bryaceae (13 takson) ve Grimmiaceae (11 takson)’dir. Yaygın cinsler Syntrichia (9 takson), Didymodon (9 takson), Ptychostomum (9 takson) ve Grimmia (6 takson) iken, Syntrichia ruralis, Weissia condensa, Didymodon vinealis ve Orthotrichum cupulatum çalışma alanında en yaygın türlerdir.
