Based on the published
papers, floristic investigations of bryophytes (liverworts and hornworts) were
carried out for subalpine and alpine localities in the boundary of Rize
province in Turkey. The number of bryophyte taxa in these regions is 140 (119
mosses and 21 liverworts) with the lists cited in this paper. The hepatic list
includes 15 genera and also mosses 55 genera. The largest genera of liverworts
and mosses were found to be Scapania with
four taxa and Sphagnum is with 13. Racomitrium heterostichum, R. macounii, Ditrichum pusillum, and Hymenoloma
crispulum were the most common moss species. Two liverworts, Aneura pinguis and Scapania undulata were noted as the most common. When the
altitudinal data were analyzed, it was seen that 2300 m. is the most survey
area of intensive collecting. Upper limits of the taxa are observed at 3060 and
3065 m. Bryophyte records above 3000 m were not very rich according to the available
information. The study provides an updated and useful catalog of the bryophytes
occurring above forest boundary of Rize.
