Bryoflóra jelšín stredného Slovenska v širších geografických a cenologických súvislostiach

Species composition and occurrence of bryophytes within alder-dominated forest vegetation in central Slovakia is presented. Although variation of species richness among the sites is considerable, the moss layer plays an important role in the community structure. Altogether 75 bryophytes species (13 liverworts and 62 mosses) were documented on 126 localities with diverse moisture properties during the vegetation periods 2009–2011. The most interesting finding is that of Sphagnum contortum. Special attention was given to discussion of species linkage either on vegetation type or present region. Several of mosses have a significant diagnostic value for the studied both vegetation types and region.
