Бріофлора Кримського природного заповідника

Abstract

In the Crimean peninsula there are six nature reserves, of which the Crimea nature reserve did not have a complete list of bryophytes. Bryological investigations were carried there by A.A. Sapehin, A.J. Roshal, D.K. Zerov, V.M. Melnychuk and others. According to their data it was known about 130 species in the reserve. L.Ya. Partyka investigated bryophytes of the Crimea nature reserve in 1963, 1964, and 1984 years. She visited the Nikita yaila, the Ulu-Uzen’ river with Golovkinski waterfall, the Roman-Kosh, Chorna and Chatyr-Dag mountains, the Beshuis’ki mines area. V.M. Virchenko has checked the Roshal moss collection from the reserve that keeped in the bryological herbarium of the Institute of Botany, NASU. In general on the territory of the Crimea nature reserve there are 189 species, of which 26 species of liverworts and 163 ones of mosses. The families of Brachytheciaceae, Orthotrichaceae, Amblystegiaceae have the relative richness of taxa that occur in forest and humid habitats. In the reserve the greatest species diversity was established in the belt of beech forest (146 species), after that follow the belt of oak forest (90) and pine forest (81), and the belt of yaila communities (69). One species from the Red Data Book of European Bryophytes (Neckera pennata Hedw.), four species from the Red Data Book of Ukraine (Cololejeunea rossettiana (C.Massal.) Schiffn., Fissidens rivularis (Spruce) Schimp., Neckera menziesii Drumm., Palamocladium euchloron (Mull.Hal.) Wijk et Margad.), as well as a number of regional rare bryophytes occur in that protected area. On the whole, the Crimea nature reserve plays the important role in protection of Crimean bryophytes because about 56% species diversity of that peninsula occur in its territory.
