Abstract
The inventory of the bryophytes collected during the annual excursion of the Working Group for Bryology of the Italian Botanical Society is reported. This excursion was held in 2018 on the northern slope of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines National Park, in the Administrative Region of Emilia-Romagna. The field work led to the finding of 113 taxa (24 liverworts and 89 mosses), including eight new records and seven confirmations for this Region. The occurrence of rare taxa for Italy (Scapania uliginosa, Rhizomnium pseudopunctatum, Racomitrium fasciculare, Scorpidium cossonii, Grimmia lisae, Orthotrichum pulchellum) is highlighted.
Highlights
The Tuscan-Emilian Apennines constitute the central sector of the northern Apennines, a mountain chain that crosses the Italian peninsula along the border between the Administrative Regions of Emilia-Romagna and Toscana.The first knowledge on the bryophyte flora of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines dates back to the end of the 19th century with the floristic contributions of Fiori (1886, 1892a, 1892b), Avetta (1897), Casali (1899a, 1899b), and Provasi (1938), regarding the moss and liverwort flora of the provinces of Modena, Reggio Emilia, and Parma
Knowledge on the bryophyte flora of the northern Apennines is not yet comprehensive; the annual excursion of the Working Group for Bryology of the Italian Botanical Society was organized in July 2018 in the National Park of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, where many different types of mountain habitats with an interesting bryophyte flora were investigated
Aulacomniaceae Aulacomnium palustre (Hedw.) Schwägr. – Site 12: in a peat bog. The result of this survey is a checklist of 113 taxa (24 liverworts and 89 mosses), including eight records that, on the basis of data reported by Fariselli et al (2019), are new for the Emilia-Romagna Region
