Abstract
We found that within the Ukrainian Carpathians Tomenthypnum nitens is a regionally rare species with a narrow ecological amplitude. The article provides a map of the current distribution of the species within the Ukrainian Carpathians, taking into account new findings. T. nitens was found exclusively on meso- and eutrophic bogs in the communities of three associations of the Scheuchzerio palustris-Caricetea fuscae class: ass. Caricetum davallianae Dutoit 1924, ass. Carici flavae-Eriophoretum latifoliae Soό 1944, which belong to the order Caricetalia davallianae, as well as ass. Caricetum nigrae Braun 1915 of the order Caricetalia nigrae. Its greatest coenotic activity is shown in the ass. Carici flavae-Eriophoretum latifoliae. The detailed characteristics of plant communities with the participation of T. nitens and the idea of its inclusion in the Red List of Transcarpathia in order to preserve the gene pool of relict species of the Carpathians are substantiated. A list of mosses occurring in plant communities together with the Tomenthypnum nitens is given. Among them are Aulacomnium palustre, Helodium blandowii, Calliergonella cuspidata, Campulium stellatum var. protensum, Palustriella commutata, Thuidium delicatulum, Phylonotis fontana, Plagiomnium ellipticum, Climacium dendroides.
