Abstract

The Nature Reserve of Tre Padule de Suartone (Corse-du-Sud, 2A) has been bryofloristically surveyed at the beginning of May 2017. Relevant data from literature, herbarium specimens and intensive field work allowed 1 Hornwort, 25 Liverworts and 57 Mosses (83 taxons) to be listed. Among most significant findings, Riccia sommieri, Ephemerum crassinervium subsp. rutheanum and Myricoleopsis minutissima are new records for Corsica. Important habitats are the humid maquis, linked to hydrographic network, and remnants of Quercus ilex woodlands. Maquis and woodlands are very restricted spatially and would beneficiate from conservation actions. The significant impact of herbivores on bryophytic assemblages is underlined, most significantly at the margin of temporary ponds.
