This study found a total of 75 bryophyte species, including 60 species of which belong to mosses and 15 species of liverworts. The most species-rich family of bryophytes of the National Park, Sphagnaceae includes 22 species. The sections Cuspidata comprises 8 species and Acutifolia – 8 species. Calliergonaceae (7 species) is the most represented family of the Bryopsida (38 species), and Scapaniaceae (5 species) and Cephaloziaceae (4 species) are the largest taxa of liverworts.
