The Moss Flora of Korchay State Nature Reserve

Abstract

The article discusses the floristic, ecological and cenotic features and the distribution of mosses in the territory of the Korchai State Nature Reserve. Among the mosses of the reserve, there are also species with a limited range. Those species are typical for silicate rocks and stony rocks. Another characteristic feature of the relief of the reserve is the presence of traces of ancient glaciation. Another characteristic feature of the relief is the absence of watersheds similar to a smoothed plateau. As a result of the research, it was found that the flora of the research area contains elements and relics from the last stages of the ancient Cretaceous period (3rd period). Relict species are pages of geologic history that reveal patterns of flora distribution. Keywords: Bryophyta, species, flora, genus, nature reserves.
