... e color of the gemmae produced in the leaf axils has already been discussed in the paper by Vanderpoorten and Zartman (2002), where the authors pointed to color differences in material from different countries -from orange to reddish from Great Britain, greenish from Belgium, and yellow, green, rarely brownish from America. On the material from Hungary, van Zanten (1999) wrote about green or light brown propagules, which was not referred to by Erzberger and Schröder (2013 (Soldán & Kučera, 2004;Ursavaş & Işin, 2018). Also, the size of the gemmae is a diagnostic feature that distinguishes B. gemmiferum from other Bryum species that produce them in the leaf axils. ...
This paper presents the information on the distribution of the moss Bryum gemmiferum R. Wilczek & Demaret in Poland. The first species site from southern Poland was published, but further research and revision of the herbarium materials provided information about its occurrence in different parts of the country. Currently, this species is known in 20 locations. A brief discussion about its ecology, taxonomy, and geographical distribution is given.
... Since the 1980s, this process has been continuing with the participation of local bryologists. According to the last updated bryophyte lists (Erdağ and Kürschner 2017;Kürschner and Frey 2020) and recent studies on bryophytes Batan et al. 2019;Ellis et al. 2019Ellis et al. , 2020Ursavaş and Işin 2019;Ursavaş and Keçeli 2019;Erata and Batan 2020;Unan et al. 2020;Erata et al. 2021;Unan and Ören 2021;Ursavaş et al. 2021) including the studies conducted in the period from 1829 until the end of 2020, existing flora has reached ±1047 taxa (±844 mosses, ±199 liverworts and ±4 hornworts). ...

molle are reported as new to Turkey and southwestern Asia. Short descriptions, illustrations, new
localities, ecological data and comparisons with morphologically similar species are provided for
each of the reported species.
... Karayosunlarının Dünya genelinde yaklaşık 12.700 türü ülkemizde ise 7 türü endemik olmak üzere toplam 835 türü bulunmaktadır [6,7]. Ekosistemin önemli parçalarından biri olan karayosunları, genellikle ekonomik değeri fazla olmayan ve büyük bir kısmının ayırt edilebilmesi zor olan küçük tohumsuz bitkilerdir [8]. ...
Karayosunlarının hastalıklara karşı etkisi olduğu çok uzun yıllardan beri bilinmektedir ve yaraların tedavi edilmesi ve enfeksiyonlar ile mücadele gibi alanlarda etkin olarak kullanılmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada Plagiomnium elatum, Rhynchostegium megapolitanum, Tortella fasciculata ve Tortella tortuosa karayosunu örneklerinin etil alkol ekstraktları disk difüzyon yöntemi kullanılarak, 8 gram pozitif, 9 gram negatif bakteri ve 1 maya olmak üzere, toplam 18 mikroorganizma üzerinde test edilerek antimikrobiyal aktiviteleri belirlenmiştir. Disk difüzyon testi sonucunda tüm karayosunu örneklerinin birkaç mikroorganizmaya karşı antimikrobiyal aktiviteye sahip olduğu ve özellikle gram pozitif olan Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 ve gram negatif olan Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 üzerinde belirgin bir antimikrobiyal aktivitesinin olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
... In the bryodiversity aspect, Turkey is also particularly in terms of bryodiversity. Almost 1030 bryophyte species in total (approximately 835 species of mosses, 191 species of liverworts and four species of hornworts) are recorded from the country (Ursavaş and Işın 2019), and these numbers are constantly increasing with new studies. ...
Two rare Scapania species, S. calcicola and S. glaucocephala, are recorded for the first time for Turkey during bryofloristic studies in the Black Sea region, north of Turkey. The record of S. glaucocephala is new to Southwest Asia and to the Mediterranean bryoflora and located at the southern limit of its range. Morphological descriptions and microphotographs of Turkish specimens, data on their distinctive features, ecology and distributions are provided.
This study focused on the bryophyte flora of Maltepe University Central Campus, with samples collected between March 2023 and March 2024. Approximately 150 moss samples were collected from the study area, and through taxonomic identification, a total of 42 moss taxa belonging to 10 families and 26 genera were identified. Among these taxa, 19 represent new records for the province of Istanbul.
The aim of this study was to investigate the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity of methanol extracts of Sphagnum dividinium and S. gingensohnii. The phytochemical active substance groups in the methanol extracts of two different Sphagnum species, whose antioxidant content has been little studied, were determined using screening methods, and their antioxidant properties were determined using in vitro DPPH assay, CUPRAC assay and phosphomolybdate assay. According to the results obtained from the experiments, it was determined that the methanol extract of S. divinium contained only phenols and tannins, while the methanol extract of S. gingensohini contained phenols, tannins and saponins, but both bryophytes did not contain alkaloids and flavonoids. The experimental results show that the methanol extracts of S. divinium and S. gingensohnii have DPPH scavenging activity higher than 50% at all concentrations tested. An increase in DPPH scavenging ability was observed with the increase in extract concentration. The DPPH scavenging ability of S. divinium methanol extract was higher than that of S. gingensohnii methanol extract at all concentrations tested. The results of the study show that S. divinium and S. gingensohnii may be potential sources of antioxidant compounds.
In this study, a current list of syntaxa belonging to the bryophyte vegetation of Turkey is presented. The current checklist of the syntaxonomic units of bryophyte vegetation the newly described and reported for Turkey was obtained as a result of compiling the data in the national and local literature. To date, 55 associations and 29 sub-associations belonging to 20 alliances, 13 orders and 8 classes have been reported in Turkey, bryosociologically. In addition, 23 phytosociological units were determined as unknown status. In the present study, syntaxonomical units were grouped according to aquatic, terrestrial or epiphytic habitats and were given with together their localities and synonyms.
Eflani district of the Karabük province selected as the study area is located Western Black Sea Region. Three field excursions have been made in different seasons between October 2017 to April 2019 in the study area. Bryophyte specimens were collected from 30 different habitats and ecosystems such as steppes, forests, riparian, farmlands, wetlands etc. vegetation. Approximately 500 specimens have been collected, examined under stereo and light microscopes, and identified using related literature. 156 specific and infraspecific bryophyte taxa (15 liverworts and 141 mosses) were found in the visited localities. Among them, 21 taxa were reported from Karabük province for the first time and Lewinskya acuminata (H.Philib.) F.Lara, Garilleti & Goffinet was new for A2 grid square. These taxa were listed according to taxonomic hierarchy with locality, habitat, and substrate information.
The epiphytic bryophyte communities of the Altindere Valley (Maçka, Trabzon, Turkey) were studied. A total of 59 relevés, taken from living tree trunks in different vegetation periods of 2018 and 2020, were analysed according to the Braun-Blanquet methodology, and the relevés were also ordinated and classified using the Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and the Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). As a result of the analyses, Alleniella besseri-Leucodontetum immersi as. nov., Plagiomnio undulati-Raduletum lindbergianae typicum and P.-R. leucodontetosum sciuroidis subas. nov. (Neckerion complanatae) were described and characterised as a new epiphytic. Mnietum cuspidati, Homalothecio sericei-Neckeretum besseri and Brachythecietum populei-isothecietosum alopecuroidis were also described as new to Turkey, whereas Brachythecietum populei typicum was recorded for the second time in Turkey.
Based on extensive bryophyte surveys across the different parts of the Anzer valley in Rize province from northeastern Turkey, a liverwort Jungermannia eucordifolia and a moss species Platyhypnum molle are reported as new to Turkey and southwestern Asia. Short descriptions, illustrations, new localities, ecological data, and comparisons with morphologically similar species are provided for each of the reported species.
