In this study, the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of Fagus orientalis forests in Hıdırnebi Plateau (Trabzon, Turkey) was investigated. A total of 34 relevés taken from living tree trunks in the different vegetation periods of 2020 were analysed according to the Braun-Blanquet methodology. As a result of the analyses, the Leskeello nervosae–Pterigyn...

The Fırtına Valley forests are of the 100 forests in the world whose conservation is a priority due to the
natural old forests they have. In this study, the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the Buxus sempervirens
L. forests located in the Fırtına Valley (Rize, Northern Turkey), which is one of the nine hotspots in
Turkey and Turkey’s only boxwood forest, was investigated. The relevés taken from living tree trunks
in 2020 were analyzed according to the Braun-Blanquet methodology, and ordinated and classified
using the Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and the Two-Way Indicator Species
Analysis (TWINSPAN). As a result of the analyses, Exsertotheco crispae-Allenielletum besseri ass. nov.
subass. typicum and leucodontetosum sciuroidis subass. nov., and Alleniello besseri-Palamocladietum
euchloronis ass. nov. were described and characterized. All syntaxa were presented by analyzing them
in terms of their ecological and floristic classifications.
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.
