The bryophyte flora of the western part of the Küre Mountains (Bartın, Kastamonu), Turkey

Abstract

This study presents the bryophyte flora of the western part of the Kure Mountains, situated in A2 square in the grid system adopted by Henderson, and entirely within the Euro-Siberian phytogeographic region. A total of 1545 bryophyte specimens were collected from the research area in 2008 and 2009. According to the results of this study, 272 taxa belonging to 146 genera and 60 families were recorded. Of these, 2 taxa are hornworts, 53 taxa are liverworts, and 217 taxa are mosses. Among them, 38 taxa are new records for A2 and 4 taxa [Leiocolea badensis (Gottsche) Jorg., Cephaloziella rubella (Ness) Warnst., Diphyscium foliosum (Hedw.) D.Mohr, and Brachythecium tommasinii (Sendtn. ex Boulay) Ignatov & Huttunen] are recorded for the second time in Turkey. In addition, Seligeria trifaria (Brid.) Lindb. and Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans (Brid.) Z.Iwats are new records for the moss flora of Turkey. At the same time, Pseudotaxiphyllum Z.Iwats. is a new genus record for Turkey.

Introduction
Turkey contains a great variety of natural habitats,
ranging from Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black Sea
beaches to towering coastal and interior mountains,
from deeply incised valleys to expansive steppes, and
from fertile alluvial plains to arid, rocky hill slopes.
Di erent community types and habitat mosaics
occur, containing a rich mixture of plant and animal
species, many of which are endemic (Kaya & Raynal,
2001). For the present study, the western part of
the Küre Mountains in Turkey’s western Black Sea
region, a place of impressive beauty and magni cent
wildlife, was selected as the research area (Figure 1).
 e study area is of particular importance because
of the age and size of the forests, biodiversity, and
variety of its endemic wildlife, and for this reason the
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has listed the
area as 1 of 100 forest ‘Hot Spots’ in Europe (1 of 9
hot spots in Turkey) deserving priority conservation.
A erwards, in 2000, 37,000 ha of this area were
declared as the Küre Mountains National Park.
Moreover, the western part of the Küre Mountains,
which is 1 of Turkey’s 350 Key Biodiversity Areas
(KBAs) and covering 521,368 ha, is located in Bartın-
Kastamonu provinces in the western Black Sea
region (Eken et al., 2006). High rainfall in the area

is one reason for the lush vegetation of this forested
park, whose spectacular beauty is partly a result of
the karst limestone structure, which has created
countless caves, deep gorges, and waterfalls.  e
inaccessibility of much of this mountain range, with
its karstic structure, great forests, and deep valleys,
is one of the main reasons for the preservation of
its wildlife. However, it is impossible to carry out
protection and accomplish a special environmental
protection plan in a scienti c manner without having
full knowledge about the  ora and fauna of such a
valuable area. According to the literature, although
notable bryo oristic studies have been conducted
in the western Black Sea region close to the research
area and a new moss record for the bryophyte  ora
of Turkey in Küre National Park has been given, no
detailed study on the bryophyte  ora including all
western parts of the Küre Mountains has yet been
performed (Çetin & Yurdakulol, 1985, 1986, 1988;
Özalp, 1995; Keçeli & Çetin, 2000; Uyar & Çetin,
2001; Çetin et al., 2002; Abay & Çetin, 2003; Uyar,
2003; Keçeli & Çetin, 2006; Uyar and Çetin, 2006;
Uyar et al., 2007; Cangül & Ezer, 2010; Ören et al.,
2010).  erefore, our main purpose in this study was
to obtain information on the bryophyte  ora of the
western part of the Küre Mountains, which includes
the Küre Mountains National Park and its bu er
zone. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the
exploration of the bryophyte  ora of Turkey and be
useful for future studies.
Materials and methods
 is region is situated in the A2 square according
to the grid system of Turkey adopted by Henderson
(1961) (Figure 2).
In the study area, geological formations consist
of the Çakraz formation of Paleozoic age, the Inaltı

formation of upper Cretaceous age, Tertiary rocks,
and Quaternary alluvia that formed in the bases of
valleys (Kırmızıtaş, 2010). Common soil types in
this region are brown forest soils and grey-brown
podzolic soils (General Directorate of Rural Services,
1989, 1993).  e region has the characteristic of an
oceanic climate predominantly in the northern and
western parts of the area, as well as Mediterranean
climate types in the central and southern parts of the
area (Akman, 1999). Hence, deciduous, evergreen,
and coniferous are main forest vegetation formations
in the western part of the Küre Mountains. Dominant
deciduous species consist of Fagus orientalis Lipsky,
Carpinus betulus L., Castanea sativa Miller, Ostrya
carpinifolia Scop., Sorbus aucuparia L., Coryllus
avellana L., Quercus petraea (Mattuschka) Liebl., Q.
robur L., Tilia argentea Desf., Populus tremula L.,
Cornus mas L., C. sanguinea L., Alnus glutinosa L.,
Acer campestre L., Ulmus glabra Hudson, Platanus
orientalis L., Crataegus monogyna Jacg., and C.
microphylla C.Koch. Common evergreen species
are represented by Rhododendron ponticum L.,
Laurocerasus o cinalis Roemer, Buxus sempervirens
L., Arbutus andrachne L., and Laurus nobilis L.
 e coniferous forests are dominated by Abies
nordmanniana (Stev.) Spach, Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold
subsp.nigra Pinus sylvestris L., and Taxus baccata L.
(Atalay, 1994; Akman, 1995; Ketenoğlu & Güney,
1997).
Collections were made between April 2008 and
October 2009 from 132 localities in di erent habitat
types. In the  oristic list for each taxon, the numbers
of the sites where they here found are given according
to the Table, followed by the description of the habitat
occupied in the study area. All collected specimens
are kept in the special collection of UYAR at Biology
Department, Faculty of Sciences and Letters, Bülent
Ecevit University. Specimens were identi ed by using
relevant literature (Lewinsky, 1993; Zander, 1993;

 e bryophyte  ora of the western part of the Küre Mountains (Bartın, Kastamonu), Turkey
544
 e  oristic list is arranged according to the
system proposed by Go net and Shaw (2009). In
addition, the new records for A2 grid-square and
Turkey were determined by reviewing the related
literature (Uyar & Çetin, 2004; Kürschner & Erdağ,
2005; Özenoğlu Kiremit & Keçeli, 2009; Ursavaş &
Abay, 2009; Cangül & Ezer, 2010).
New records for the A2 grid square are marked
with an asterisk (*), the taxa recorded from Turkey
for the second time with 2 asterisks (**), and new
records for Turkish bryophyte  ora with 3 asterisks
(***). For each taxon, only one collector number was
given to avoid repetition in the  oristic list but the
same plants collected from di erent localities were
indicated (Loc. 1, 2, 3).  e recorded speci c and
subspeci c taxa are listed alphabetically under the
families in the  oristic list.

New national records
Seligeria trifaria - Specimen examined: Turkey, Bartın
province, Arıt District, Örenbaşı hill, (41°44ʹ10ʺN,
32°44ʹ42ʺE) in Abies nordmannia, Fagus orientalis,
Carpinus betulus, Buxus sempervirens, Taxus baccata,
Corylus colurna, and Rhododendron ponticum, mixed
forest, 967 m. a.s.l., 19.04.2008, Ören 196/08.
 e specimens were collected from the entrance of
a small cave on shaded, damp, and vertical limestone
rocks near a forest road, associated with Leiocolea
badensis, Barbula convoluta, and Brachythecium
tommasinii. Green to blackish green plants are o en
so encrusted with algae that they are hard to detect.
 is mountain temperate species grows in shoots 2-4
mm tall and di ers from other species of Seligeria
in having narrow, pointed trifarious leaves that
are less than 1 mm long, appressed, and arranged
in 3 distinct rows. At the same time this species is
similar to Seligeria patula and S. tristichoides with its
trifarious leaves, but it di ers from the others having
larger spore size and smooth subula. Furthermore,
leaves are imbricate, especially in sterile stems,
rapidly narrowed to smooth subula  lled by costa.
Cells are narrowly rectangular in basal part of leaves
but shorter above cells. Upper vegetative leaves with
long stout subula are similar to perichaetial leaves.
Capsules are ovoid, wide-mouthed, when moist setae

are straight and stout, 1.7-2.0 mm long, capsule neck
with imperfect stomata, columella not elongate a er
dehiscence, spores 24-29 m and coarsely papillose
(Figure 3).  is very rare species has been recorded
from S, C, and W Europe, extending north to Germany
and the Caucasus (Smith, 2004). Apparently this new
record  lls its remarkable distributional gap between
Europe and Caucasus.
Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans - Specimen
examined: Turkey, Bartın province, Arıt District,
Kayadibi Kavlak village, Keçikuzu region
(41°38ʹ55ʺN, 32°31ʹ11ʺE) on sandy soil in deciduous
forest; especially dominant with Fagus orientalis and
under the forest cover with Rhododendron ponticum,
650 m. a.s.l., 22.04.2008, Ören 426/08.
 is disjunct circumpolar species forms glossy
green patches.  e plants grow up to 3 cm long.
 e stems are  attened and shoots prostrate, all
pointing in the same direction.  e ovate leaves
are over 1 mm long, mostly gradually tapering to a
 ne point. Leaf margins are denticulate toward the
apex.  e nerve is very short and double, or absent.
Cells are linear almost homogeneous in all leaf parts;
mid-leaf cells are approximately 80-120 m long.
However, alar cells are hardly di erentiated, neither
in ated nor decurrent.  e plant has vegetative
axillary propagules that are easily detached  liform
branchlets in leaf axils. Specimens are sterile (Figure
4).
Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans is similar to most
Plagiothecium species with complanate leaves,
whereas it di ers by its leaf base that is not decurrent
down stem and its vegetative propagules from all
Plagiothecium species. Moreover, Taxiphyllum
wissgrillii could be confused with Pseudotaxiphyllum
elegans. However, Taxiphyllum wissgrillii di ers in
the less tapering leaves, more glossy shoots, not
having axillary propagules, and its calcareous habitat
(Atherton et al., 2010).
Until now, this plant was known only from Europe
and the Caucasus; this new record in Turkey  lls its
considerable distributional gap (Smith, 2004).

Results and discussion
In this study, 272 speci c and infraspeci c taxa (2
hornworts, 53 liverworts, and 217 mosses) belonging
to 146 genera and 60 families were identi ed from
1545 bryophyte specimens collected in the western
part of the Küre Mountains in 2008 and 2009.
Among them, according to the grid-square system
of Henderson (1961) 1 hornwort, 11 liverwort taxa,
and 26 moss taxa are new records for A2 grid-
square (Uyar & Çetin, 2001, 2006; Uyar, 2003; Uyar
et al., 2007; Ursavaş & Abay, 2009; Cangül & Ezer,
2010). Two new moss taxa (Seligeria trifaria and
Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans) are also reported as new
records for Turkey. Moreover, Pseudotaxiphyllum
is a new genus record for the moss  ora of Turkey.
In addition, there were some interesting taxa
collected from the study area. For example, second
localities of Leiocolea badensis, Cephaloziella rubella,
Diphyscium foliosum, and Brachythecium tommasinii
in Turkey were discovered in this study. Namely,
Leicolia badensis and Cephaloziella rubella have been
recorded from Turkey without details of localities
(Özenoğlu Kiremit & Keçeli, 2009).  e  rst report
of Diphyscium foliosum was given from Trabzon
Province (Handel-Mazzetti, 1909) and Brachythecium
tommasinii for the  rst time was recorded in Karabük
Province from Yenice forests (Özalp, 1995).

 e richness of families in terms of species in the
research area for mosses is as follows: Pottiaceae (39
taxa) and Brachytheciaceae (29 taxa), Mniaceae (16
taxa), Orthotrichaceae (16 taxa), Hypnaceae (11 taxa),
Amblystegiaceae (10 taxa), Grimmiaceae (9 taxa), and
Bryaceae (9 taxa); and for liverworts is Scapaniaceae
(8 taxa), Lophocoleaceae (4 taxa), Metzgeriaceae (3
taxa), Porellaceae (3 taxa), Plagiochilaceae (3 taxa),
Frullaniaceae (3 taxa), and Cephaloziellaceae (3
taxa).  ese predominant 15 families make up 61%
of the total taxa in the study area.  e remaining 45
families constitute 39% of the total taxa.  e most
species-rich genera are as follows: Orthotrichum (12
taxa), Bryum (8 taxa), Brachythecium (7 taxa), To r tula
(7 taxa), Fissidens (6 taxa), Plagiothecium (5 taxa),
Hypnum (5 taxa), Plagiomnium (5 taxa), Mnium (5
taxa), and Didymodon (5 taxa). Other genera are
represented by 4 or fewer taxa in the area.
As a result of our e orts to determine the
ecological habitats of bryophytes, the following
bryophyte species were found to be abundant on
rocks near stream beds: Hygrohypnum luridum,
 amnobryum alopecurum, Cratoneuron  licinum,
and Conocephalum conicum. Moreover, Palustriella
commutata and Plagiomnium undulatum are
widespread on wet soil near stream banks. Fontinalis
antipyretica, Cinclidotus fontinaloides, C. riparius,
C. aquaticus, and Platyhypnidium riparioides are
common on submerged rocks and on the roots of trees
next to rivers. In addition, the predominant epiphytic
bryophytes of the area are Radula complanata,
Frullania dilatata, Metzgeria furcata, Lophocolea
heterophylla, Leucodon sciuroides, Pterigynandrum
 liforme, Neckera complanata, Orthotrichum a ne,
O. lyellii, O. speciosum, and Ulota crispa. At the same
time, while Hypnum cupressiforme, Homalothecium
lutescens, H. sericeum, Anomodon viticulosus,
Ctenidium molluscum, Fissidens dubius, Isothecium
alopecuroides, Plagiochila porelloides, and Neckera
crispa are widespread taxa as saxicolous species,
Pseudoscleropodium purum, Tortula schimperi, T.
subulata, Fissidens taxifolius, Lophocolea bidentata,
Pogonatum aloides, Polytrichastrum formosum,
Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, Calypogeia  ssa, and
Dicranum scoparium are common taxa as terricolous
species. Furthermore, Tortula muralis, Grimmia
pulvinata, Bryum capillare, Orthotrichum anomalum,
Syntrichia ruralis, Bryum argenteum, Syntrichia
ruralis, and Tortella tortuosa can be found on rocks.
Ceratodon purpureus, Bryum caespiticium, Funaria
hygrometrica, Bryum alpinum, Didymodon acutus,
and D. fallax are the most common taxa on soils in
wide open areas.
 e majority of bryophyte species that were found
in this area have been cited for many European
countries. Because of this they were classi ed as Least
Concern (LC) for threat status in Europe; however,
Jubula hutchinsiae subsp. javanica and Buxbaumia
viridis have been classi ed as vulnerable (VU) and
also Tortula brevissima has been classi ed as rare
(R) in Europe by the European Committee for
Conservation of Bryophytes (ECCB, 1995).
If it is necessary to make a comment considering
the status of these taxa in Turkey, among them, J.
hutchinsiae subsp. javanica is not rare in the Black Sea
region in Turkey, because to date it has been recorded
from A2, A3, and A4 grid-squares, which are in this
region (Handel-Mazzetti, 1909; Papp, 2004; Keçeli
& Çetin, 2006; Abay et al., 2009). Moreover, it was
collected from 2 localities in the study area.
In addition, in our opinion T. brevissima is rare
for Turkey also, because, to date, it has been recorded
only from A2 and C11 grid-squares (Kürschner &
Parolly, 1998; Cangül & Ezer, 2010; Kırmacı & Erdağ,
2010). We think B. viridis ought to be classi ed as
vulnerable (VU) for Turkey as in Europe, because it
has been collected from only a few localities in A2
grid-square in Turkey since 1967 (Walther, 1967;
Abay & Çetin, 2003; Uyar et al., 2007).
Consequently, in our opinion, these rare and
vulnerable species must be given priority for
monitoring and managed carefully in an e ort to
promot e genetic conservation as indicated by Işık
(2011).
