Erata, Hüseyin; Batan, Nevzat; Mamontov, Yuriy S.; Özdemir, Turan
The liverwort taxa Cephaloziella elegans and Mesoptychia gillmanii are reported for the first time from Türkiye and Southwest Asia, based on a bryological field trip to the Karçal Mountains in the Caucasian region (Artvin). Additionally, Lophoziopsis excisa is recorded for the second time in Türkiye, with the newly discovered locality extending the known national distributions of this taxon. Descriptions, illustrations, data on world distribution and ecology, as well as comparisons with morphologically similar species, are provided.

Abstract: In this study, the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the Karçal Mountains (Artvin) in the Caucasus Region was investigated. Relevés collected from living tree trunks during various vegetation periods in 2022 were analyzed using the Braun-Blanquet method and multivariate analysis techniques. As a result, Anomodontetum attenuati-Ulotetosum crispae subass. nov. was described and characterised as a new epiphytic syntaxa. In addition, Orthotrichetum rupestris, Orthotrichetum speciosi, Uloto crispae-Orthotrichetum striati, and Anomodonto viticulosi-Leucodontetum sciuroidis-Anomodontetosum attenuati were determined for the first time in Türkiye. All syntaxa were presented by analyzing them in terms of their ecological and floristical classifications.
