Abstract

Abstract. Field studies have been carried out to determine the bryoflora of the Kaçkar Mts in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. Nearly 1500 bryophyte specimens were collected from diverse localities in this mountain range. After identification of these specimens, 255 taxa (203 mosses and 52 liverworts) with specific and subspecific rank, belonging to 125 genera and 58 families, are presented here. Among them, eight mosses were new records for A4 grid square, which was adopted by Henderson. Furthermore, the list of taxa was compared with the Red Data Lists of European Bryophytes. Apparently, three taxa – Jubula hutchinsiae subsp. javanica, Scapania verrucosa and Schistidium trichodon – are threatened in Europe.
