Abstract

In this study, the bryophytes of Golludag Volcano were investigated. As a result of identification of the bryophyte specimens collected from several habitats, a total 103 taxa (100 mosses, three liverworts) were determined, belonging to 20 families and 43 genera. Nine of them are new records for B8 grid-square. The two largest families in the study area are Pottiaceae (27 taxa) and Grimmiaceae (18 taxa). The widespread genera are Grimmia (12 taxa) and Syntrichia (nine taxa). Tortula subulata and Syntrichia ruralis are the most common species in the study area.
