Ditrichum gracile was recorded in the locality Samarske stijene Velika Kapela Mt for first time Croatia. occured within forests of common spruce belonging to community Hyperico grisebachii - Piceetum on forest floor, forming distinct patches several square decimetres. The plants were typical appearance, medium robust, reddish green purplish black, rarely patches.

Knowledge of bryophyte diversity can be an important tool for identifying overall biodiversity hotspots. The distribution red-listed species is essential data conservation actions, and the assessment species' response to climate change scenarios also a key in future strategies. In this study, we examine four phytogeographic assemblages all Portuguese bryophytes whose distributions are well documented Portugal. were selected based on their vulnerability as listed new Atlas Red Data book...
The Peneda-Gerês National Park (PNPG) in North-western Portugal has been the subject of many bryological studies although there remain unstudied areas. We here present a summary current knowledge using data from recent fieldwork and past which comprises ca. 11000 records. Using this twelve Important Plant Areas (IPAs) were selected. PNPG is an area exceptionally rich bryophytes as shown species richness distribution maps. There significant increase level bryophyte since 1980. From fieldwork,...
Campylopus introflexus, listed as one of the 100 worst alien taxa in Europe, is an example a recent introduction this region. It became invasive species Portugal only twenty years ago, but now known from more than 200 localities, where it occupies extensive areas and numerous microhabitats.Several studies have highlighted methodological deficiencies for understanding expansion some already explored reproductive strategies, hybridization processes abiotic factors (geological climatic...
Previous molecular studies have done much to shed some light on the taxonomy and phytogeographic position of Homalothecium sericeum H. meridionale present study clarifies distribution two species across Iberia. By conducting a revision specimens available in Spanish Portuguese herbaria, we concluded that sporophytic differences are most appropriate characters for delimitation each species. Scanning electron microscope examination peristomes taxa helped distinguish between them.We also noted...
Abstract Bryum minii Podp. ex Machado-Guim. was first described from Portugal in the nineteenth century and only recorded Spain 2010. It is found on acidic rocks, such as granite, near watercourses its glossy appearance makes it relatively easy to identify field although grows small patches. New chorological data are provided for Portugal, well species photographs an updated distribution map which show that no longer a rare can therefore not be considered threatened. likely more records of...
During the study of a small bryophyte collection from recent field exploration undertaken on island Santiago (Cape Verde), we observed that some samples Gymnostomiella M.Fleisch. were n...

A bryofloristic study was carried out in and around the Parque Natural do Tejo Internacional (PNTI), located centre-east of Portugal near border with Spain. list 130 taxa (98 mosses, 28 liverworts 4 hornworts) is reported. We remark presence Bryum minii, Entosthodon mouretii, Ephemerum minutissimum, E. serratum, Riccia perennis, R. subbifurca, Triquetrella arapilensis Zygodon catarinoi. Se ha estudiado la brioflora del situado en el centro-este de cerca frontera con España, incluyendo...
Portugal, as part of the Iberian Peninsula, is one floristically richest areas European Continent, largely due to heterogeneity environmental conditions. The north and north-western this area belongs Eurosiberian region, remaining included in Mediterranean region. In 1992, Economic Community presented directive 92/43/EEC ‘Habitats Directive’ on conservation natural habitats their fauna flora which represents cornerstone Europe’s nature (http://ec.europa.eu/environment/...
A detailed distribution and habitats of the mosses Claopodium whippleanum, Schizymenium pontevedrense Triquetrella arapilensis in Portugal is presented, together with corresponding maps. Se detalla la distribución y hábitats en de los musgos arapilensis, se acompañan mapas correspondientes.
