In this study, the bryophyte flora of Melendiz Mountain (Niğde Province) was investigated. In total, 99 taxa were found in this area. Of these, 4 taxa were liverworts and 95 taxa were mosses. According to Henderson’s grid-square system, 39 moss taxa for the B8 square and 12 moss taxa for the C13 square are new records. | Turkish Journal of Botany http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/botany/ Research Article Turk J Bot (2013) 37: 575-588 © TÜBİTAK doi:10.3906/bot-1110-19 Bryophyte flora of Melendiz Mountain in Turkey Safiye Merve CAN*, Recep KARA, Tülay EZER Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Arts, Niğde University, Niğde, Turkey Received: 19.10.2011 Accepted: 23.12.2012 Published Online: 15.05.2013 Printed: 30.05.2013 Abstract: In this study, the bryophyte flora of Melendiz Mountain (Niğde Province) was investigated. In total, 99 taxa were found in this area. Of these, 4 taxa were liverworts and 95 taxa were mosses. According to Henderson’s grid-square system, 39 moss taxa for the B8 square and 12 moss taxa for the C13 square are new records. Among them, Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. var. abranchesii (Luisier) R.H.Zander was recorded for the first time, and Cinclidotus pachylomoides Bizot and Orthotrichum sprucei Mont. were recorded for the second time in Turkey. In addition, the life forms and life strategies of the bryophytes in the area were determined. The turf life form and colonist life strategy for bryophytes of Melendiz Mountain were dominant. Key words: Bryophyte, flora, Melendiz Mountain, Turkey, new national record 1. Introduction We investigated bryophyte flora growing in volcanic substrates and the effect of this substrate on bryophyte diversity. Volcanoes possess unique attributes in addition to the general features commonly found in all varieties of mountains (Gerrard, 1990; Kruckeberg, 2004). The shape, isolated position, and recurrent volcanic activity put volcanoes into a special class of mountains. The volcanic landscape is also quite distinct from other mountainous regions because of the way it is formed and the effect that the instability of the environment has on the colonisation, evolution, and persistence of the biota. The shape, size, and elevation of volcanoes significantly affect plant life. Volcanic substrates can provide unique environments .
