Abstract

The objective of the present work was the evaluation of the bryophyte diversity of the central park of Eger town. Altogether 59 taxa (4 liverworts and 55 mosses) were recorded. Nearly half of the identified species (49%) belong to three families: Orthotrichaceae, Pottiaceae, and Brachytheciaceae. Brachythecium glareosum, Cirriphyllum piliferum, Eucladium verticillatum, Orthotrichum obtusifolium and Orthotrichum pumilum are rated near threatened (NT) according to the Hungarian Red List. Some of the taxa found in Eger were not known from other central east european urban parks (Ctenidium molluscum, Hygroamblystegium tenax, Pohlia melanodon, Cirriphyllum crassinervium, Hypnum cupressiforme var. lacunosum, Orthotrichum stramineum and Orthotrichum striatum). There are remarkable differences between central park of Eger and other Central and Eastern European parks regarding species composition and the percentage of species in each of the life strategy categories.
