BRYOFLORISTICAL DATA FROM AUSTRIAN PART OF SOPRON HILLS (ÖDENBURGER-GEBIRGE, E-AUSTRIA)

Abstract

The Austrian part of Sopron Hills was a neglected area from the point of view of bryophyte floristics. In the investigated area 141 bryophytes were found, out of these 21 liverworts and 120 mosses. There were nine species new to Burgenland: Jungermannia gracillima, Pellia neesiana, Campylopus pyriformis, Leucobryum juniperoideum, Orthotrichum lyellii, Pohlia elongata, Pohlia prolifera, Pseudephemerum nitidum, Trichodon cylindricus. Some species were detected from the territory which are otherwise rare in Austria, such as: Fossombronia wondraczekii, Riccardia palmata, Brachythecium mildeanum, Didymodon cordatus, Didymodon vinealis, Fissidens adianthoides, Microbryum davallianum, Plagiomnium elatum, Pleuridium acuminatum, Pleuridium subulatum, Pottia intermedia, Pseudephemerum nitidum. 13 species are listed as threatened in the Red Data List of bryophytes in Lower Austria, and so do 11 species in the overall Austrian Red Data list of bryophytes. No species of the Annex II of the FFH-directive were found.
