Numerous additions are
reported for the bryoflora of the Pechora-Ilych Biosphere Reserve (Komi
Republic; Northern Urals). Field work was performed in three geographically
separated areas, situated in different altitudinal belts in the basin of the
Pechora River (61°25'-61°45' N – 56°53'-57°10' E; 62°00-11' N –
58°05-38' E; 62°00-07' N – 59°00-15' E). 81 bryophyte species
and varieties have been found to be new to the Reserve, among them 17 species
new to Komi Republic, 6 species (Lophozia pellucida, Sauteria alpina,
Dicranella humilis, Bryum amblyodon, B. bicolor, Pohlia bulbifera) new to
the Northern Urals, and 2 species (Cirriphyllum tommasinii, Pseudocalliergon
trifarium) and 2 varieties (Lophozia pellucida var. pellucida,
Dicranella schreberiana var. robusta) new to the whole Ural Mts.
Thus, the total number of bryophyte taxa known from the Reserve is 319 species
and 3 varieties of mosses and 91 species and 2 varieties of hepatics. The
following abbreviations are used in the list of species: R – rare (species
known from 1-3 localities within the study area); MC – moderately common (4-8
localities); C – common (9 and more localities); S+ means that sporophytes are
present. Species new to Komi Republic are marked with (*), those new to the
Northern Urals with (+).
