Moss flora of the
Belaya River basin, Northern Timan, Arkhangelsk
Region (67° 18'–67° 23’N, 49° 05'–49° 23' E) includes data on 226
species and subspecies of mosses from 101 genera and 35 families with a brief
geo-botanic description. We found bryophyte species new for the tundra areas of
the European North such as Didymodon fallax, Lescuraea secunda, Plagiothecium curvifolium, Pohlia vexans, Tetrodontium
repandum, Tetraplodon pallidus, and Timmia bavarica. The taxonomic structure of mosses is the same
as that for tundra areas of the European North. The most numerous moss families
are the Dicranaceae (22 species), Amblystegiaceae
(18), Sphagnaceae (16), and Mielichhoferiaceae
(16). Boreal (85), arctic-alpine (60), hypo-arctic-mountain (29) and mountain
(29) species are most numerous there.
