The paper considers the results
of the research
the bryoflora of the State
Memorial and Natural Preserve “Museum-estate of Leo Tolstoy Yasnaya
Polyana”. The list includes 126 species of mosses
(124 species and 2 varieties), among them 9 hepatics, 16 species Spahgnum and 102 of Bryidae.
Information on the locations, presence of spophytes,
occurrence in the communities and substrates is given. Among
the cultural landscapes, the highest diversity (40 species) and some
rare and unique species were detected in
spruce plantings. Natural landscapes (old-growth deciduous forests and karst
swamp) are characterised by good condition and high
representativeness of bryoflora: ca. 80 species were found
in linden-oak forests and ca.
50 speices grow in the sphagnum
bogs. Thirteeen species included in the Red
Data Book of the region
were found within the study
area. High scientific value and conservation value of the
museum-reserve is confirmed by the bryological data.
