CHECK-LIST OF RECORDED MOSSES

STUDY AREA

The Bihor Mountains (Apuseni Mountains) lie

in Carpathians in the western part of Romania.

Altitudes range between 600 and 1800 m.

Most of visited localities lie in the Padiş area (Cetatea

Rădesei, Cetăţile Ponorului, Gheţarul Focul Viu, La

Grajduri, Poiana Ponor). It is formed of limestone and

it has a typical Karstic relief.

RESULTS

105 moss species were recorded 1 moss species is vulnerable in Europe (ECCB) – Buxbaumia viridis 3 mosses are very rare, 8 species are rare and 18 taxa are sporadic species in Romania
