| Description | Bryophyte flora of rock habitats and talus slopes was studied in south-western Moravia (Czech Republic). The total number of species was 140 (23 liverworts and 117 mosses) for cliffs and 93 (20 liverworts, 73 mosses) for talus slopes (26 study sites). The most frequent species on both habitats were Dicranum scoparium, Hedwigia ciliata, Hypnum cupressiforme, and Pohlia nutans, on cliffs also Cephaloziella divaricata, Ceratodon purpureus, and on talus slopes also Barbilophozia barbata, Grimmia ovalis, Pleurozium schreberi, and Polytrichum formosum. Ten threatened bryophytes were recorded for cliffs and four for talus slopes. Temperate and subboreal chorological types were the most frequent for cliffs and temperate, boreal, and subboreal on talus slopes. Among the growth-forms, rough mat and short turf types were the most often both on cliffs and talus slopes. The most frequent life strategies were perennials and colonists both on cliffs and talus slopes. |
