Epiphytic bryophyte communities of forests dominated by alnus glutinosa (L.) gaertner in altindere valley national park (trabzon, turkey). Cryptogamie, Bryologie, 42(11), 155-167. doi:10.5252/cryptogamie-bryologie2021v42a111290-07961776-0992https://doi.org/10.5252/cryptogamie-bryologie2021v42a11https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12428/4282The epiphytic bryophyte communities of the Altindere Valley (Macka, Trabzon, Turkey) were studied. A total of 59 releves, taken from living tree trunks in different vegetation periods of 2018 and 2020, were analysed according to the Braun-Blanquet methodology, and the releves were also ordinated and classified using the Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and the Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). As a result of the analyses, Alleniella besseri-Leucodontetum immersi as. nov., Plagiomnio undulati-Raduletum lindbergianae typicum and P.-R. leucodontetosum sciuroidis subas. nov. (Neckerion complanatae) were described and characterised as a new epiphytic. Mnietum cuspidati, Homalothecio sericei-Neckeretum besseri and Brachythecietum populei-isothecietosum alopecuroidis were also described as new to Turkey, whereas Brachythecietum populei typicum was recorded for the second time in Turkey.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCommunitiesDECORANAEpiphytic bryophytesPhytosociologyTWINSPANArticle421115516710.5252/cryptogamie-bryologie2021v42a11Q3WOS:0006830553000012-s2.0-85112490078
