TO THE BRYOPHYTE FLORA OF ABIES GRACILIS FIR GROVE (KRONOTSKY RESERVE, KAMCHATKA)
The first list of bryophyte species found in the unique Silver Fir (Abies gracilis) Grove (the Kronotsky State Reserve, Eastern Kamchatka) was compiled on the basis of herbarium collections and formerly published data. As a result, 27 species of bryophytes were revealed. 14 species of mosses and 3 species of liverworts were found in the Grove for the first time. The bryophyte species composition of the silver fir community was analysed and compared to the species composition of Ajan spruce forests and stone birch forests of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
