Abstract:

To investigate the characteristics of the bryophyte community and flora and provide a basis for the protection and management of the forest in Mount Jigong National Nature Reserve in Henan Province,a survey was carried out from 2019 to 2022,and the characteristics of the bryophyte community and flora were analyzed.To further understand the characteristics of the bryophyte flora in Mount Jigong National Nature Reserve,a comparative study was conducted with 15 other research sites in China.The results showed that:1)A total of 254 species(including 240 species and 14 varieties)belonging to 108 genera and 51 families of bryophytes were found in Mount Jigong National Nature Reserve,and the mosses were the dominant species(210 species).There were 193 newly recorded species of bryophytes.2)The 254 species of bryophytes could be divided into 4 communities,including the hydrophytia community(22 species),petrophytia community(176 species),geophytia community(133 species),and epixylophytia community(130 species).The number of species did not vary greatly at different altitudes but varied greatly in different forest types.The overall species diversity was higher in the core proteced zone than in the general control zone.3)There were 10 types of bryophyte flora in Mount Jigong National Nature Reserve,predominantly belonging to the North Temperate element(38.01%),East Asia element(28.96%),and Temperate Asia element(13.57%),with other elements accounting for a relatively low proportion.4)Comparing with the 15 research sites,the results showed that the bryophyte flora of Mount Jigong National Nature Reserve was the most similar to that of the northern study areas and was different from that of the southern study areas.Therefore,the bryophytes in Mount Jigong National Nature Reserve are characterized by extremely rich species and obvious temperate characteristics in the flora.
