The present study was performed on the Samanlı Mountains, which is extending from Sakarya province to Yalova province, in North-West Turkey. During this study, eight field trips were organized to the research area at different seasons between the years 2013 and 2016. Throughout these studies, with an examination of 3630 bryophyte specimens collected from 189 stations, together with 2 from Anthocerotophyta (hornworts), 61 from Marchantiophyta (liverworts), 306 from Bryophyta (mosses), in total 369 specific and infraspecific taxa, belonging to 70 families and 156 genera, have been identified. According to grid square system of Turkey which was adopted by Henderson, 68 taxa for A1 square and 24 taxa for A2 square are new records. Among them, Fissidens curvatus Hornsch., Thamnobryum neckeroides (Hook.) E.Lawton, Plagiothecium neckeroideum Schimp. and Riccia beyrichiana Hampe were recorded for the second time in Turkey. In addition, the present paper reports the first records of Cephaloziella massalongi (Spruce) Müll.Frib, which has been classified as rare (R) in the Red data book of European bryophytes, and Scapania scandica (Arnell et H.Buch) Macvicar in Turkey. Some morphological features, the ecological characteristics and the distribution map of the species are given, along with photographs of diagnostic details.

Epifitska vegetacija mahovina Samanli planine u severozapadnom delu Turske je istraživana na osnovu 191 snimka uzetih Braun-Blanquet metodom sa stabla drveća tokom 2015. i 2016. godine. Kao rezultat ovih istraživanja, utvrdeno je prisustvo 9 epifitskih asocijacija mahovina i 3 subasocijacije. Medu njima, 2 asocijacije i 2 subasocijacije, Neckero - Anomodontetum viticulosi, Neckero - Anomodontetum viticulosi - anomodontetosum viticulosi, Syntrichietum laevipilae, Syntrichietum laevipilae - orthotrichetosum lyellii, konstatovane su po prvi put na teritoriji Turske. Takode, epifitska vegetacija mahovina je analizirana pomoću multivarijantskih analiza, a uradene su i analize životnih formi i životnih strategija vrsta unutar vegetacijskih jedinica. Kao rezultat, dok su dugoživeće višegodišnje jedinke sa visokim reproduktivnim potencijalom dominantne u epifitskoj vegetaciji mahovina, najćešća životna forma je gusta prostirka. © 2018 Institute of Botany and Botanical Garden Jevremovac, Belgrade.; In the present study, epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the Samanli Mountains (northwest Turkey) was investigated on the basis of 191 relevés taken from the trunks of trees by the Braun- Blanquet method between 2015 and 2016. Nine epiphytic bryophyte associations and three subassociations were determined as a result of this investigation. Among them, two associations and two subassociations, viz., Neckero - Anomodontetum viticulosi, Neckero - Anomodontetum viticulosi - anomodontetosum viticulosi, Syntrichietum laevipilae, and Syntrichietum laevipilae - orthotrichetosum lyellii, were recorded for the first time in Turkey. In addition, epiphytic bryophyte vegetation was classified and ordinated using multivariate analysis techniques such as two-way indicator species analysis and detrended correspondence analysis. Besides that, the life form and life strategies of the species within syntaxa were analysed. As a result, it is established that while perennial stayers with a high sexual reproductive effort were dominant within the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation comparatively, the most abundant life form was the mat rough type.
