Abstract

In this study, the bryophyte flora of the Biga Peninsula (Canakkale province) was investigated. In total 119 taxa were found in this area. According to the grid-square system formed by Henderson (1961), 37 moss taxa for A1 square are new records. Among them Rhabdoweisia crispata, Schistidium robustum and Scorpidium cossonii are recorded for the first time in Turkey. In addition Mielichhoferia elongata (Hoppe & Hornsch. ex Hook.) Hornsch. and Meesia uliginosa Hedw. were given as new records from the Thrace region for Turkey. And also all new national records are described and illustrated. Diagnostic characters, a description, detailed illustrations and taxonomic comments on the species are given. It is compared with the related species and the geographic distributions of the new records are given.

Author Biography

Ozlem Tonguc Yayintas

Dr. Ozlem Tonguc Yayintas is a dedicated researcher and academic at Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Biga Vocational College, Turkey. Holding a Ph.D. in Botany, her expertise spans bryology, environmental science, and the use of non-vascular plants as bioindicators for environmental pollution. She has made significant contributions to the moss flora of Western Turkey, particularly the Biga Peninsula and Thrace region, as documented in her published work. With an extensive publication record of 63 works and over 600 citations, her research impact is evident. Her current research explores DNA methylation in bryophytes as a biomarker for monitoring environmental pollution. Dr. Yayintas also serves as a reviewer for the Global Journal of Science Frontier Research, reflecting her commitment to advancing scientific knowledge.
