Distribution of Buxbaumia viridis (Moug. ex Lam. et DC.) Brid. ex Moug. et Nestl. (Bryophyta) in Montenegro

A notable discovery of the moss species Buxbaumia viridis in Montenegro reveals its distribution across 14 high-elevation sites, primarily in the northern and northeastern regions, with elevations exceeding 1300 meters above sea level. Remarkably, Durmitor National Park hosts a significant population at Crno jezero lake, where sporophytes are found on approximately 50 tree trunks. This study contributes valuable insights into the distribution and abundance of this moss species in Montenegro, highlighting its ecological significance within protected areas.
