The endangered species of fen localities in the Czech Republic

Populations of endangered fen-moss: Threeranked Hump-moss (Meesia triquetra), Tufted Fen-moss (Paludella squarrosa), Blandow’s Bog-moss (Helodium blandowii) and Rusty Hook-moss (Scorpidiumscorpioides) were studied. The recent localities of studied species were visited during years 2009 and 2010. Threeranked Hump-moss is only at four localities (Chvojnov, Louky u Černého lesa, Odměny u rybníka Svět a Šimanovské rašeliniště), populations of Threeranked Hump-moss consist of a very few stems. ...

Populations of endangered fen-moss: Threeranked Hump-moss (Meesia triquetra), Tufted Fen-moss (Paludella squarrosa), Blandow’s Bog-moss (Helodium blandowii) and Rusty Hook-moss (Scorpidiumscorpioides) were studied. The recent localities of studied species were visited during years 2009 and 2010. Threeranked Hump-moss is only at four localities (Chvojnov, Louky u Černého lesa, Odměny u rybníka Svět a Šimanovské rašeliniště), populations of Threeranked Hump-moss consist of a very few stems. Tufted Fen-moss grows at ten localities (Bažiny, Damašek, Louky u Černého lesa, Louky v Jeníkově, Odranec, Panská, Rašeliniště u Suchdola, Ratajské rybníky, Skalské rašeliniště and Staviště). Blandow’s Bog-moss was found only at four localities (Ráj-Kokořinský důl, Ruda, Urbánkův palouk and Vidnavské mokřiny), occurrence of Blandow’s Bog-moss at locality Bažanka was not confirm. Rusty Hook-moss occurs at seven localities (Břehyně, Baronský rybník, Chvojnov, Polabská Černava, Provodínská pískovna, Swamp and Ranská jezírka). All of these localities are recently supported by suitable management e.g. cutting grass, removing expanding tree seedlings and reeds, however management should be sensitive to endangered moss-species and consulted with specialists
