Abstract
The article presents the results of research on epiphytic bryophyte communities of the Dendrological
Park “Olexandria”. The study was conducted in the historical part of the arboretum in 2021. Among the
investigated phorophytes were the following tree species: Acer platanoides, A. pseudoplatanus, Betula pendula,
Carpinus betulus, Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus robur, Populus sp., Salix babylonica, and some others.
The research results showed that the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the historical part of the
Dendrological Park “Olexandria” is represented by two unranked communities and 11 associations
belonging to six unions, four orders, and three classes. The most widespread in the arboretum are the
associations Dicrano scoparii-Hypnetum filiformis, Platygyrietum repentis, Leskeetum polycarpae, and the rankless
community Leucodon sciuroides of the class Frullanio dilatatae-Leucodontetea sciuroidis.
It is shown that in terms of the number of detected bryophyte associations, the Dendrological Park
“Olexandria” is similar to the National Nature Park “Homilsha Woods”, which is located in the Kharkiv
region (hosts 11 reported associations) and the Nature Reserve “Kanivskyi” in the Cherkasy region (12
reported associations). However, it is poorer than the National Nature Park “Holosiivskyi” in Kyiv, where
16 bryoassociations were registered.

Introduction
Bryophytes are an integral component in
most ecosystems, forming fairly stable
communities. Bryophyte communities are
the basis of the moss cover and its structural
elementary unit, which exists in nature and
can be classified. Currently, two approaches
to classifying moss communities are
known (Gapon, 2004). In the first approach,
the bryogroups are considered synuses
(a component of the horizontal structure
of phytocenoses), which are an element
of the general classification of vegetation.

Pleskach et al.
Investigation of moss synuses in Ukraine was
carried by such bryologists as Ulychna (1958,
1980), Partyka (1966), and Boyko (1978).
According to the second approach, moss
communities are considered independent
coenoses classified independently from the
associations of higher vascular plants. Still,
they are classified according to the ecological
and vegetation principles using the Brown-
Blanquet method. The study and classification
of bryophyte vegetation by the Brown-
Blanquet method began in Ukraine only at the
end of the 20th century (Gapon et al., 1998).
Information about the bryophyte vegetation of
the forest-steppe part of Ukraine is presented
in a number of publications by Poltava
bryologists Svitlana and Yurii Gapon (Gapon
2007a, 2007b, 2009, 2012a, 2012b, 2015, 2017;
Gapon & Gapon, 2018).
An article on epiphytic and epixylic
bryogroups of the National Nature
Park “Holosiivskyi” appeared recently
(Onyshchenko & Virchenko, 2020). The
bryocommunities of the Dendrological Park
“Oleksandria” remained unstudied until yet. At
the same time, this task was relevant because
the diversity of tree species combined with
humid habitats make the arboretum a perfect
model object for studying epiphytic moss
communities.
Material and methods
In 2021, we conducted research to study
the epiphytic bryophyte communities in
the localities of the historical part of the
Dendrological Park “Olexandria” (Fig. 1).
The moss communities were examined
on the following phorophytes: Acer
platanoides L., A. pseudoplatanus L.,
Betula pendula Roth, Carpinus betulus L.,
Fraxinus excelsior L., Quercus robur L.,
Populus sp., Salix babylonica L. and some
other. Description of moss communities
on experimental phorophytes was carried
Figure 1. The historical part of the Dendrological Park “Olexandria”. Numbers indicate the arboretum
sections.
Plant Introduction • 101/102 21
Epiphytic bryophyte communities of the Dendrological Park “Olexandria”
out using 10×40 cm plots, while the
coordinates of the point, exposure, angle
of inclination of the tree trunk, and height
from the soil surface were recorded. In
total, 47 such descriptions were made. The
bryophyte associations names are provided
according to Marstaller (2006), and higher
syntaxonomy follows Mucina et al. (2016).
The bryophyte taxonomy follows the recent
checklist of Hodgetts et al. (2020).
Results and discussion
The research results revealed that the
epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the
historical part of the Dendrological Park
“Olexandria” is represented by two unranked
groups and 11 associations belonging to six
unions, four orders, and three classes. The
constancy of observed species in orders is
shown in Table 1.

The class Frullanio dilatatae-Leucodontetea
sciuroidis unites mostly epiphytic moss
communities developing on the bark of living
trees. Groups of the order Orthotrichetalia
(described in Table 2) consist of heliophylic
mesophytic and mesoxerophytic species
growing on trees with a neutral or alkaline
bark reaction. Characteristic and dominant
species of five associations of this order are
Leskea polycarpa Hedw., Pylaisia polyantha
(Hedw.) Schimp., and species of the genus
Orthotrichum Hedw s.l. These communities
occur on such trees species as Salix
babylonica, Populus sp., Fraxinus excelsior, and
Acer platanoides. The unranked community
Leucodon sciuroides (Hedw.) Schwagr. also
develops on maples and ash trees, less often
on oaks.
Communities of the order Dicranetalia
scoparii (described in Table 3) are confined
to trees with an acidic bark reaction or
dead. Investigation showed that mosses
Jochenia pallescens (Hedw.) P. Beauv., Hypnum
cupressiforme Hedw., Platygyrium repens
(Brid.) Schimp., and Dicranum montanum
Hedw. are characteristic and dominant species
for three associations of this order. These
communities occur on such tree species as
Betula pendula and Quercus robur.
The class Cladonio digitatae-Lepidozietea
reptantis (described in Table 4) comprises only
one order Brachythecietalia rutabulo-salebrosi,
with one union Bryo capillaris-Brachythecion
rutabuli. Brachythecium salebrosum (Hoffm.
ex F. Weber et D. Mohr) Schimp. is the
characteristic and dominant species of the
mentioned class and order. It was registered
on Betula pendula and Quercus robur. The class
generally includes epixylic groups, which are
out of the scope of our current investigation.
From this class, the association Brachythecio
salebrosi-Amblystegietum juratzkani
(Marstaller, 1987) with the characteristic
species Amblystegium serpens (Hedw.) Schimp.
can be identified in the arboretum. It was
also discovered in the National Nature Park
“Holosiivskyi” (Onyshchenko & Virchenko,
2020).
The class Neckeretea complanatae
(described in Table 4) includes relatively large
sciaphilic mosses growing on the substrates
with a neutral or alkaline reaction. Such
mosses as Pseudanomodon attenuatus (Hedw.)
Huebener, Anomodon longifolius (Schleich.
ex Brid.) Hartm., and Homalia trichomanoides
(Hedw.) Brid. are characteristic and dominant
species of three associations of the order
Neckeretalia complanatae. These communities
were discovered in the arboretum on the bark
of Fraxinus excelsior and Quercus petraea

trees. The unranked community Anomodon
viticulosus (Hedw.) Hook et Taylor was
registered on the same phorophytes. In the
Dendrological Park “Olexandria”, communities
of this class occur less often compared to
those of previously mentioned classes; they
are more spread into the old trees and more
humid ecotopes on the slopes of the ravines.
In some places of the arboretum, especially on
a plateau, the drying up of Anomodon Hook et
Taylor s.l. species has been noted, which leads
to the degradation of these communities.
In terms of the number of detected
moss associations, the Dendrological Park
“Olexandria” is similar to the National Nature
Park “Homilsha Woods” in the Kharkiv region,
where 11 moss associations were found
(Gapon, 2012a) and the Kanivskyi Nature
Reserve in the Cherkasy region, were observed
12 associations (Gapon, 2012b), but poorer than
the “Holosiivskyi” National Nature Park in Kyiv,
where 16 bryoassociations were registered
(Onyshchenko& Virchenko, 2020).
We believe that communities of the class
Cladonio digitatae-Lepidozietea reptantis,
which mainly develop on dead wood
and epilithic mossy vegetation, deserve
further research in the Dendrological Park
“Olexandria”. The syntaxonomic affiliation of
the expansive epiphytic mosses Dicranum
tauricum Sap. and Syntrichia papillosa (Wills.)
Jur., which have been spreading on tree
trunks in the natural forests of Ukraine in
recent decades (Virchenko, 2011) and were
discovered on the territory of Dendrological
Park “Olexandria” also require a separate study
(Virchenko & Pleskach, 2020).
Conclusions
Results of the investigations showed that
the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the
historical part of the Dendrological Park
“Olexandria” is represented by two unranked
communities and 11 associations that belong to
six unions, four orders, and three classes.
The most widespread in the arboretum
are the associations Dicrano scoparii-
Hypnetum filiformis, Platygyrietum repentis,
Leskeetum polycarpae, and the unranked
community Leucodon sciuroides of the class
Frullanio dilatatae-Leucodontetea sciuroidis.
Communities of the class Neckeretea
complanatae (Anomodontetum attenuati,
Anomodontetum longifolii, Plagiomnio
cuspidati-Homalietum trichomanoidis, and
unranked community Anomodon viticulosus)
occur less frequently in the Dendrological
Park “Olexandria” and tend to more humid
ecotopes.

У статті представлені результати досліджень епіфітних мохових угруповань дендропарку
“Олександрія”. Дослідження проводили в локалітетах історичної частини дендропарку “Олександрія”
у 2021 році. Серед досліджених форофітів були представлені наступні деревні види: Acer platanoides,
A. pseudoplatanus, Betula pendula, Carpinus betulus, Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus robur, Populus sp., Salix babylonica
та деякі інші.
Результати досліджень показали, що епіфітна мохова рослинність історичної частини дендропарку
“Олександрія” представлена двома безранговими угрупованнями та 11 асоціаціями, які належать до
шести союзів, чотирьох порядків і трьох класів. Найбільш поширеними в дендропарку виявилися
асоціації Dicrano scoparii-Hypnetum filiformis, Platygyrietum repentis, Leskeetum polycarpae та безрангове
угруповання Leucodon sciuroides класу Frullanio dilatatae-Leucodontetea sciuroidis.
Установлено, що за кількістю виявлених мохових асоціацій дендропарк “Олександрія” подібний
до Національного природного парку “Гомільшанські ліси” Харківської обл. (11 зареєстрованих
асоціацій) та Природного заповідника “Канівський” Черкаської обл. (12 зареєстрованих асоціацій),
але бідніший від Національного природного парку “Голосіївський”, що знаходиться в місті Київ, де
зареєстровано 16 бріоасоціацій.
Ключові слова: епіфітні мохові угруповання, форофіт, бріоасоціації, дендропарк “Олександрія”

The study was conducted in the historical part of the arboretum in 2021. Among the investigated phorophytes were the following tree species: Acer platanoides, A. pseudoplatanus, Betula pendula, Carpinus betulus, Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus robur, Populus sp., Salix babylonica, and some others.The research results showed that the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the historical part of the Dendrological Park “Olexandria” is represented by two unranked communities and 11 associations belonging to six unions, four orders, and three classes. The most widespread in the arboretum are the associations Dicrano scoparii-Hypnetum filiformis, Platygyrietum repentis, Leskeetum polycarpae, and the rankless community Leucodon sciuroides of the class Frullanio dilatatae-Leucodontetea sciuroidis.It is shown that in terms of the number of detected bryophyte associations, the Dendrological Park “Olexandria” is similar to the National Nature Park “Homilsha Woods”, which is located in the Kharkiv region (hosts 11 reported associations) and the Nature Reserve “Kanivskyi” in the Cherkasy region (12 reported associations). However, it is poorer than the National Nature Park “Holosiivskyi” in Kyiv, where 16 bryoassociations were registered.
