dc.description.abstractIn this study, epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the Akyazı District in Sakarya Province (Turkey) was investigated. Inthe different vegetation periods of the year 2017, a total of 85 relevés taken from the trunks of trees and wereclassified by Braun-Blanquet method and regulated by using Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA)and Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). TWINSPAN classification technique produced two mainvegetation groups include eight clusters at the third level. The results of DECORANA indicated that the distributionpatterns of epiphytic communities change from xeric to mesic and along the lower base and upper zones. The mostimportant ecological factor for the epiphytic community differentiation in the study area, according to the ordinationdiagram, is humidity of the epiphytic habitats. Consequently, six epiphytic bryophyte associations and twosubassociations were determined in the present paper. Among them; Orthotrichetum pallentis for the second time andPterigynandretum filiformis -leucodontetosum sciuroidis were recorded for the first time in Turkey. Moreover,Orthotrichetum pallentis - isothecietosum alopecuroidis subass. nova was described as a new epiphytic associationfrom the Akyazı District of Sakarya Province. Floristic and ecological characteristics such as; (humidity, light,acidity) of these new syntaxa are given with detailed descriptions.
