Ghahreman, A., Mehdigholi, K., Nejad-Sattari, T. & Attar, F. 2003 12 30: A preliminary study of moss flora of Golestan province and comparison with Iranian mosses. - Iran. Journ. Bot. 10(1): 63-81. Tehran.
In this study, moss flora in Golestan province has been compared with Iranian moss flora .. Thirty nine locations in the province were used for the res arch and collection of the plants. Hundred and seventeen pe ie were gathereu constituting a high percentage (nearly one third) of the Iota I number of rno s specks found throughout the country. The hst or mos nora or Iran is presented in thi paper. The pecics occurmg in .olestun province are signed by an asterisk. Localities or tile new collections are given.

Introduction Floristic analysis [ran is a vast country with a climate which has The total number of Iranian moss species is given rise to high diversity of plant species. 353 which are placed in 117 genera and 29' There are nearly 8000 plant species indentified families. These numbers are based mainly on in Iran. In addition to these lower plants are the following papers: Frey & Kurschner 1977; also widely distributed. Bearing in mind the Frey & Kurschner 1983; Shirzadian, 1989; growth of mosses in regions not characterised Sirzadian & Kumar, 1994; Kurschner, 1996; as humid, Iran with its wide dry areas can be of Shirzadian 1996; Kianrnehr, Shirzadian & interest from the moss flora point of view. Sotoodehnia, 2000; Shirzadian, 2000 and Golestan province is situated in East of the Shirzadian & al., 2000; Kurschner & al. The Caspian sea and has an area of about 20,891 sq largest moss families in Iran are Pottiaceae krn. The province is surrounded from with 80, Brachytheciaceae with 39 and northwest by the Caspian sea, in east by Bryaceae with 37 species respectively. Mosses Khorasan, in West by Mazandaran, in North by can be divided into two basic categories: Turkamanistan, and in South by Semnan acrocarpous (mostly belonging to arid regions) province respectively. Alborz mountain and pleurocarpous (mostly belonging to the range's high elevations South of the Caspian humid regions). There are 250 acrocarpous and sea catches the sea's moisture, thus creating a 103 pleurocarpous species in Iran. humid climate and dense forest in zone In this study, nearly 400 specimens were between the sea and the mountains. Golestan gathered in Golestan province which belong to province is one of the most humid provinces 117 species, 57 genera and 23 families (Table of Iran. It has a Caspian-like temperate and 1). The largest families are Pottiaceae (79 humid climate caused by: Alborz mountain species), Brachytheciaceae and Bryaceae (39 range, the geographic orientation of the species), Amblystegiaceae (23 species) and mountain range, the elevation and the Grimmiaceae (22 species) respectively. (Fig. mountain proximity with the sea. Based on the 1). mentioned conditions, three types of climates Identification of the species are mainly can be identified as follows: based on: Bilewsky, 1965; Agnew & 1. Temperate plain land climate at the East of Vondracek, 1975; Smith, 1978; Watson, 1981; the province with annual rainfall 1200-1300 Noguchi, 1988, 1991; Zhu & So, 1996. mrn which decreases eastwards. 2. Mountainous climate at the high elevations List of localities and northern slopes of the Alborz mountains. 10 km after Aliabad to Azad Shahr, Shirabad 3.Semi-arid climate including parts of Gonbad village, 139m (I) and Gorgan steep slopes which extends from Aliabad, Gorogh forest, mountains, 800m (2) North of the Gorgan river to the borders of Aliabad, Kabudval, 500-1100m (3) Turkamanistan.
