Abstract
A comparative study of the bryophytes in some Sardinian and Corsican wetlands of major naturalistic value, such as the “padule of Suartone” (SE Corsica) and “pauli of the Giara of Gesturi” (C Sardinia), was carried out. In Europe, these habitats (Mediterranean temporary pond) are indicated as priority natural habitats under the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC. In the Sardinian pauli, 56 taxa (50 Bryophyta and six Marchantiophyta) were found, while in the Corsican padule, 30 taxa (21 Bryophyta and nine Marchantiophyta) are reported. Among the bryophytes collected in the padule, the discovery of Scleropodium cespitans, Riccia perennis and Campylopus introflexus is of particular phytogeographic interest. Data are here reported together with information on the phytogeography and ecology of the recorded species.
