Abstract

The epiphytic bryoflora of Norway spruce in four forest communities of Bialowieza National Park consists of 27 species, including 5 liverworts. The first factor differentiating the distribution of the bryophytes is the surrounding forest community and the other - the tree section. Composition of facultative epiphytes on the tree trunk basis reflects the influence of forest association on epiphytic bryoflora on spruce, with the acidity of habitat being the main differentiating factor.
