Sažetak
Sphagnum peatlands are rare habitats in Montenegro, present in the northern part of the country within the Alpine bio-geographical region. These specific ecosystems, which contain layers of compact organic material formed mainly by Sphagnum mosses, were inventoried in 2017–2019. They are located in mountains of Bjelasica, Durmitor, Sinjajevina, Bogićevica, Visitor and Hajla. Moreover, several new habitats not recognized by previous scientists in bryological literature as peatlands with Sphagnum mosses were discovered: in Semolj (Sinjajevina Mt.), around Lake Pešića, in Pešića Rupe and below Zekova Glava and Bogićevica (Prokletije Mt.), Nadgora (Durmitor Mt.). According to the EU Habitats Directive, open habitats with Sphagnum mosses represent the EU Habitats directive type 7140 Transition mires and quaking bogs, and have all-European importance ; therefore, they are all included in the Montenegian Natura 2000 network. Moreover, two forest habitat types with Sphagnum mosses also represent the Natura 2000 habitats: (i) 9410 Acidophilous Picea forests of the montane to alpine level (Vaccinio-Piceetea), recorded in Bandžov, Grope (Hajla Mt.), along the road to Lake Hridsko (Bogićevica Mt.) and in Nadgora (Durmitor Mt.) and, (ii) 95A0 High oro-Mediterranean pine forests, on Bogićevica (Macedonian pine forest in the surrounding of Lake Hridsko). Coniferous forests with Sphagnum mosses are not well-known habitats in Montenegro and require additional research and eventual distinction in the Montenegrian forest typology. The recent paper provides information on distribution, floristic diversity, state and endangerment of Sphagnum peatlands in Montenegro.
