Sažetak
Worldwide, there are 139 alien bryophyte species. On a European level ca. 2% of bryophyte species are considered as alien ; in total 58 species are listed to be alien at least one part of Europe. Among them, 13 species are classified as cryptogenic, with unclear history of occurrence in Europe. Only five alien and three cryptogenic species have invaded more than five countries and only three species can be recognized as truly invasive: Orthodontium lineare Schwägr., Scopelophila cataractae (Mitt.) Broth. and Campylopus introflexus (Hedw.) Brid. All three species have started their invasion in Europe from Great Britain. Campylopus introflexus is the most widespread invasive moss in Europe. It has been spreading from Great Britain eastwards since 1941, causing serious changes in coastal sand habitats of western Europe and invading many various habitats in central Europe, but preferably occupying anthropogenically influenced, bare, acidic and nutrient poor soils. In south-eastern Europe, in Croatia, the species was recorded for first time in 2013. It has been found in the Dinaric Mts area, in a karst field, Vrhovinsko polje, covered mainly by various grassland communities and to a small extent by arable fields. The species occupies a very restricted area of 2 square metres of leached bare soil and pine bark remnants. At the moment, it is not a threat to native flora, but special attention should be paid to specific sandy habitats of peri-Pannonian and Mediterranean regions.
