Bryogeographical elements of moss flora in glacial cirques "Śnieżne Kotły" (Karkonosze Mts.) and their threat
Based on geographical and ecological analysis of the present moss flora occurring in two contiguous glacial cirques Śnieżne Kotły (Western Karkonosze Mts.), the occurrence of 20 species representing arctic-alpine and subarctic-subalpine elements is discussed. The majority of (sub)arctic- (sub)alpine...
