A contribution to the vascular and bryophyte flora of the upper Neretva and Zalomka river valleys (Bosnia and Herzegovina)Milanović, Đorđije (Avtor) Strgulc Krajšek, Simona (Avtor) Brujić, Jugoslav (Avtor) Juraj Čehulić, Ivan (Avtor) Heimer, Valentin (Avtor) Koljanin, Dragan (Avtor) Kravanja, Marija (Avtor) Rešetnik, Ivana (Avtor) Stupar, Vladimir (Avtor) Schönswetter, Peter (Avtor) Frajman, Božo (Avtor) angiospermsmossesnature conservationNeretva Rivervegetationrare speciesBetween 1$^{st}$ and 6$^{th}$ June 2023, we conducted floristic research on several sites in the upper Neretva River valley and along Zalomka River at Nevesinjsko Polje. We recorded 933 taxa in total; 897 plant taxa including 125 bryophytes were found at 51 localities in the upper Neretva River valley, and 200 plant taxa, including 32 bryophytes, were found at 11 sites in the Zalomka River valley. Among the registered taxa, 39 taxa are endemic to the Balkan Peninsula, 56 are listed in the List of endangered and rare taxa of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 27 are on the Red List of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and 95 taxa are protected in the Republic of Srpska. We also registered several species new to the flora of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among Angiosperms these were Barbarea intermedia, Lamium hybridum, Myosotis sicula and Poa ursina, and among bryophytes Fissidens gracilifolius, Grimmia dissimulata, Plagiomnium ellipticum, Schistidium robustum, Sphenolobus minutus, Tortella fasciculata and T. pseudofragilis. Our study reveals the high nature conservation value of the upper Neretva and Zalomka River valleys that should be protected for future generations. In addition, further systematic research of the flora of Bosnia and Herzegovina is needed.20252026-03-15 10:16:20Članek v reviji180719sl
