Study on the Moss Flora of the Daiyunshan National Nature Reserve, Fujian Province

Based on field investigation and identification of 2198 collected samples,302 species (including infraspecific taxa) belonging to 130 genera of 47 families in Daiyunshan National Nature Reserve were identified, among which 3 families, 11 genera, and 74 species were new records to Fujian province. The moss flora of Daiyunshan was characterized by sub-tropical elements.The total elements dominated by East Asia type,representing 33.33% of the entire species,followed by Tropical Asia element (22.22%) and North Temperate element (16.67%).The result showed that Daiyunshan had more characteristics of Linnan Region through the comparsion of the moss flora of Daiyunshan with Yushan (Taiwan province),Yangjifeng (Jiangxi province),Dapanshan (Zhejiang province),Maoershan (Guangxi pro-vince),Jiuwanshan (Guangxi province),Eastern Jiufengshan (Fujian province),Daweishan (Yunnan province) and Emeishan (Sichuan province).Cluster Analysis of these 9 regions showed that Daiyunshan was closer to Maoershan,Jiuwanshan,Daweishan from Lingnan Region,and nearby Emeishan.Therefore,we suggest that the boundaries between Lingnan Region and East China Region should be slightly moved northward.
