Marstaller, R.: Bryophyte communities in the landscape of porphyry outcrops near Halle/S. (Saxony
Anhalt). – Hercynia N. F. 43 (2010): 19 –70.
In the porphyry district between the towns Halle, Wettin, Löbejün and Landsberg, situated in the central
part of Saxony Anhalt, the bryophyte communities have been recorded. Significant there are acidophytic
associations of the alliances Grimmion commutatae, Ceratodonto purpurei-Polytrichion piliferi,
Dicranellion heteromallae, Diplophyllion albicantis, neutrophytic or basiphytic communities of the alliances
Grimmion tergestinae, Grimaldion fragrantis, Phascion cuspidati, epiphytic associations of the
alliances Ulotion crispae, Syntrichion laevipilae, Leskeion polycarpae and some communities on rotten
wood. 52 associations and communities are represented by numerous relevés in 31 tables. A bryogeographic
discussion of some characteristic bryophyte species and communities for the porphyry district
is given.
