title: Spatial distribution of bryophyte species diversity in Eastern Europe
abstract: To assess the spatial distribution of bryophytes in Eastern Europe, more than 53,000 localities of 1296 species were analyzed in 397 squares of 100 x 100 km. The number of species within (or density) of one square varies from 591 (southwest of the Kola Peninsula to less than 50 (in arid steppe and semi-desert regions in the southern part of Eastern Europe and in some of arctic and north-taiga poorly studied territories). 8 centers of bryophytes species diversity have been identified in Eastern E
