Abstract

Seventy·two species of mosses distributed among 43 genera and 19 families are reported for the Niobrara Valley Preserve and adjacent area. Fourteen new state records of mosses are added to the Nebraska flora. Distributional affinities for the mosses corroborated biogeographical data and hypotheses involving a strong western (arid and montane), northern (boreal), and eastern (temperate) taxic influence due to past vegetational changes associated with Pleistocene events.
