Abstract :In this study, the moss flora of Demirkapı Plateau Glacial Lakes and their surroundings in the Çaykara region of Trabzon were investigated. Bryofloristic study was conducted at 24 different localities during various vegetation periods between 2024 and 2025, and a total of 1060 bryophyte specimens were collected. As a result of the identification of bryophyte specimens 291 bryophyte taxa (244 taxa mosses, 46 taxa liverworts, and 1 taxon hornworts) were identified from the study area. Among the results, Lophozia silvicola, Andreaea alpestris, Andreaea mutabilis, Niphotrichum canescens subsp. latifolium and Sphagnum russowii were recorded for the second time in the bryophyte flora of Türkiye. Furthermore, 43 bryophyte taxa are new for Trabzon Province and 119 bryophyte taxa are new for Çaykara District. Distribution and habitat information is provided for each identified bryophyte taxon.
