Abstract:
The article presents the Sphagnum species of Romania and assesses their conservation status, based on the latest IUCN criteria. Based on the analyzed data, 35 Sphagnum species are confirmed for Romania (59.32% of Sphagnum Europe species) and 5 species are rejected. Over the past two years, three Sphagnum species have been confirmed as being new to Romania. The re-evaluation of the conservation status of Sphagnum species in Romania has led to the assessment of seven threatened species (20%), fewer than in the previous assessments (nine species). In the field, we have confirmed all 35 Sphagnum species of Romania. We present new records for Sphagnum affine, S. balticum, S. cuspidatum, S. denticulatum, S. divinum, S. fimbriatum, S. inundatum, S. jensenii, S. majus, S. medium, S. obtusum, S. papillosum, S. platyphyllum, S. riparium, S. subfulvum, S. tenellum, and S. wulfianum.
