Abstract
Abstract. Aim. The study comparative analysis of flora of bryophytes and vascular spore plants four excursions caves. Objects. Two caves (Vorontsovskaya and Ahshtyrskaya) are located in the Krasnodar region, one cave (Novoafonskaya) in Abkhazia and one cave (Mramornaya) in Crimea. All the caves laid limestone host rocks, have similar climatic conditions and permanent artificial lighting. Methods. In the Novoafonskaya cave, the study was conducted in 2005-2007, Mramornaya in 2007-2008, Vorontsovskaya in 2003-2009, Ahshtyrskaya in 2008-2009. Mosses and ferns of lamp flora communities studied traditional botanical methods. We determined the abundance and occurrence of species in communities. Results. The study shows that species diversity is higher in caves that have not been cleaned from lamp flora. The similarity of the species composition of the flora found only in two caves of Novoafonskaya and Ahshtyrskaya. Identified a number of species and genera that can be considered characteristic of communities of lamp flora. Conclusions. Each cave is formed by a unique species composition of lamp flora, consisting mainly by species of ubikvist and cosmopolitan. Species richness varies depending on operating conditions of the cave the periodic removal of flora leads to a decrease in species diversity. Species composition is determined by the predominance of the areas of the cave of certain substrates, especially the morphology of the cavity and its connection with the surface.
