Abstract
Present work identify the relations between the distribution of some species of bryophytes and the principal mesoclimatic gradients along the north-south section of the Adige Valley between the border of Veneto—Trentino Alto Adige and the entrance to the Venosta Valley. The correlations between the distribution of some groups of species of bryophytes belonging to different chorotypes and the main climatic variables of the transect make it possible to formulate a few biogeographic hypotheses.
