III – superior subalpine zone: 1700-2000 m altitude, annual mean temperatures of 0-2°C and precipitationsof 1200 mm per year;IV – inferior subalpine zone: 1500-1700 m altitude, annual mean temperatures of 2-4°C and precipitations of1100 mm per year;V – superior montane zone: 1000-1500 m altitude, annual mean temperatures of 4-6°C and precipitations of1000 mm per year;VI – inferior montane zone: 750-1000 m altitude, annual mean temperatures of 6-8°C and precipitations of800 mm per year;VII – the zone with annual mean temperatures of 8-9°C and precipitations of 800 mm per year;VIII – the zone with annual mean temperatures of 8-9°C and precipitations of 700 mm per year;IX – the zone with annual mean temperatures of 8-10°C and precipitations of 600 mm per year;X – the zone with annual mean temperatures of 10-11°C and precipitations of 600 mm per year;XI – the zone with annual mean temperatures of over 11°C and precipitations of 600 mm per year;XII – the zone with annual mean temperatures of 10-11°C and precipitations of 500 mm per year;XIII – the zone with annual mean temperatures of over 11°C and precipitations of 500 mm per year;XIV – the zone with annual mean temperatures of 9-11°C and precipitations of 400 mm per year;XV – the zone with annual mean temperatures of over 11°C and precipitations of 400 mm per year;XVI – the zone with annual mean temperatures of over 11°C and precipitations under 400 mm per year;XVII – the zone with annual mean temperatures of over 11°C, average temperatures for January of 0°C andover 0°C and precipitations under 400 mm per year.Fig. 4. The climatic map used for the representation of the chorology of hornworts and liverworts in Romania (Ştefănuţ S.).For the zones 1-6 it was possible to make a correlation between the altitude and the climatic zones,for the other zones, 7-17, a differentiation appeared in function of the continentality degree, therefore, thezones from the west and southwestern areas of the country, have similar temperatures with those in thesouth-eastern parts of the country, but the precipitations are much higher, especially in the south-west ofthe country, where the climate has strong sub-Mediterranean influences.In the above left corner of the map the signs used for the different information groups are shown(literature and herbaria, det./conf. Ştefănuţ S., as doubtful data and habitat extinct).19
