Abstract :In this study, epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of Beldibi and Babadağ forests has been studied in northwest Turkey (Zonguldak). A total of 55 sample plots were studied. Phytosociological data, obtained from sampe plots, were classified according to the Barun Balnquet method. And also sample plots were ordinated with Detrended Correspondance Analysis (DCA) and classified with two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN). The results indicated that three bryosociological unit were determined from the forests. These; Neckeretum crispae , Anomodonto viticulosi-Leucodontetum sciuroidis and, Orthotricho straminei-Pterigynandretum filiformis . Amanog them Neckeretum crispae was reported for the first time from Turkey.Keywords : Bryophyte, Epiphyte, Vegetation, Zonguldak
