ABSTRACT. In the Southern Kraka Range (the Bashkir State Nature Reserve, South Ural region), the observation and classification of some epiphytic, epixylic, and epilithic bryophyte communities were performed following the Brown-Blanquet approach. The revealed communities are represented by five associations and four rangless communities belonging to 5 classes, 6 orders and 6 alliances. The relevés and localities of the communities of the classes Racomitrietea heterostichi Neumayr 1971 and Ctenidietea mollusci von Hübschmann ex Grgić 1980 are reported for the South Urals for the first time.
