The knowledge of bryophytes growing on metal-contaminated sites is still insufficient in Slovakia. This study deals with bryophyte flora of three mine heaps (Podlipa, Richtárová and Maximilián) with copper-rich substrate. A total of 54 relevés was made, in which a total of 45 bryophyte species (43 mosses and 2 liverworts) was recorded. Species-richest mine heap was Podlipa with 31 bryophyte species (29 mosses and 2 liverworts) and species-poorest was Maximilián with 20 species of mosses. 11 species were mutual for all three mine heaps, while 9 species where present only on Podlipa, 8 on Richtárová and 4 on Maximilián. The most representative bryophytes, in terms of their occurrence and cover, are Ceratodon purpureus, Pohlia cruda, Dicranum scoparium, Hypnum cupressiforme, Pleurozium schreberi, Brachythecium salebrosumand, Plagiomnium affine. Occurence of bryophytes on metal-contaminated sites was discussed.

The area of the Nízký Jeseník Mts. is, among other things, well known for its shale roofing tiles since the 18th century. In places where shale was intensively or extensively exploited until 1945, abandoned areas after mining works remained. In general, every mining is perceived as a activity of landscape degradation by the public. However, these indelible traces of shale mining in the form of various mining-related objects (e.g. abandoned quarries, quarry ponds, shafts, drains etc.) are also gradually becoming places that are colonised by unique plant and animal communities. There are very interesting species bond to specific environmental conditions of post-mining landscape, with frequent rare and endangered species. People have also become ‘new’ colonisers in the case of the shale landscape.
