Aquatic bryophytes can accumulate extremely high levels of chemical elements because of
their unique morphology and physiology which is markedly different from vascular plants …

Mountain stream monitoring is closely related to the survey of bryophyte species since it is
there that these organisms are common and show very specialized ecological niches. This …

Bryophytes occurring in riparian systems where they are seasonally submerged or
inundated are poorly documented in many parts of the world. The actual number of …

Anthoceros lamellatus was reported from North America from a few localities in North and
South Carolina as Aspiromitus appalachianus RM Schust.(Schuster, 1992) and from tropical …

For the conservation of species, it is crucial to predict extinction risk by discerning drivers
such as biological traits and habitat specificity within the current context of environmental …

A floristic and ecological survey was carried out in 187 watercourses of the Portuguese
Northwest mainland and Sicó mountain regions located in the transition zone between …

Bryophytes from submerged habitats are particularly difficult to identify because
developmental plasticity obscures their characteristic features. A deep-water moss …

The identification of macrophyte reference communities represents a significant challenge in
Mediterranean zones, where few aquatic taxa exist compared to other regions of the world …

Floristic and ecological features of aquatic bryophytes, and main abiotic factors, were
studied in 23 mountain streams located in the Western Alps and Central Apennines (Italy). At …

This paper presents information on the ecology and distribution of four species of
Portuguese bryophyte flora. Dichodontium pellucidum (Hedw.) Schimp. and Blindia acuta …
