Enhanced Reconstruction of Holocene Bryophytes From Sedimentary Ancient DNA Using Bryophyte‐Targeted Primers

Environmental DNA
The Arctic is warming rapidly, yet long‐term data on how this affects bryophytes, key components of Arctic vegetation, remain limited. Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) provides high‐resolution taxonomic insights that can reveal vegetational responses to

Diversity of bryophyte flora and vegetation on rotten wood in rain and montane forests of northeastern Tanzania [PDF]

, 1999
Decomposing wood forms the substrate for special lignicolous, hygrophilous, and sciophilous plant communities. In a moist tropical forest, vegetation on this substrate consists mostly of bryophytes. The material gathered from Mt.

Digitization connects scattered specimens and enables new historical research: Plants from the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition (1881–1884)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Widespread museum digitization initiatives have made the world's herbaria more accessible than ever, launching a renaissance of specimen use. We highlight the value of digitization to bolster both scientific and historical research using the specimens from the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition (1881–1884) to the Canadian arctic, remembered for its tragedy ...

Temperature-driven vapor pressure deficit structures forest bryophyte communities across the landscape [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) controls local plant physiology and global vegetation productivity. However, at ecologically crucial intermediate spatial scales, the role of VPD variability in forest bryophyte community assembly and the ...

Biogeographic traits of the bryophyte flora of Serbia [PDF]

Botanica Serbica, 2019
The biogeography of bryophytes present in Serbia is analysed for the first time in this paper. Bryophyte spectra in different regions and units within the country are compared with each other, as well as with the Southeast European spectrum.

Life after herbarium digitisation: Physical and digital collections, curation and use

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Collections of dried plant specimens (herbaria) provide an invaluable resource for the study of many areas of scientific interest and conservation globally. Digitisation increases access to specimens and metadata, enabling efficient use across a broad spectrum of research.

Early Career Researchers advocate for raising the profile of bryophyte ecological research

Basic and Applied Ecology
Bryophyte research is severely underrepresented compared to vascular plant research, even though we know that bryophytes are crucial components of ecosystems and contribute significantly to ecosystem functions and processes, and thus to ecosystem ...

Manual of tropical bryology [PDF]

, 2003
Bryophytes belong to the oldest land plants. They existed already in the Palaeozoic 300 mio years ago in forms which were hardly different from the extant species. They remained relatively unchanged with relatively low evolution rates (and are thus often

A pipeline to compile expert‐verified datasets of digitised herbarium specimens for automated plant identification to accelerate taxonomy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding and protecting plant life is essential for tackling the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change. To support this, we have developed a new digital approach that helps identify plant species more quickly and accurately.
