This book is a richly illustrated introductory text summarising and explaining recent advances made across various aspects of bryophyte biology. No prior knowledge is necessary, making this ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as amateur botanists wanting to understand the fundamental aspects of bryophyte morphology and diversity.
Bryophytes were a pivotal step in land plant evolution, and their significance in the regulation of ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity is becoming increasingly acknowledged. This introductory textbook assumes no prior knowledge of bryophyte biology, making it ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as amateur botanists. The authors expertly summarise the diversity of bryophytes and outline recent advances in our understanding of their evolutionary history, their ecological roles and preferences, their distribution patterns and conservation needs. The text is highly illustrated throughout, with boxed summaries of topics of current relevance in bryophyte biology, and a glossary of technical terms.
