Bryophytes

[redflex]

Looking for a good field guide for bryophytes, only could find very costly ones on Alana Ecology anywhere else to look? :(

Suggestions please, have an exam at Uni which includes Bryophytes id.

Hi

Have a look at The British Bryological Society (http://www.britishbryologicalsociety. org.uk/) website, there's a wealth of info there. Also have a look at Summerfield books (http://www.summerfieldbooks.com/catalogue/cat5_21.htm) who sell most bryophyte related books. I'm afraid most of the more specialised books are quite expensive! The Moss Flora of Britain and Ireland by Smith and The Liverwort Flora by Patton are the standard texts in the UK. The recently published Mosses & Liverworts by Porley & Hodgetts is an excellent general intro to bryophytes.

What exam are you doing just out of interest?

Studying Forestry and Woodland Environmental Management

The exam is for Field Techniques in Ecology.


Thanks for the links,

Which ones did you do for?

I still use Philips: Grasses, Ferns, Mosses and Lichens [Pan. 1980. ISBN 0330259598]

Used it in my dissertation [lichens as air quality indicators] and you have the added bonus of all the other bits too.
