Abstract

Abstract - The bryophyte flora of Virginia is vastly understudied compared to its vascular flora. Few instances of bryological investigation occurred in the state until interest rose in the 19th and 20th centuries. The full distribution of many common bryophyte species in the state remains incomplete due to a lack of field investigation. Here, we add to the knowledge of Virginia's bryophytes by documenting 39 total species of bryophytes from our study sites, including 15 new records of bryophyte species for Montgomery County. We made collections in an urban old-growth forest fragment and a secondary-growth forest on the campus of Virginia Tech. We devote special discussion to observations of 2 hepatic species and their ecological significance.

弗吉尼亚州蒙哥马利县校园原生林和次生林苔藓植物多样性研究

摘要:与维管植物区系相比，弗吉尼亚的苔藓植物区系研究不足。直到19世纪和20世纪，该州才出现了很少的苔藓调查实例。由于缺乏实地调查，该州许多常见苔藓植物种类的完整分布仍不完整。在这里，我们记录了39种来自我们研究地点的苔藓植物，其中包括蒙哥马利县的15种新记录的苔藓植物，从而增加了对弗吉尼亚州苔藓植物的了解。我们在弗吉尼亚理工大学校园的一个城市原始森林片段和一个次生林中进行了收集。我们特别讨论了2种肝脏物种的观察及其生态意义。

期刊介绍： The Northeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the northeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from Virginia to Missouri, north to Minnesota and Nunavut, east to Newfoundland, and south back to Virginia. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion. The journal welcomes manuscripts based on observations and research focused on the biology of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and communities as it relates to their life histories and their function within, use of, and adaptation to the environment and the habitats in which they are found, as well as on the ecology and conservation of species and habitats. Such studies may encompass measurements, surveys, and/or experiments in the field, under lab conditions, or utilizing museum and herbarium specimens. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, anatomy, behavior, biogeography, biology, conservation, evolution, ecology, genetics, parasitology, physiology, population biology, and taxonomy. Strict lab, modeling, and simulation studies on natural history aspects of the region, without any field component, will be considered for publication as long as the research has direct and clear significance to field naturalists and the manuscript discusses these implications.
