Trichocolea wattsiana has richer type material, so we here select that as the name to be used for this species. For two of the names Katagiri (2018) cited the type as “holotype” although the describing author did not select a holotype and there exists type material in more than one herbarium. As it is after the 1 January 2001, it is too late for the “holotype” of Katagiri (2018) to be corrected to lectotype (cf. ICN Art. 7.10, Turland et al. 2018). Thus, we here correct this and formally designate the same specimens as new lectotypes.","PeriodicalId":235732,"journal":{"name":"Acta Biologica Plantarum Agriensis","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121142254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the Sphagnum genus has a worldwide distribution and considerable ecological importance, it is relatively rare for the whole of tropical Africa. The island of Réunion is located in the tropical climate and has a rich Sphagnum flora containing 14 species. Sphagnum species - as an exception amongst mosses - synthesise fructan and have a considerable amount of sucrose as well. No data on fructan content of Sphagnum occuring in tropical habitats have been reported so far. This short paper provided data first, based on experimental results, on the non-structural carbohydrate pool, especially fructans in Sphagnum species from a tropical region, from Réunion Island. Fructans accounted for 2-4% of the total soluble carbohydrates in the examined Sphagnum species. We compared the fructan content of eight Sphagnum species collected from Réunion in relation to their altitude zone and their distribution. The species generally increased their fructan accumulation as the altitude increased. Our preliminary experimental results show that fructans as an alternative storage carbohydrate to starch may play a role in the ecological niche preference of the Sphagnum species according to altitudinal zones.","PeriodicalId":235732,"journal":{"name":"Acta Biologica Plantarum Agriensis","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121144313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found 5 lichen, 47 bryophyte, and 28 tracheophyte species at Myvatn. Overall Shannon diversity (H’) was high at 4.34, with Brillouin (information-theory-based) species diversity (H’) being very similar at 4.32. The greatest diversity occurred at > 25–35°C surface temperature and the least at > 60°C. Zones are defined mostly by temperature and humidity, with Cyanobacteria closest to the vents in the hottest zones, followed by bryophytes, then lichens, then tracheophytes. Bryum argenteum, Ceratodon purpureus, and Fossombronia sp. 1 (probably immature F. foveolata) occupied the highest temperatures near the vents in 1985. Lichens tended to avoid hot soils with high humidity. Soil chemistry most likely plays a role, but with so many variables and many values at unquantifiable levels, we considered it premature to determine their individual effects. By 1987, Bryum argenteum, a near-vent species, had almost totally disappeared, along with the steam emissions where they had thrived. The geothermal areas in cold climates could serve as refugia for more temperate species that may have existed prior to the Ice Age, or they may simply be suitable habitats for northern extensions of the species. This study gives us a glimpse of potential vegetational changes resulting from climate changes as demonstrated in three regions of the world.","PeriodicalId":235732,"journal":{"name":"Acta Biologica Plantarum Agriensis","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127545440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exposure, bedrock type, soil depth, habitat type, percentage cover of stone, bryophyte, lichen, vascular plant and canopy, percentage cover value of all species (lichens, bryophytes and vascular plants), disturbance and animal impacts were recorded, soil pH and CaCO 3 content were measured. Altogether 154 species (42 lichens, 97 vascular plants, 15 bryophytes) were recorded in the 46 quadrats. Sporadic populations of these species mostly live in top of hills and mountains in “Open acidofrequent oak forests”, but they may occur in other habitat types, such as “Closed acidofrequent oak forests”, “Slope steppes on stony soils”, “Siliceous open rocky grasslands”, “Open sand steppes”, “ Nardus swards and other acidofrequent grasslands on shallow soils” and “Dry Calluna heaths”. The conclusion of our investigation is that Cladonia rangiferina grows in higher canopy closure (mean 38%, max. 95%), than C. arbuscula (mean 26%, max. 70%) and Cladonia mitis (mean 15%, max. 70%) in the Balaton Uplands. Furthermore, canopy cover showed significant differences between occupied and non-occupied relevés in case of all three investigated species. Cladonia rangiferina is a rather good indicator species of natural and seminatural habitats in Hungary because of its narrow distribution area and its low ecological tolerance.
