She considered the possibility that it might be Tortula amplexa, but although the plant had abundant rhizoidal tubers, they did not match those of T. amplexa. She sent some material to Richard Fisk, who suggested that it might be T. bolanderi, a moss not previously recorded in Britain. T.L.B. subsequently compared the Norfolk plants with material of T. bolanderi from Tenerife and confirmed the identification. Tortula bolanderi is known from Macaronesia (Canary Islands, Madeira) and a few widely scattered localities in Southwest Europe but is more widely distributed in western North America. It was first discovered on rocks near San Francisco Bay, California, and was described as a new species, Barbula bolanderi, by Leo Lesquereux in a paper read to the American Philosophical Society in 1863 (Lesquereux 1869). The species was named after Henry Bolander (1831– 1897), a teacher originally from Germany who had settled in San Francisco in 1861 and subsequently became state botanist for California. In this paper, we report Tortula bolanderi as a moss new to Britain, provide a description and illustrations of the British material, and discuss its presence in Norfolk and more widely in Europe. The nomenclature of bryophytes in the text follows the European Checklist of Hodgetts et al.

Two subpopulations of the species have occurred, associated with the two main ore bodies on the island. One of the subpopulations has become extinct. The other subpopulation comprises colonies at four nearby disused metal mines. It occurs at each in small quantity, with a total population of 47 occupied 1 m grid cells. The species is confined to open metalliferous spoil with high concentrations of lead. Solenostoma gracillimum is the only frequent associate. Management intervention to re-expose open metalliferous spoil will be required ultimately to save the species from extinction.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":"45 1","pages":"30 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46235533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following previous assessments in 2001 and 2011, the aim of this study was to provide a new IUCN Red List of the bryophytes of Britain. Methods Following IUCN guidance, all species known to have occurred in Britain since ad 1500 (n = 1097) were assessed based on a comprehensive review and synthesis of available information. Various new measures are provided here for all species, such as the number of subpopulations, area of occupancy, and extent of occurrence, in addition to national population estimates for 181 species. Results are compared with the previous Red List assessment of 2011. Key results and conclusions Species were categorised as Regionally Extinct (RE, n = 4), Not Applicable (NA, n = 23), Data Deficient (DD, n = 45), Critically Endangered (CR, n = 59), Endangered (EN, n = 52), Vulnerable (VU, n = 80), Near Threatened (n = 39) or Least Concern (n = 795). Excluding those in DD, NA or RE, 19% (n = 191) of bryophyte species in Britain are threatened with extinction (i.e. are in CR, EN or VU). Of the 59 species in the highest extinction risk category (CR), it is possible that 20 (34%) are already extinct. Of the 143 species included in the previous assessment in a threatened category (CR, EN or VU), 85 (69%) have been transferred to a new category, mainly because of new information on the status of the species.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":"44 1","pages":"271 - 389"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44269465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods We compared bryophyte distribution data for 1980–1999 and 2000–2019. Species traits data were analysed to detect general trends in changes in occupancy for different species of moss and liverwort. Key results Species occupancy increased for epiphytic species of both mosses and liverworts. Liverwort species growing on dead, decorticated wood declined, whereas the number of mosses growing on this substrate increased. Liverworts decreased in all terrestrial habitats except artificial stones and other rocky substrates. Occupancy increased for mosses growing on peat substrates and on hard natural rocks. Changes in occupancy among groups of taxa classified according to Ellenberg values showed that liverworts of wet or moist habitats declined compared with those of dry habitats. Liverworts of warmer regions increased; however, for those characteristic of cold climates, there was no significant change. Conclusions Improvements in air quality, particularly due to reduced SO2 and NOx emissions, has allowed epiphytic bryophyte species numbers to recover. Among terrestrial species, there has been a decline in the number of liverwort species especially, and particularly those adapted to wet, cold conditions. This is probably due to longer and more frequent drought periods during summer, coupled with rising ambient temperatures. Larger, more robust wetlands and forests could be created to mitigate against this decline, these habitats being very fragmented in Flanders.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":"44 1","pages":"199 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59744293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge of the sporophyte maturation cycle is also incomplete and based on glasshouse plants. Methods We followed sporophyte development in wild populations of Funaria, recording fresh weights of every phenophase. Rates of water loss under laboratory conditions from sporophytes of different ages were recorded, and the ontogeny of the intercellular spaces and the maturational deposition of extra wall materials and waxes were investigated by cryo-SEM. Key results The sporophyte maturation cycle in wild Funaria lasted from December until July (> 200 days), nearly three times that recorded in glasshouses. Fresh weights of green capsules increased until after sporogenesis. Mature brown capsules were highly dehydrated. Prevailing weather conditions or addition of water had no effect on weights. Low rates of water loss, comparable with those from vascular plant leaves, decreased throughout sporophyte maturation under laboratory conditions. These data indicate that Funaria sporophytes mirror homoiohydric vascular plants. Deposition of additional wall materials around the stomatal apertures prevents closure soon after their opening towards the end of post-meiosis capsule expansion. Conclusions With phenophases similar to those of perennial species, Funaria may not be as much a fugitive species as previously assumed. The very brief window in nascent stomata ontogeny when reversible aperture changes might be possible indicates that the likely principal role of Funaria stomata is facilitation of capsule dehydration and not active regulation of gaseous exchange.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":"44 1","pages":"187 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41378151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
