A low rate of establishment in brown mosses is generally observed following large-scale restoration of fens. As brown mosses are important components in peat accumulation in fens, their low recovery rate has been a concern in the past decade. It was suggested that the restoration method used for bogs, the Moss Layer Transfer Technique (MLTT) should be adapted for fen restoration by identifying factors limiting the establishment and recovery of brown mosses. In this study, we evaluated the regeneration potential of four common brown mosses, Aulacomnium palustre, Campylium stellatum, Scorpidium cossonii and Tomentypnum nitens, according to three factors that can have an impact during restoration: 1) distance of the fragment below the moss apex, 2) mechanical fragmentation of mosses, and 3) enhanced nutrient availability, and this, in growth chambers (within Petri dishes) and field experiments. Under controlled conditions, similar results were obtained for all four brown mosses studied: the severe fragmentation of mosses most drastically improved their regeneration potential. Phosphate fertilization, even at the lowest dose, increased moss regeneration, and brown mosses showed higher recovery in the first 3 cm below the apex. Liming only improved the regeneration of C. stellatum. However, unclear, and even contradicting results were obtained when treatments were applied in the field, where an overall very low establishment of brown mosses was observed in response to the rather prevailing adverse environmental conditions (e.g., erosion, frost heaving, low water table level). The direct application of some of our results into an adapted version of MLTT might be challenging, as it may require a certain level of meticulosity that large-scale mechanical fen restoration cannot provide.","PeriodicalId":55319,"journal":{"name":"Bryologist","volume":"125 1","pages":"23 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44439250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A review of ∼290 research articles on bryophyte desiccation tolerance (DT) over the last century reveals four prominent methods that incorporate equilibrium drying. We compare these methods (called Conventional, Wetted substrate, Step-down and Partial drying) in terms of inducing the trait DT in four species of mosses occupying distinctly different evolutionary clades and known to exhibit an inducible strategy of DT (Phascum cuspidatum, Funaria hygrometrica, Bryum argenteum and Syntrichia obtusissima). Conventional=plants placed directly at 33% RH; Wetted substrate=plants dried at different rates (times) to 33% RH by wetting the substrate; Step-down=plants dried to equilibration in sequence from 100, 75, 54, then 33% RH; Partial drying=plants exposed to 100% RH prior to placement at 33% RH. Efficacy of each method was evaluated using postrehydration damage and recovery as assessed from chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf or tissue damage 7 days postrehydration. For each chlorophyll fluorescence measure, there was a significant three-way interaction between species, drying method and time. Three of the four methods produced good recovery after 24 h of rehydration, with the plants subjected to the Conventional method not recovering from desiccation. Photosynthetic damage immediately upon rehydration was reduced for the Partial dry method and similar for the Step-down and Wetted substrate methods. Tissue damage 7 d postrehydration was equivalent for the Wetted substrate, Step-down and Partial dry methods, and most plants died following the Conventional method of drying. Recovery following 24 h of rehydration was near control levels for all methods but the Conventional. Species differences were considerable among drying methods. The Subturgor Hypothesis is advanced to explain degree of induction of desiccation tolerance, and was generally supported, with the caveat that, among the three most successful methods tested, the Step-down method performed better than expected based upon time at subturgor.","PeriodicalId":55319,"journal":{"name":"Bryologist","volume":"125 1","pages":"1 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45382766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few data are available about cuticular wax of mosses, in general, as well as for Polytrichaceae. In addition, most of these studies investigated only the gametophyte. To improve understanding of wax components and their ecological roles, we compared the morphology and the chemical composition of cuticular waxes of the gametophyte and the sporophyte of the Brazilian species Pogonatum pensilvanicum, Polytrichadelphus pseudopolytrichum (endemic), and Polytrichum juniperinum. The waxes were extracted with dichloromethane, derivatized and analyzed using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The total wax content was expressed in µg cm–2 and the compounds were identified based on mass fragmentation patterns. The morphology of epicuticular waxes was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Thicker wax layers were observed over the leafy gametophyte and the calyptra, ranging from 0.2 to 0.3 µg cm–2. For the sporophyte, the wax layer was not homogeneous, ranging from 0.01 to 0.04 µg cm–2 over the seta and from 0.07 to 0.2 µg cm–2 over the capsule. While alkanes and fatty acids were found in the two generations, primary alcohols were detected only in the leaves, and aldehydes and esters were found only in the sporophyte. Nonacosan-10-ol was more abundant in the calyptra and capsule. Film waxes were predominant in the gametophyte and sporophyte. Qualitative and quantitative differences were detected in wax composition according to life phases. As far as we know, this is the first time that the sporophyte parts were investigated separately. We hypothesized that the higher wax content in the calyptra may contribute to the protection of the capsule; however, this idea needs to be confirmed. Besides, our data support previous statements that the biosynthetic machinery for wax components was present in the earliest land plants, protecting both the gametophyte and the sporophyte.","PeriodicalId":55319,"journal":{"name":"Bryologist","volume":"124 1","pages":"590 - 599"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45681861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has long had a reputation for difficulty in species identification, especially in the large and complex genus Ptychostomum. The Bryaceae are distributed worldwide and are well represented in most habitats other than dense forests and the lowland tropics. They often represent up to 10% of the diversity in local and regional floras, and thus cannot easily be avoided in floristic and biodiversity studies despite serious identification issues. It is always a good thing to have a new comprehensive treatment of the family, as there are so few available for most parts of the world. This new book on the Bryaceae by David T. Holyoak treats the family in the western Palearctic, essentially Europe west of the Russian Federation, and including Macaronesia. The eastern limits of the flora treatment include portions of Ukraine, Belorussia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. To the southeast, portions of Turkey are also included. Occurrences from adjacent areas are also included. The hardback book is attractively produced, with a nice cover photo of Ptychostomum pallens in all its pink glory. It is organized into several sections, including the introductory material, several sets of dichotomous keys as well as a multi-access key, species accounts, several appendices, a glossary and an index to all names including full lists of synonyms. I have used the book extensively while preparing this review and it has held up well to repeated use. The text is quite clean, with very few typos. The introductory material includes a short section on classification, including the usual negative comments on my morphologically based classification used in the Bryophyte Flora of North America (Spence 2014). These comments seem to be obligatory as they are repeated in most recent papers on the family by European authors. There is some validity to them, but also significant confusion and misunderstanding of my work. However, this is not the place to discuss these issues; I will present them elsewhere. The introductory sections also include notes on the arrangement and treatment of species, a useful section on characters and hints for identification purposes, and several keys. In all, 69 species are treated in five genera: Anomobryum, Bryum, Imbribryum, Ptychostomum and Rhodobryum. Well-written and clear identification keys are critical to species identification in the family. Holyoak includes a general key that leads to six additional keys, including one to species with mature sporophytes, three keys for species with rhizoidal tubers, leaf axil bulbils, and filamentous gemmae, and a key for sterile collections lacking these structures. The sixth key is a multi-access one based on 10 characters in tabular form.
