Archegonium – The female bottle-shaped reproductive organ with a long neck with a canal which lead down to the venter where the eggcell is situ- ated. Bryophytes – A generic term for the polyphyletic group consisting of mosses, liverworts and hornworts Deposition (syn. landing) – The final stage of dispersal where the diaspores come to rest Diaspore (syn. propagule) – A dispersal unit that could be a seed, spore, gemmae or even a fragment (as bryophytes can regenerate from any part of the gametophyte). Dispersal – Transportation of diaspores away from the plant of origin (See introduction) Impaction – A deposition process when a diaspore continues its path to- wards an object instead of following the air stream around it Interception – A deposition process when a diaspore travels so near an ob- ject that it touches it Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model – A model that simulates a large number of trajectories of a single diaspore taking into account the variation in wind components. Liming – A practice to spread calcium compounds (to increase the pH) Release (syn. abscission, take-off) – The process when the diaspores leave the place of origin, in the case of bryophyte spores the capsule. Sedimentation – A deposition process when a diaspore is deposited due to gravity Settling velocity/speed (syn. falling/fall velocity/speed, terminal veloc- ity/speed) – A measure of how fast a diaspore falls. It is defined as the dias- pore speed when the drag force (upwards) and the force by gravity (down- wards) are equal and the particle will not increase its speed. Vector (syn. agent) – A carrier of diaspores, e.g. wind, water and animals -chory – a suffix used to describe different types of dispersal, for example wind dispersal would be anemochory -phily – a suffix used to describe different types of pollen dispersal, but could also be used to describe spore dispersal, wind dispersal would be an- emophily 0:6 Doctoral dissertation Abstract Niklas Lönnell Department of Ecology, Envi- ronment and Plant Sciences Stockholm University Lilla Frescati SE-106 91 Stockholm Sweden Dispersal, especially long-distance dispersal, is an important compo- nent in many disciplines within biology. Many species are passively dispersed by wind, not least spore-dispersed organisms. In this thesis I investigated the dispersal capacity of bryophytes by studying the colonization patterns from local scales (100 m) to land- scape scales (20 km). The dispersal distances were measured from a known source (up to 600 m away) or inferred from a connectivity measure (1–20 km). I introduced acidic clay to measure the coloniza- tion rates over one season of a pioneer moss, Discelium nudum (I–III). I also investigated which vascular plants and bryophytes that had colonized limed mires approximately 20–30 years after the first dis- turbance (IV). Discelium effectively colonized new disturbed substrates over one season. Most spores were deposited up to 50 meters from a source but the relationship between local colonization rates and connectivity in- creased with distance up to 20 km (I–III). Also calcicolous wetland bryophyte species were good colonizers over similar distances, while vascular plants in the same environment colonized less frequently. Common bryophytes that produce spores frequently were more effec- tive colonizers, while no effect of spore size was detected (IV). A mechanistic model that take into account meteorological parameters to simulate the trajectories for spores of Discelium nudum fitted rather well to the observed colonization pattern, especially if spore release thresholds in wind variation and humidity were accounted for (III). This thesis conclude that bryophytes in open habitats can disperse effectively across landscapes given that the regional spore source is large enough (i.e. are common in the region and produce spores abun- dantly). For spore-dispersed organisms in open landscapes I suggest that it is often the colonization phase and not the transport that is the main bottle-neck for maintaining populations across landscapes.

Manuscript 0:9 Introduction Dispersal Dispersal in a biological context can be defined as "intergenerational movement" or "movement leading to gene flow" or "movement of individuals to new locations away from their parents" and as it is im- portant component in many different both theoretical and applied dis- ciplines it has rendered an increasing attention during the last decades (Bullock, Kenward & Hails 2002; Cousens, Dytham & Law 2008; Clobert et al. 2012). Dispersal can be active, where the individual animal itself can decide on the direction, length and final goal of the dispersal event, or pas- sive,where the individual or dispersal unit (diaspore) is transported by some other vector e.g. animals (zoochory), water (hydrochory) or wind (anemochory) (Pijl 1982). Many fields of ecology and conserva- tion biology are dominated by research concerning animals, which is reflected in the high number of studies that have been devoted to ac- tive dispersal and animal-mediated pollination and dispersal. A ten- dancy for such a bias towards viewing dispersal from an animal per- spective could be detected in the conceptual framework of movement of an individual, where four mechanistic components that influences a movement path are distinguished: internal state (why move?), motion capacity (how to move?), navigation capacity (when and where to move?) and external factors (Nathan et al. 2008a). Consequently, an attempt to apply it on a wind-dispersed fungi encountered some chal- lenges: for example to distinguish between navigation and motion capacity is not unambiguous and the internal state of both the mother plant and the diaspores could be affected independently by external factors (Norros

Brid. make it difficult to study. However, in Europe, there has been increasing interest in this species in the past few years, mostly as a result of the implementation of the Natura 2000 network. In Poland, B. viridis has only been reported in isolated studies that have been limited in terms of area and the number of participating workers. One of the Polish regions where B. viridis was recently recorded is the Bieszczady Mountains, but there have been no large-scale surveys of that region to date. The objective of the current work was to describe the B. viridis population in the Bieszczady Mountains in terms of its spatial distribution and abundance, investigate its selected microhabitat preferences, and evaluate the conservation status of this moss species within the Natura 2000 site Bieszczady PLC180001. The studied region encompassed 93,490.44 ha, including 69,056.23 ha of managed forests and 24,434.21 ha of forests belonging to the Bieszczady National Park.

Slez. Muz. Opava (A), 60:85-89, 2011. Abstract: A rare epixylous moss, Buxbaumia viridis (Moug. ex Lam. & DC.) Brid. ex Moug. & Nestl., was searched at historical localities in the Kłodzko region, especially in Bialskie and Bystrzyckie Mts. The species was rediscovered at two localities in the upper part of the valley of Jedlnik stream on the east slope of Iwinka Mt. in Puszcza Śnieżnej Białki Nature Reserve. This paper presents data on autecology of B. viridis at one of the rediscovered localities as well as shows its current distribution in the Kłodzko region. Key words: Bryophyta, Buxbaumia viridis, threatened species, protected species, distribution, Puszcza Śnieżnej Białki Nature Reserve, Śnieżnicki Landscape Park, Bialskie Mts., Sudety Mts., Poland Introduction Buxbaumia viridis is one of two species in the genus known from Europe (Hill et al. 2006) and Poland (Ochyra & al. 2003). It is a boreal-montane moss which prefers primeval forests with coniferous wood on which it grows. The species is legally protected in Europe (Annex I of the Bern Convention; Annex II of the “Habitats-Fauna-Flora” directive) and is placed on the European Red-list for bryophytes (Schumacher & Martiny 1995). It has been placed in the group of endangered species (E category) of the Red List of Polish mosses (Żarnowiec &al.

  • Buxbaumia Viridis (DC.) Moung
    Buxbaumia viridis (DC.) Moung. & Nestl. Status: State Working List Rank: G3G4SU General Description: Buxbaumia viridis is a small annual bryophyte that develops a sporophyte from an ephemeral protonema (Crum and Ander- son 1981). Because the gametophytic generation is very reduced and not persistent the only visible structure is the sporophyte. The seta is 5-8 mm long with a slightly swollen base. The capsule is 5-6 mm by 2.3-3 mm in size, flattened on the dorsal side and rounded on the ventral, not glossy, green when young and yellowish-brown to brown when mature. In mature capsules, the cuticle on the upper surface splits down the length of the urn and peels back along the margins. Identification Tips: Because this species lacks a perennially gameto- phyte generation, mature sporophytes must be present for identification. Young sporophytes are green, becoming yellowish-brown to brown, and the peristome teeth are visible. The primary feature used to separate Buxbaumia viridis from B. piperi is the cuticle on the upper surface of the capsule. In B. piperi, the cuticle peels back around the “mouth” of the capsule, while in B. viridis the cuticle tears the full length of the capsule and peels back along the margins of the urn. Buxbaumia aphylla, also a rare species, has a smaller, flattened disc-shaped, chestnut red capsule that has the cuticle peeling back around the “mouth” of the capsule. Range: Buxbaumia viridis is a Western North America - Western European disjunct species and is known in Washington from Clallam, Chelan, Cowlitz, Klickitat, Lewis, Okanogan, Pierce, Skamania, Snohomish, Whatcom and Yakima counties.

  • The Moss Buxbaumia Viridis (Bryopsida, Buxbaumiaceae) in the Czech Part of the Western Carpathians – Distribution and Ecology
    THE MOSS BUXBAUMIA VIRIDIS (BRYOPSIDA, BUXBAUMIACEAE) IN THE CZECH PART OF THE WESTERN CARPATHIANS – DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY VÍTĚZSLAV PLÁŠEK University of Ostrava, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology and Ecology, Chittussiho 10, CZ-710 00 Ostrava, Czech Republic and Silesian Museum in Opava, Department of Botany, Tyršova 1, CZ-746 46 Opava, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The epixylous moss Buxbaumia viridis (Moug. ex Lam. & DC.) Brid. ex Moug. & Nestl. is considered an endangered or vulnerable species in all countries in the Central Europe. In the Czech part of the Western Carpathians the species was recorded very occasionally in the twentieth century. In 1998 detailed fi eld monitoring of the species together with verifi cation of its occurrence on historically known localities were started. As a result, a number of new localities of B. viridis have been discovered in this region. Very little is known about the ecology and population biology of the species. This article provides some new data regarding the autecology and population-bi- ology of B. viridis based upon studies of its Western Carpathian populations. Key words. Bryophyta, Buxbaumia viridis, Western Carpathians, endangered species, ecology, population-biology INTRODUCTION Buxbaumia viridis (Moug. ex Lam. & DC.) Brid. ex Moug. & Nestl. is a highly specialized and atypical moss with highly reduced leaves arising from a protonemal mat and having a large distinctive capsule (Fig. 1). The species is very specifi c in its habitat requirements being restricted to decaying wood in wet, shaded places in woodland. It is widespread in the Western Carpathians, but is apparently declining, rare and threatened in most countries of Central Europe, and is listed as endangered or vulnerable (e.g., Ochyra 1992; Jędrzejko 1997; Kubinská et al.

  • Guide to Common Macrolichens and Bryophytes of the Umatilla National
    United States Department of Agriculture Guide to Common Forest Macrolichens and Service Umatilla Bryophytes of the National Forest 2006 Umatilla National Forest Alison M. Kelly 1 IMPORTANT NOTES This guide is based on an initial survey of the bryophytes and macrolichens of the Umatilla National Forest. It should be considered a STARTING POINT—common taxa are represented, but this is not a complete inventory. It is hoped that this guide will aid in the identification of some common macrolichens and bryophytes of the Umatilla, and in awareness of a few sensitive taxa. Determinations should always be compared with herbarium material and full descriptions. This book has two main sections, macrolichens and bryophytes. Keys to the genera of the lichens are presented first and are followed by keys to species and then pictures and short descrip- tions of the taxa. In the second section, there is a key to the bryophyte species, followed again by the pictures and descriptions. Keys and descrip- tions of the taxa are based on the references listed, and sensitive taxa are noted as such. A checklist of the mosses known to occur on the Forest is presented at the end, along with an index to taxa. Where look-alike taxa are mentioned, they are known, suspected, or potentially found in eastern Oregon. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS-- Thanks to the Umatilla National Forest, Scott Riley and Jean Wood for supporting this update. The Herbarium at the University of Washington was extremely helpful in providing specimens. Judy Harpel, Wilf Schofield, and Martin Hutton provided important contributions. This guide is dedicated to the late Stuart Markow - his constant curiosity, excellent contributions, and joy for all plants remain an inspiration.
