  • Mosses of Pakistan
    J Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 93: 273- 291 (Jan. 2003) MOSSES OF PAKISTAN 1 2 MASANOBU HIGUCHI AND NAOKl NISHIMURA ABSTRACT. The mosses of Pakistan are enumerated by the literature published up to 2001. The moss flora of Pakistan comprises 339 taxa in 124 genera and 33 families. The southern and southwestern Pakistan (Sindh and Balochistan) has not been bryologically well explored. The mosses of Pakistan are largely circumboreal, although the Eurasian element is also prominent. It has 43 endemic taxa (ca. 13%) and a rich representation of the family Pottiaceae including 23 genera and 63 species. The floristic relationships of mosses between Pakistan and the neighboring areas are discussed. KEy WORDs: mosses, distribution, Pakistan, East India, Afghanistan INTRODUCTION Pakistan stretches from the Arabian Sea in the West to the high mountains of central Asia, and geographically falls into three main regions: (I) northern mountainous region, (2) Balochistan plateau region, and (3) Punjab and Sindh plain region. The average rainfall varies from less than 75 mm a year to 1650 mm and, beginning at sea level, the country rises to 7063 m at K-2 in the Karakorum Mts. (Stewart 1982). Pakistan is divided into four provinces: Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, and the North-West Frontier Province (usually re­ ferred to as N. W F. P.) (Fig. 1). There are two other regions, Baltistan (or the Northern Areas) and Azad Kashmir. The moss flora of Pakistan is still insufficiently known. Early bryological researches of Pakistan were made by Brotherus (1898a, b), Dixon (1926,1929) and Herzog (1938). In the 1950's, some local floras were published by Stoermer (1954), Bartram (1955) and Noguchi (1956, 1959, 1964).

ISBN 978-82-471-2333-1 (electronic ver.) ISSN 1503-8181 Doctoral theses at NTNU, 2010:179 Printed by NTNU-trykk Synopsis PREFACE It was the spring of 2005, and it was the right time to move onwards. A position as a research fellow working with long-term time series at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) was announced, and a PhD-project was developed with the studies of former haymaking lands at Sølendet and Tågdalen nature reserves as a starting point. Work began in earnest in January 2006, and continued at an ever increasing pace until July 2010, when all the parts of the thesis were finally completed and assembled. The study was financed by NTNU, and was carried out at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology and the Institute of Biology, both NTNU. I am deeply grateful to my main supervisor Professor Asbjørn Moen at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, and my co-supervisor Associate Professor Bård Pedersen at the Institute of Biology. This project rests on the long-term studies of rich hayfens that were initiated by Asbjørn 40 years ago, and that are still ongoing, much due to his continuous effort.

The thesis shows that ethnic activists, experts and offi cials were instrumental in the establishment of multiculturalism in Sweden, as they also were in two other early adopters of multiculturalism, Canada and Australia. The breakthrough of multiculturalism, such as it was within the limits of the social democratic welfare-state, was facilitated by who the advocates were, for whom they made their claims, the way the idea of multiculturalism was conceptualised and legitimised as well as the migratory context. 9 789521 231339 ISBN 978-952-12-3133-9 Mats Wikstrom B5 Kansi s16 Inver260 9 December 2014 2:21 PM THE MULTICULTURAL MOMENT © Mats Wickström 2015 Cover picture by Mats Wickström & Frey Wickström Author’s address: History Dept. of Åbo Akademi

F. Kuprevich Institute of Experimental Botany, Belarusian National Academy of Sciences, Academic 27, Minsk, 220072, Republic of Belarus, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The detailed research of bryophyte flora, carried out in 2008-2011 on fortifications from the times of the First World War and Second World War in Grodno district, resulted in recording 101 species, of which 95 species were true mosses (Bryophyta) and 6 species were hepatics (Marchantiophyta). Because the substratum displayed certain ecological similarity with carbonate rocks, we made comparative analysis of the species list. The total of 28 rare and very rare (in Belarus scale) bryophyte species were recorded, of which 3 species were included in the Red Data Book of Belarus; 3 species had a conser- vation status at the European level. Key words: bryophyte flora, concrete fortifications, carbonate rocks, comparative analysis 1. Introduction These constructions occur more often in the western part of the country. Older fortifications, built before the First In general, within a region, bryophyte floras retain World War (WWI), were the most interesting to us, in more ancient features than vascular floras.
