Bryophytes were a pivotal step in land plant evolution, and their
significance in the regulation of ecosystems and the conservation of
biodiversity is becoming increasingly acknowledged. This introductory textbook
assumes no prior knowledge of bryophyte biology, making it ideal for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students, as well as amateur botanists. The authors
expertly summarise the diversity of bryophytes and outline recent advances in
our understanding of their evolutionary history, their ecological roles and
preferences, their distribution patterns and conservation needs. The text is
highly illustrated throughout, with boxed summaries of topics of current
relevance in bryophyte biology, and a glossary of technical terms.
