0 a small plant without flowers that produces spores. There are many species (= types) of liverwort, some of which are similar to mosses.
Many of the smaller liverworts grew over or through the sward of larger bryophytes rather than adhering to the bark.
However, liverwort diversity was scarcely lower in the fallows, except in the very young (4 y old) ones.
The meandering facies generally have greater abundance of liverworts and ferns (that is, moisture loving forms).
Our results are, however, consistent with the notion that mosses and liverworts strongly facilitate the establishment of seedlings of vascular epiphytes.
Many encyclopedic interests could be carried on in this way: growing ferns, mosses, or liverworts, for example.
Non-vascular species were recorded within 95 sample plots and totalled 2 2 mosses, 66 liverworts and 4 6 macrolichens.
The bryophyte flora is richer, comprising 134 moss or liverwort species.
The associated floristic differences include an increase in cover of mosses and crustose lichens in the upper ridge and a decrease in liverwort cover.
