Comparative Analysis of Lipids in Funaria hygrometrica Hdew from Different Habitats

摘要

INTRODUCTION Bryophytes occur in most terrestrial and freshwater environments. They are effective monitors of the environmental change as they take up nutrients and pollutants directly from the atmosphere due to the lack of the root system (Holoubek et al., 2000). For instance, Sphagnum species (aquatic bryophyte) in the peat bog can sensitively respond to the climate change and therefore the paleoenvironmental proxies based on their lipids have been proposed (Xie et al., 2003).
