BRYOPHYTES OF THE PICTURED ROCKS NATIONAL LAKESHORE, ALGER COUNTY, MICHIGAN, USA

摘要

Field sampling for the present study includes releves of shoreline, coniferous forest, hardwood forest, mixed hardwood/coniferous forest, wetlands, and disturbed areas within the Pictured Rocks National Shoreline. This study adds 90 taxa of mosses, bringing the published total to 138 taxa (species and varieties) of mosses, and 18 liverworts, bringing that total to 38. The representative bryophytes in different habitats are discussed. Buxbaumia aphylla was found in the park for the first time, although it is relatively common in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Nine other uncommon and rare taxa were added to the list of known species in the park: Anomodon minor, Calypogeja fissa (liverwort), Didymodon rigidulus, Herzogiella striatella, Hylocomium umbratum, Polytrichum pallidisetum, Rhabdoweisia crispata, Sphagnum wulfianum, and Tortula mucronifolia.
