Towards a moss sclerophylly continuum: Evolutionary history, water chemistry and climate control traits of hygrophytic mosses

Abstract: Mosses are amongst the oldest and simplest plants, they can be found almost everywhere in the world, and they condition the structure and function of many ecosystems. Their sensitivity to environmental changes makes them very interesting subjects of study in ecology, and understanding them can provide insights into the evolutionary history of plants. However, the study of moss traits and their relationship with their environment is far behind that of vascular plants. We sampled 303 assemblages of aquatic and s… Show more

“…We collected 253 bryophyte samples from 35 aquatic and semi‐aquatic species (hygrophytic bryophytes [Dierssen, 2001], 29 mosses and six liverworts, Table S1) from 164 springs distributed across Catalonia (north‐eastern Iberian Peninsula, Figure S1) along a large gradient of hydrochemical and climatic conditions (Fernández‐Martínez, Berloso et al., 2019). Our study area has a Mediterranean climate, ranging from humid to sub‐humid, but with large differences in mean annual temperature (from 4.2 to 15.7°C) and mean annual precipitation (from 567.4 to 1,202.4 mm/year).…”

“…All springs surveyed continuously drained untreated water from aquifers, so the chemical features of the water were constant within a spring over time (Ehrlén et al, 2000; Fernández‐Martínez, Margalef et al., 2019). The bryophytes were in constant contact with water (e.g.…”
