​Bryophytes: Ecology and Identification (HAU) – 28/03/2025

This 2.5 day intermediate course will introduce you to the wonderful world of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) that are present in every UK habitat. The ability to accurately identify them to species is essential for the field surveyor to be able to discriminate between similar vegetation communities within classifications such as UKHab and the National Vegetation Classification. Through this module bryophyte life cycles, structures, collection and identification methods will all be explored, alongside the utility of national recording schemes and voucher specimen collections.
