Physiological responses of bryophytes Thuidium tamariscinum and Hylocomium splendens to increased nitrogen deposition.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Increased levels of nitrogen (N) deposition lead to enhanced N contents and reduced productivity of many bryophyte species. This study aimed at elucidating the mechanisms by which enhanced N uptake may cause growth reduction of bryophytes, focusing on the effects of N addition on carbon (C) metabolism of bryophytes. METHODS Plantlets of Thuidium tamariscinum and Hylocomium...
متن کاملA New Biflavone and Further Flavonoids from the Moss Hylocomium splendens
Whereas many reports now exist on flavonoids of liverworts only few publications are concerned with the flavonoid pattern of mosses [1—5]. The detection of an apigenin 7-O-rhamnoglucoside from H yloco mium splendens was reported [6]. Screening chroma tograms of samples of H. splendens collected at about 20 different localities showed however a much richer flavonoid pattern as supposed previou...
متن کاملThe Sensitivity of Moss-Associated Nitrogen Fixation towards Repeated Nitrogen Input
Nitrogen (N2) fixation is a major source of available N in ecosystems that receive low amounts of atmospheric N deposition. In boreal forest and subarctic tundra, the feather moss Hylocomium splendens is colonized by N2 fixing cyanobacteria that could contribute fundamentally to increase the N pool in these ecosystems. However, N2 fixation in mosses is inhibited by N input. Although this has be...
متن کاملTestate amoebae (Protista) communities in Hylocomium splendens (Hedw.) B.S.G. (Bryophyta): relationships with altitude, and moss elemental chemistry.
We studied the testate amoebae in the moss Hylocomium splendens along an altitudinal gradient from 1000 to 2200 m asl. in the south-eastern Alps of Italy in relation to micro- and macro-nutrient content of moss plants. Three mountainous areas were chosen, two of them characterised by calcareous bedrock, the third by siliceous bedrock. A total of 25 testate amoebae taxa were recorded, with a mea...
