Mosses are a dominant ground cover in a wide array of ecosystems, especially in those developing under cold-stressed environments such as arctic and alpine ice-melting glacial forelands. Consequently, mosses may influence ...

Premise of research. Today, mosses are the second most speciose lineage of land plants and are important components of many ecosystems. However, in spite of their diversity and ecological importance in the modern biota, ...

The Cerro Negro Formation is a non-marine succession that outcrops in Byers Peninsula (livingston Island) and Williams Point (Snow Island). Both islands belong to the South Shetland Islands Archipelago, Antarctica. 40Ar/39Ar ...

Schistidium Bruch & Schimper (in Bruch et al. 1845: 93) is one of the most complex and difficult moss genera, and is still poorly known and understudied taxonomically in South America. In the Neotropics, there are around ...

The electrodeposition of nanostructured semiconductors with tunable properties is of vital importance to develop optoelectronic devices. In this work, we introduce a novel synthesis protocol involving a multiple pulse ...

We analysed the epiphytic stomatocyst flora (Chrysophyceae and Synurophyceae) of wet mosses from Antarctica by electron microscopy. Sixteen of the eighteen morphotypes studied are new to science. The cyst of Paraphysomonas ...

The Rio Santiago in the Cordillera Negra of Peru is severely contaminated by acid mine drainage in its headwaters. In a strongly acid stream, at about 3800 m above sea level (masl), microterraces were found with terrace ...
