The first documented record of Sphagnum riparium (Bryophyta: Sphagnaceae) from Spitsbergen
نویسنده
چکیده
Sphagnum riparium (Bryophyta) is recorded and described from the Wedel Jarlsberg Land on Spitsbergen, the Arctic Svalbard Archipelago. It is the northernmost known population of the species in the Northern Hemisphere. The distribution of the two known Sphagnum species in the Hornsund area, viz. S. riparium and S. squarrosum is mapped and described.

Newly resolved relationships in an early land plant lineage: Bryophyta class Sphagnopsida (peat mosses).
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY The Sphagnopsida, an early-diverging lineage of mosses (phylum Bryophyta), are morphologically and ecologically unique and have profound impacts on global climate. The Sphagnopsida are currently classified in two genera, Sphagnum (peat mosses) with some 350-500 species and Ambuchanania with one species. An analysis of phylogenetic relationships among species a...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic traits of Sphagnum and feather moss species in undrained, drained and rewetted boreal spruce swamp forests
In restored peatlands, recovery of carbon assimilation by peat-forming plants is a prerequisite for the recovery of ecosystem functioning. Restoration by rewetting may affect moss photosynthesis and respiration directly and/or through species successional turnover. To quantify the importance of the direct effects and the effects mediated by species change in boreal spruce swamp forests, we used...
متن کاملRe-evaluation of the Panicum capillare complex (Poaceae) in Croatia
The Panicum capillare complex includes several taxa, among them P. capillare L., which is usually considered to be an established alien throughout Europe, whereas other species are recorded only as casuals. A new representative of the complex, P. riparium H. Scholz was described from Germany in 2002, and shortly after its description was recorded in several countries on the continent. In the co...
متن کاملDifferential Hydrogen Isotopic Ratios of Sphagnum and Vascular Plant Biomarkers in Ombrotrophic Peatlands as a Quantitative Proxy for Precipitation-Evaporation Balance
We have developed a new approach to quantitatively reconstruct past changes in evaporation based on compound-specific hydrogen isotope ratios of vascular plant and Sphagnum biomarkers in ombrotrophic peatland sediments. We show that the contrast in H isotopic ratios of water available to living Sphagnum (top 20 cm) and in the rooting zone of peatland vascular plants can be used to estimate “f ”...

Premise of the study We developed chloroplast microsatellite markers (cpSSRs) to be used to study the patterns of genetic structure and genetic diversity of populations of Stizophyllum riparium (Bignonieae, Bignoniaceae). Methods and Results We used genomic data obtained through an Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform to develop a set of cpSSRs for S. riparium. A total of 36 primer pairs were d...
