Mosses (a section of bryophytes), are considered as an important group of non-flowering plants which a modern computer-assisted database system is not yet prepared for their determination and description key in Iran. Following a software package recently designed under a research project for assessment of moss diversity of Iran by the authors, the present paper is prepared to: I) introducing co...

The biosorption of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) ions onto dried Fontinalis antipyretica, a widely spread aquatic moss, was studied under different values of temperature, initial pH and water hardness. The equilibrium was well described by Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Maximum biosorption capacity of cadmium was independent on temperature and averaged 28.0 mg g(-1) moss, whereas for zinc, capacity ...

• Some treatments which were reported to control moss at other locations (Ferrous sulfate, Ultra Dawn, Subdue 2E mixtures) had no effect on moss populations in this trial. This may be due to the fact that all treatments were made using broadcast applications (2 4 gallons spray solution/1000 sq ft), rather than spot treatments. In a follow up trial investigating the use of Ultra Dawn applied as ...
