  • Preliminary estimation of bryophyte biomass and carbon pool from three contrasting different vegetation types
    Singh, Mahesh Kumar ...
    Bryophytes are the primary form of carbon storage in many ecosystems. There is growing consensus within the scientific community that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) enhancing the ... earth's natural greenhouse effect. Because of the potential effects of these gases on the global enery budget and future elimate, there is an urgent need to quantify terrestrial sources and sinks of carbon. There is more carbon stored in some bryophytes than in any other genus of vascular or non-vascular plants (Clymo & Hayward, 1982). Predicting how the vast stores of carbon in moss-dominated ecosystems will be affected by anthropogenic disturbance is critical for models of global climate change (Post et al., 1982). Bryophytes are a prominent feature of many forest and grassland types, where they can make an important contribution to carbon balance (Delucia, et al., 2003). Tropical montane rain forest, because of their complexity and variety of microhabitats, usually harbors a rich diversity of bryophytes. Even though they are often small and inconspicuous, especially in the lowland forest, they may play a significant role in the forest ecosystem (Frahm, 1994). Similarly, bryophytes in the temperate forest and grasslands are thought to be an important carbon sink (O'Neill, 2000). The objective of this research was to estimate components of the bryophyte biomass and approximate amount of carbon stored in it.
