Response of bryophytes to global change and its bioindicatortation

Abstract

Abstract: Bryophytes are sensitive to atmosphere components concentration and global climate change resulted from relatively simple structures. Bryophyte is an ideal kind of biological indicator of global changes, environmental pollution, nutrient condition, forest integrity and ecosystem health. In order to use bryophytes as indicators to environmental and global changes, further studies on response and adaptation of bryophytes to the global changes are needed.

Key words: Biological indicator, Bryophytes, Global change, Environmental pollution, Forest intergrity
