Description
Introduction to Bryology by W. B. Schofield is a comprehensive guide to the structure, evolution and interrelationships of bryophytes. This richly illustrated text provides a broad, international view of bryology, covering topics such as cytology, genetics, chemistry, ecology, physiology, geography and the history of the discipline. With detailed chapters on the morphology of mosses, liverworts and hornworts, this book offers definitive information on the biology of these organisms. The author's emphasis is on the biologic significance of bryophytes, using elegant original illustrations to showcase their structure, diversity and natural beauty.
