The conservation of lower plants in Britain and Ireland 1993

Abstract

The term 'lower plants' is used to describe a huge range of plant groups. Those included in this resource include bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), algae (except seaweed), fungi and lichen: in other words, plants that have neither flowers, nor a system of channels for conducting food and water.

This resource describes the importance of lower plants in Britain and the steps being taken to conserve them. A number of photographs are included.

Please note that this resource has been produced from a scan of an original document. You may therefore experience fluctuations in quality.
