What is the impotance of Bryophytes in the ecosystem?
Bryophytes play a significant role in contributing to
nutrient cycles and they also form a major component of
canopy humus.
Changes in epiphytic bryophyte assemblages affect other
canopy dwelling biota such as vascular epiphytes,
invertebrates and especially foraging birds.
Further, bryophytes are very effective rainfall
interceptors and the overwhelming abundance of epiphytic
Liverworts in"cloud" or "mossy" forest zones is considered
an important factor in eliminating the deteriorating effect
of heavy rains including helping to prevent soil erosion
and adding to hill stability.
Because of the close association of bryophytes with
climatically sensitive habitats and ecosystems, they may
serve as potential indicators of large-scale changes to the
ecosystem before the habitat or ecosystem itself is
effected.
