Bryophytes, which are important constituents of ecosystems globally and often dominate carbon and water dynamics at high latitudes and elevations, were also among the pioneers of terrestrial photosynthesis. Consequently, in addition to their present day ecological value, modern representatives of these groups contain the legacy of adaptations that led to the greening of Earth. This volume brings together experts on bryophyte photosynthesis whose research spans the genome and cell through whole plant and ecosystem function and combines that with historical perspectives on the role of algal, bryophyte and vascular plant ancestors on terrestrialization of the Earth. The ... Read more

Reviews for Photosynthesis in Bryophytes and Early Land Plants
“I recommend this book for researchers in the field of not only bryology but also the evolutionary history of land plants, photosynthesis in non-seed plants, and adaptations to living in extreme environments. Additionally, I recommend this book to libraries at Universities with advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Plant Biology (Botany), Plant Sciences, General Biology, and Biotechnology. For many of ... Read more
