Meanings of bryophytes in English

Even with lichens removed, bryophytes is a busy realm, with over ten thousand species contained within some seven hundred genera.

These results suggest that chitin-triggered calcium oscillations are conserved and were likely present in the common ancestor of bryophytes and vascular plants.

Bryophytes also promote soil C accumulation by thermally insulating soils, and changes in their biomass influence soil C dynamics.

Bryophytes are very generally distributed over the earth, and those of a single country, such as Britain, afford examples of all the chief natural groups.
