The species descriptions provide information on frequency, ecology, geographical relationships and distribution, including information on protected species and those species at risk. For many species there are footnotes to aid identification. In addition to the species descriptions there are descriptions of families and genera and also introductory information on conservation, collection, preservation and examination of material, together with advice on using the keys. An artificial key to genera provides the only workable comprehensive key published in the English language. This second edition incorporates the very considerable advances in our knowledge of mosses made in the last quarter of the twentieth century and will provide a unique resource for all concerned with these fascinating organisms.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface to the first edition\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the second edition\u003cbr\u003e Second edition acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Conspectus of classification\u003cbr\u003e Artificial key to the genera of British and Irish mosses\u003cbr\u003e Sphagnopsida\u003cbr\u003e Andreaeopsida\u003cbr\u003e Polytrichopsida\u003cbr\u003e Bryopsida\u003cbr\u003e Geographical relationships of British and Irish mosses\u003cbr\u003e Red List of mosses\u003cbr\u003e British and Irish vice-counties\u003cbr\u003e English names for British and Irish mosses\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Botany%20\u0026amp;%20plant%20sciences%20%5BPST%5D%22\"\u003ePST\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001826922776,"sku":"9780521546720","price":112.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521546720i_d9cacdff-8c5d-4ee9-8d0b-5d6304abf81f.jpg?v=1691369471","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-moss-flora-of-britain-and-ireland-paperback-9780521546720","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
