Abstract

The study aimed to identify the mosses and lichens in terms of species richness and composition; document their distribution across different habitats; assess the conservation status; and identify several conservation strategies affecting the floral species and recognize its ecological importance in the ecosystem. Samples were collected through transect walk along the established 2-hectare biodiversity monitoring plot. Each species was classified, identified and described according to its diagnostic characters using field lens and microscopy examinations. Findings of the study revealed an overall total of 136 nonvascular species of these, 65 mosses, belonging to 35 genera and 19 families. The lichens had 71 species belonging to ...  Read More read more link button
