Forestry tracks



Charles asked for a rundown of the bryophytes I have found on forestry tracks in Carmarthenshire.  The following is an update of the table we included in Mosses and Liverworts of Carmarthenshire; there's a similar one in my Pembs Flora too.  It comprises 1006 records of 122 taxa recorded by me (rather than any other Carms bryologists) on forestry tracks (as opposed to banks or ditches by those tracks).  Clearly these are not rigorously scientific records, although I have been pretty consistent in noting habitat - the greater number of records of Campylopus subulatus than Calliergonella cuspidata reflects its perceived rarity and therefore a greater number of one-off records (perhaps I should filter them by tetrad/monad).  Anyway, they give a general impression of the richness of this habitat!!

  1. Campylopus subulatus stands out as a species I've possibly been overlooking. Your list really highlights how diverse this extensive habitat really is.
