Bryophytes are small, non-vascular, spore-bearing plants which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They are pioneers of barren surfaces such as rocks, tree trunks, and pavement, and play essential roles in nutrient cycling, soil formation, and water retention. An inventory of the bryophytes of New York City has never been published, but there are currently 85 species with Research Grade observations available on iNaturalist.
Your observations will help to further our understanding of the variety and abundance of bryophytes in our city!
