This engaging illustrated guidebook reveals the fascinating mosses
and lichens that homeowners, outdoorspeople, and nature lovers
encounter every day in Ohio and the Midwest. In this guide to the
most common and distinctive moss, liverwort, and lichen species in
Ohio, readers will find concise physical descriptions, facts about
natural history and ecology, and tips to distinguish look-alike
species, all presented in a friendly, conversational tone.
Featuring detailed photographs of the plant and plantlike species
in their natural settings, the book covers 106 mosses, thirty
liverworts, and one hundred lichens and offers several avenues to
match a specimen to its description page. "Where They Grow"
chapters spotlight species commonly encountered on field outings,
and field keys to help readers quickly identify unfamiliar samples.
While designed primarily as an identification tool, this guide also
frames moss and lichen spotting in a scientific context. The two
main sections--bryophytes and lichens--detail their respective
taxonomic kingdoms, explain their life cycles and means of
reproduction, and illustrate variation in the traits used for
identification. The book is an introduction to the biology of these
intriguing but too-often-overlooked organisms and a means to enjoy,
identify, and catalog the biodiversity all around us.
