Bryophytes, which are important constituents of ecosystems globally
and often dominate carbon and water dynamics at high latitudes and
elevations, were also among the pioneers of terrestrial
photosynthesis. Consequently, in addition to their present day
ecological value, modern representatives of these groups contain
the legacy of adaptations that led to the greening of Earth. This
volume brings together experts on bryophyte photosynthesis whose
research spans the genome and cell through whole plant and
ecosystem function and combines that with historical perspectives
on the role of algal, bryophyte and vascular plant ancestors on
terrestrialization of the Earth. The eighteen well-illustrated
chapters reveal unique physiological approaches to achieving carbon
balance and dealing with environmental limitations and stresses
that present an alternative, yet successful strategy for land
plants.
