Bryology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bryology (from Greek : βρύον (brüon) "moss, sea moss" and logic ) is the science of mosses .

For the first time one dealt scientifically with the moss in the 18th century. The German botanist Johann Jacob Dillen (Dillenius) (1687–1747) became a professor at Oxford University and in 1717 published the work Reproduction of Farrenkräuter ( Ferns ) and Mosses . The work of Johannes Hedwig , who clarified reproduction ( Fundamentum historiae naturalis muscorum, 1792) and determined the systematics of mosses, can be seen as the beginning of bryology .

Research areas include the taxonomy of mosses, bioindications , DNA sequencing and the interactions of mosses with other plants and animals.
