Briófitos epífitos en San Cristóbal de La Laguna

Researchers identified 17 species of epiphytic bryophytes (3 liverworts and 14 mosses) on 28% of trees surveyed across urban areas in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, including plazas and parks. This study highlights the diversity and distribution of bryophytes in urban environments, providing insights into their ecological adaptations and the host plants that support them. The findings contribute to understanding bryophyte biodiversity in urban settings, which is crucial for conservation efforts in World Heritage Sites like San Cristóbal de La Laguna.
