Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exploration of the 151 species of mosses found in Kansas, revealing not only their diversity but also their importance as part of the larger ecological system of the Great Plains. The author offers a comprehensive guide to these species, complete with keys for identification. Taking a historical approach, the book examines the significant contributions of the author's predecessors, and the influence that late-Wisconsinan and early-mid Holocene events had on the distribution of these mosses. The author also discusses the reproductive biology of mosses, noting the roughly equal presence of dioecious and monoecious species while also indicating that overall, sporophyte production is greater in monoecious species. The significance of asexual reproduction via gemmae or fragmentation is also highlighted as a key adaptation for survival in the arid conditions of the Great Plains. The book concludes by discussing the importance of mosses within the context of their broader geographical and ecological context, emphasizing their resilience and adaptability in the face of environmental change.
