| Abstract: | Summary A brief overview is given of the importance of Scotland for Atlantic bryophytes within Europe and worldwide. The life strategies of Atlantic species are discussed and the main habitats of Atlantic bryophytes listed. A consideration of the use of distribution data to identify ‘hotspots’ and sites for conservation is made. Grimmia britannica A.J.E. Smith and Marsupella profunda Lindb. are added to the list of Atlantic species in Britain and Ireland. |
