Inventory of Epiphytic Moss in the Tree Trunk Zonation of Jumog Waterfall Ngargoyoso Tawangmangu Karanganyar Central Java

Abstract

The concept of epiphytic plants is a critical plant that determines the processes that occur in ecosystems. Epiphytic plants especially Bryophytes or commonly moss is one of primary productivity. This study aims to record any epiphytic moss in their natural habitat in the Jumog Waterfall Forest Ngargoyoso in Karanganyar Tawangmangu Central Java. The method used in this study was purposive sampling, this method using exploration techniques. Field data observed were epiphytic plants from the Bryophyte groups (moss plants). The results showed that there were five moss colonies namely Bryum billardieri, Octoblepharum albidum, Leucobryum aduncum, Heteroscyphus coalitus and Pogonatum neesii, in 3 different zones of phorophytes, name zone I, II and III.

Diversity of epiphytic bryophytes in Medan City Parks, North Sumatra, Indonesia and its potential as lead (Pb) bio-accumulators

“…The species is widely distributed in tropical forests, dry forests, tropical savannas and coastal habitats in north-eastern Brazil. Previous studies revealed that O. albidum inhabits other urban areas in Indonesia, such as parking areas (Khujjah and Ekowati 2018), schoolyards (Aripulis 2019), and riparian vegetation (Roziaty et al 2019). The number of epiphytic bryophytes species obtained in this study was lower compared to Putrika et al (2017), who reported 36 species in the urban forest and the main road of the University of Indonesia's campus, Depok West Java, Indonesia.…”
