“…The species richness of mosses in the study area is very high; 40% of the total of 766 species and infra-specific taxa reported from Borneo and 47% of the total of 651 species and infra-specific taxa reported from Sabah (Andi and Suleiman 2005, Suleiman et al 2006, 2009, 2011a, 2011b, 2017, Suleiman and Akiyama 2007, Higuchi et al 2008, Akiyama 2010, Ho et al 2010, Ellis et al 2010, 2015, 2016a, 2016b, Andi et al 2015, Chua and Suleiman 2015, Mohamed et al 2010, Suleiman and Rimi 2016). …”

This paper reports the mosses from Crocker Range Park (CRP) in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. In total, 293 species, three subspecies and eight varieties belonging to 118 genera and 36 families are reported. This represents about 40% and 47% of the species and infra-specific taxa reported from Borneo and Sabah, respectively. Out of these, six species are new records for Borneo, namely Barbella horridula, Chaetomitrium lancifolium, Distichophyllum leiopogon, Rhaphidostichum luzonense, Rosulabryum capillare and Taxiphyllum taxirameum and 12 species and one variety are new to Sabah. With these additions, the current number of mosses in Sabah and Borneo are 651 and 766, respectively. The largest family of mosses is Calymperaceae with 35 species and one subspecies, followed by Sematophyllaceae with 32 species and two varieties and Pylaisiadelphaceae with 21 species and one variety. In conclusion, CRP has a very high species richness of mosses which is the second highest in Borneo, after Mount Kinabalu.

“…Borneo is a huge island and only a small fraction of its land mass has been bryologically explored. Thus, the probability of finding newly recorded as well as undescribed species of bryophytes is still high (Akiyama and Suleiman 2015;Andi et al 2015;Chua and Suleiman 2015;Ellis et al 2015Ellis et al , 2016aEllis et al , 2016bEllis et al , 2018Ellis et al , 2019Zhu et al 2017;. With the four new additions of pleurocarpous mosses, Borneo now has 773 species and infraspecific taxa of mosses.…”

Four Hypnales mosses from three pleurocarpous families are recorded in Borneo for the first time. They are Neonoguchia auriculata (Copp. ex Thér.) S.H. Lin (Meteoriaceae), Oxyrrhynchium bergmaniae (E.B. Bartram) Huttunen & Ignatov (Brachytheciaceae), Thamnobryum latifolium (Bosch & Sande Lac.) Nieuwl. (Neckeraceae), and Trachycladiella sparsa (Mitt.) M. Menzel (Meteoriaceae). The specimens were collected from Nuluhon Trusmadi Forest Reserve in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Descriptions and illustrations of the four species as well as notes on their distribution and distinguishing characteristics are provided.

“…Heath forests have low, densely packed, and even canopy surfaces with little vertical stratification (Jucker et al 2018). The forest ground is well illuminated because of the smaller leaves that allow higher light penetration, resulting in high juvenile survivorship of shade-tolerant species and lightdemanding climax species, dense undergrowth, and high abundances of bryophytes, myrmecophytes, and insectivorous plants (Whitmore 1984;Proctor 1999;Ashton 2014;Chua and Suleiman 2015;Aiba and Kitayama 2020;Mansur et al 2021).…”

Abstract. Ikbal IM, Din HHM, Tuah WH, Jaafar SM, Ahmad N, Sukri RS. 2023. Review: Diversity, structure, and community composition of Bornean heath forest with a focus on Brunei Darussalam. Biodiversitas 24: 2814-2829. Tropical heath forests, a unique lowland forest ecosystem with high conservation value, are increasingly threatened by disturbances. Heath forests are characterized by trees of short stature and the presence of highly acidic, sandy soils with poor nutrient content. Bornean heath forests are widely studied for their diversity, structure, and community composition and are known to support endemics of high conservation value. Environmental factors and soil properties, such as topography, water availability, and nutrient status, are known to influence tree species diversity and forest structure of Bornean forests. However, factors influencing their community composition, including the role of seedling communities in influencing heath forest communities, are still not well understood. In particular, studies of tree diversity and community composition of heath forests in Brunei Darussalam have revealed high endemism and the presence of species with high conservation value. Anthropogenic threats to Bornean heath forests highlight the urgent need for an increased understanding of these forests and prioritization of their conservation. Increased insights into the ecological preferences of heath forest species are crucial for the successful restoration of degraded heath forests. The intact forest ecosystems of Brunei could provide opportunities for further ecological research on the plant communities found in these unique forests.
