“…A detailed examination ( Figure 1 b) highlighted smaller, more compactly organized structures with grayish-brown coloration. Additionally, it showed a mesh-like structure with irregularly sized and shaped polygonal cells, where the demarcating lines were thicker and darker, and the cell interiors varied from light to dark brown, implying a more textured or three-dimensional aspect [ 30 ]. Particularly noteworthy are the larger, lighter hyaline cells unique to Sphagnum (bryophyte), essential for water retention [ 31 ].…”

A composite material composed of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO), carbon (C), and magnesium oxide (MgO) was developed for CO2 capture applications. Inspired by the bryophyte organism, the AAO/C/MgO composite mirrors two primary features of these species—(1) morphological characteristics and (2) elemental composition—specifically carbon, oxygen, and magnesium. The synthesis process involved two sequential steps: electroanodization of aluminum foil followed by a hydrothermal method using a mixture of glucose and magnesium chloride (MgCl2). The concentration of MgCl2 was systematically varied as the sole experimental variable across five levels—1 mM, 2 mM, 3 mM, 4 mM, and 5 mM—to investigate the impact of MgO formation on the samples’ chemical and physical properties, and consequently, their CO2 capture efficiency. Thus, scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed the AAO substrate’s porous structure, with pore diameters measuring 250 ± 30 nm. The growth of MgO on the AAO substrate resulted in spherical structures, whose diameter expanded from 15 nm ± 3 nm to 1000 nm ± 250 nm with increasing MgCl2 concentration from the minor to major concentrations explored, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated that carbon serves as a linking agent between AAO and MgO within the composite. Notably, the composite synthesized with a 4 mM MgCl2 concentration exhibited the highest CO2 capture efficiency, as determined by UV-Vis absorbance studies using a sodium carbonate solution as the CO2 source. This efficiency was quantified with a ‘k’ constant of 0.10531, significantly higher than those of other studied samples. The superior performance of the 4 mM MgCl2 sample in CO2 capture is likely due to the optimal density of MgO structures formed on the sample’s surface, enhancing its adsorptive capabilities as suggested by the XPS results.

The occurrence of two epiphytic moss species, Orthotrichum alpestre Bruch & Schimp. and O. schimperi Hammar, in the moss flora of Poland is discussed. The former represents an entirely new country record based on a specimen collected from the Polish Eastern Carpathians, whereas the latter is reinstated as a member of the Polish moss flora. The complex and entangled taxonomic and nomenclatural history of O. schimperi is outlined, sources of its confusion are discussed, and two correctly determined specimens from Poland are cited. The two species are briefly characterized and illustrated, and a key to the genera and species of Polish orthotrichaceous mosses is presented.

“…Recent estimations report 1,591 species of bryophytes living in different ecosystems in Mexico (Delgadillo 2014, Delgadillo & Juárez-Martínez 2014, Ellis et al 2018, Escolástico-Ortíz & Juárez-Martínez 2018. Use of bryophytes has been documented since about 500 years for medicinal purposes and 180 years for religious purposes (De la Cruz 1552, Calderón de la Barca 1843); however, it is likely that they were also used in pre-Columbian times.…”

Background: Mexico has an extensive record of vascular plants that are used by humans and associated with traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). However, for non-vascular plants like bryophytes, there is no consensus on how many and which species have any TEK associated with them. Questions: How many bryophyte species are used by humans in Mexico? What TEK is associated with them? Why is it important to document ethnobotanical information on bryophytes? Studied species: Bryophytes sensu lato. Study site and dates: Mexican territory. Time span covered by the studies reviewed was from 1552 to 2020. Methods: Information in published materials, repositories, and personal fieldwork records were used to build a database on bryophyte taxa associated with some TEK in Mexico. Results: According to available data, the bryophyte flora with some associated TEK in Mexico includes 36 species belonging to 30 genera and 23 families. The main use is ceremonial, although craft, environmental, medicinal, and ornamental uses are also reported. Conclusions: This study updates the number of bryophytes used as non-forest timber resources. Ethnobotanical records for Mexico are among the highest in countries that use bryophytes in human enterprises.
