Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 人資處應用科學系教學碩士班 === 96 === Abstract Bryophytes are a group of terrestrial plants, small in stature, and vastly grow in diverse ecosystems. This research started from January 2006 to January 2007 and focused on the area of Mt. Shihman, Taoyuan. During this period, samples were collected monthly along the man-made mountain trails, in which bryophytes were targeted within the area of three meters extending from both sides and two meters above the ground.The trails have been divided into five sections according to their distribution. The degree of humidity,openness and man-made interference of the habitat were also recorded. Based on the criteria just mentioned, the bryophytes in this region were categorized into five grouips, soil grown, rocks grown, water frown, trees grown and leaves grown. The preliminary assessment results 39 families, 63 genera and 84 species. In this study, morphology and cells' types of all bryophytes were described and accompanied with keys and pictures and/or illustrations. Identified specimen numbers were drawn on the map along the trails and this may be informative for further application for the Bureau of Shihman Resevoir Center and for the reference of domestically biological subjects in primary school education. In the meantime, all the species recognized in this study can be considered as part of the Taiwanese low altitude bryophytes. This study discovered Chenia leptophylla.
