bryophyte teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı: A member of the Bryophyta (in the broadest sense). Any plant in which the gametophyte (haploid) stage of the lifecycle is the larger, persistent stage, and the sporophyte (diploid) stage is small and dependent upon the gametophyte. Bryophytes include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts; 1 a nonvascular plant of the division Bryophyta (a moss, liverwort, or hornwort) As cited in; a group of plants lacking vascular tissue (xylem and phloem), the system of cells that act like a circulatory system for carrying water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant Most bryophytes are mosses, but there are also two smaller groups of bryophytes known as hornworts and liverworts; any of numerous plants of the division Bryophyta; Plants in which the gametophyte generation is the larger, persistent phase; they generally lack conducting tissues Bryophytes include the Hepaticophyta (liverworts), Anthocerotophyta (hornworts), and Bryophyta (mosses); Any of the green, seedless land plants that make up the division Bryophyta, numbering at least 18,000 species and divided into three classes: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They are distinguished from vascular plants and seed plants by the production of only one spore-containing organ in their spore-producing stage. Most bryophytes are 0.8-2 in. (2-5 cm) tall or, if reclining, generally less than 12 in. (30 cm) long. Found throughout the world, from polar regions to the tropics, they are most abundant in humid environments, though none is marine. Bryophytes are extremely tolerant of dry and freezing conditions. Peat moss is economically important to humans in horticulture and as an energy source. Some bryophytes are used ornamentally, as in moss gardens. In nature, bryophytes initiate soil formation on barren terrain and maintain soil moisture, and they recycle nutrients in forest ecosystems. They are found on rocks, logs, and forest litter
