Abstract
This chapter contains detailed information on life cycle, morphology and classification of the three divisions of Bryophytes: Marchantiophyta (liverworts), Bryophyta (mosses) and Anthocerotophyta (hornworts). Additional sections cover the importance of asexual reproduction in Bryophytes, central aspects of their physiology and physiological ecology and the essentials of Bryophyte ecology (autecology, population/community ecology and systems ecology).
