The first truly detailed field guide to the mosses of the region
This comprehensive, richly illustrated, and accessible photographic field guide enables any user to identify more than 200 species of common mosses in the Southeastern United States using only a hand lens or a smart phone for magnified views. Introductory sections cover the basics of moss morphology and ecology, offer extensive practical guidance on how to approach field identification, and address conservation and gardening with mosses. The introductory sections are followed by a Quick Guide reference to the various moss groups and the often-confused common liverworts. The main species accounts, which form the heart of the book, describe appearance, leaves, capsules, habitats, distribution, other names, and similar species. Each account is illustrated with high-quality original photographs and botanical drawings as well as infographics showing size and habitat preference. The result allows all nature enthusiasts to make accurate identifications and gain access to the enchanting world of mosses.
