Mosses (Bryophyta) and liverworts (Marchantoiphyta) of the Zackenberg valley, northeast Greenland
The moss and liverwort flora of Zackenberg valley in the Northeast Greenland National Park has been studied based on field investigations and literature survey. Altogether 212 taxa are recorded in the area, with 43 liverworts and 169 mosses. Five taxa are reported as new to Greenland Lophochaete fry...
