Advance in research on ecological and environmental effects on protection and utilization of bryophyte resources
Bryophytes are widely spread advanced plants with abundant resource, various species, and reproduced by spore, it is the transitional higher plant spices from aquatic to terrestrial. Bryophytes are also regarded as indicator plant widely applied in determi-nation of environment pollutions because of its simple structure and sensitive to the environmental changes. The growth of bryophyte is closely related to its habitat and has important roles in formation of soil crust, water and soil conservation, improvement on ecolo-gic niche. This review was presented here with emphasis on research progress of distribution characteristics of bryophyte, response to environment pollution and ecological environment effects. However, the present studies are still insufficient for the study areas and discipline views. With the rapid development of economic, increasing destruct of cropland and natural environment by mine exploi-tation and water electricity construction all over the world, the structure and function of agro-ecology occurred continuously chang-ing according to the increasing of nonagricultural construction projects and demands of agricultural products. According to the social and economic development current status of city and rural areas, enhancement of the study on the ecological environment effects on bryophyte resources in the agro-ecological fields and engineering construction discipline are the most important directions deserved to emphasis in the future.
