An Amalgamation of Cryptogams: A Showcase of their Dynamic Life Histories and Understated Role in the Ecosystem.

Come along to hear Aimee, Stella and Kacey open your eyes to the often forgotten world of mosses, liverworts and lichens. Aimee will give an overview of bryophyte ecology and the importance for different ecosystems, with a New Zealand focus. Stella will introduce you to the 'phyllosphere,' where her talk on epiphyllous liverworts will be sure to excite you into the microscopic world! Kacey will bring you into the vast world of lichens, how they can be utilised (in our world), and some of the main features used for identification.
