Studi Literatur Identifikasi Keanekaragaman lumut (Bryophyta) dan perannya di Ekosistem

This research aims to identify the diversity of mosses (Bryophyta) and their roles in ecosystems through a literature review method. The study gathered data from various sources, including scientific journals and related articles, to analyze the composition of moss species found in various habitats across Indonesia. The research findings indicate that moss diversity varies greatly, with the number of identified species ranging from 10 to 45 species in different locations, such as forests, national parks, and urban environments. Mosses play a crucial role in maintaining soil moisture, controlling erosion, and serving as indicators of environmental health. Furthermore, the presence of mosses supports biodiversity by providing habitats for microorganisms and other species. This research also highlights the impact of human activities on the existence of mosses and the importance of conservation efforts to protect their habitats. Therefore, this study provides new insights into the importance of mosses in ecosystems and encourages further research to understand their interactions with other ecosystem components.
