Abstract

The spread of three antipodal bryophytes in Belgium has been monitored. The data on the presence of the two mosses Orthodontium lineare and Campylopus introflexus, that are already widespread in Western Europe, have been updated. The spread of the more recently introduced and slower spreading liverwort Lophocolea (Chiloscyphus) semiteres is monitored and its influence on indigenous Lophocolea species has been studied.
