Species such as sea club-rush and saltmarsh soldier-flies (eg Stratiomys singularior) also occur...so be aware of saltmarsh bryo potential.Ian Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197132818965237430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572836115424987671.post-21959520128882181152017-03-05T23:14:39.388+00:002017-03-05T23:14:39.388+00:00Thanks Barry - I'm still not 100% sure it'...Thanks Barry - I'm still not 100% sure it's semiteres but Karen's sample is similar to mine, so I think so.

I've plenty more sites to add, but the total list of bryos recorded directly on colliery spoil in West Glamorgan (n=8) currently stands at 128 (avge 44 spp) with Calliergonella cuspidata and Archidium alternifolium being the two most frequent (pretty much constant) species. I'll post the list when it's more complete.Barry Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080358305675651314noreply@blogger.com
