XXII Symposium of Cryptogamic Botany 2019

The XXII Symposium of Cryptogamic Botany, hosted by FCUL from July 24th to 26th received researchers mainly from Portugal and Spain. Ricardo Cruz de Carvalho presented a work entitled "Is morphology inducing desiccation tolerance in bryophytes?" in which he described the importance of bryophyte colony morphology, with different life forms, as a trait that controls water dehydration rate, correlating with individual shoot desiccation tolerance, a characteristic that will help to select the best species for sustainable green roofs.
