Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 9TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS Giant lycophyte trees had microphylls, whereas ferns and seed plants have megaphylls. Write a short essay (100-150 words) describing how a forest of lycophyte trees may have differed from a forest of large ferns or seed plants. In your answer, consider how the type of forest may have affected interactions among small plants growing beneath the tall ones.

Use the Florida Plant Atlas to complete a search for Bryophytes. (Use the video in the content
area of Module 7 to learn about using the Florida Plant Atlas website).
1. Search for Bryophytes in Broward County
2. Select two species of bryophytes from the search list and research the plant using the
internet.
3. Fill in the table for each of the species you selected (Most of the information for the
table can be found by clicking on the name of the species you select)
Genus Species Name
Type of Bryophyte
Native or Invasive
Other counties it has been
seen in
Common Name
Insert a picture (you may
download from the internet,
provide image source)
