The 22 pages that link to Bryophyte, each with the reason it gives.

• Arctic tundraRelated: Mosses often form water-retaining ground cover in tundra wetlands.

• SporophyteNarrower topic: Bryophyte sporophytes are generally less independent than those of vascular plants.

• Vascular plantCompared with: Bryophytes lack the true xylem and phloem that define vascular plants.

• Seed plantCompared with: Bryophytes lack both vascular tissue and the seed-based life cycle.

• Temperate rainforestBroader topic: Bryophytes carpet the ground and coat trees in many temperate rainforests.

• MossNarrower topic: Mosses are one major lineage within the bryophytes.

• Vascular tissueCompared with: Bryophytes show how land plants function without vascular tissue.

• Plant life cycleBroader topic: Its life cycle has a dominant gametophyte and dependent sporophyte.

• ThallusNarrower topic: Some bryophyte gametophytes are thalloid, while others have more differentiated forms.

• SphagnumNarrower topic: Sphagnum belongs to the mosses, one of the major bryophyte lineages.

• EmbryophyteBroader topic: Bryophytes retain prominent gametophytes and lack the vascular tissues of tracheophytes.

• Appalachian temperate rainforestRelated: Bryophytes thrive on the wet ground, rocks, and tree surfaces of these forests.

• OogamyBroader topic: Many bryophytes produce motile sperm that must reach eggs through water.

• RhyniophyteCompared with: Bryophytes lack the vascular tissues that define rhyniophytes.

• LycopodiopsidaCompared with: Clubmosses resemble mosses in name but possess vascular tissue and true roots.

• PolysporangiophyteCompared with: Bryophyte sporophytes generally bear one sporangium rather than a branched series.

• PteridophyteCompared with: Bryophytes also reproduce by spores but lack the vascular tissues of pteridophytes.

• BryologyNarrower topic: This umbrella term defines the organisms at the center of bryology.

• BryopsidaNarrower topic: This broader grouping places Bryopsida among land plants that reproduce by spores.

• Evolutionary history of plantsCompared with: Bryophytes contrast with vascular plants in anatomy and the dominance of the life cycle.

• Plant structuresCompared with: Bryophytes lack the true roots and vascular tissues found in vascular plants.

• Robin Wall KimmererBroader topic: Mosses were the subject of Kimmerer’s botanical research and doctoral work.
