Sphagnum squarrosum Introduction to Bryophytes

The moss Sphagnum (peat moss) is ecologically and economically important. There is a paucity of physiological and developmental studies on Sphagnum because of the lack of an axenic culture system for its whole life cycle.

We investigated the pH dependence of the elongation of and photosynthesis by Sphagnum squarrosum and S. girgensohnii in a coastal Picea glehnii peat mire in Cape Ochiishi, north-eastern Japan. S. squarrosum grew in the acidic centre of the P. glehnii forest and showed the highest photosynthetic rate at pH = 3.8. S. girgensohnii grew at the margin of the P. glehnii forest and showed the maximum.

Sphagnum mosses are keystone species that shape their habitat through unique biochemical and morphological adaptations that together result in an acidic, permeable and nutrient-poor environment.


Sphagnum squarrosum, commonly known as the spiky bogmoss or spreading

Sphagnum squarrosum is one of two Irish Sphagnum species that are often referred to collectively as section Squarrosa. In the field these two species normally look quite different from each other.

17 Sphagnum squarrosum + Branch leaves imbricate (squarrose in shade forms), moderate in size (1-1.5 mm); hyaline cells of branch leaves with unringed pores on concave and convex surfaces; stem leaves as long or longer than branch leaves (1-1.7 mm) 3: Branch leaf hyaline cells near leaf base on convex surface mostly aporose and on concave.

Sphagnum squarrosum, commonly known as the spiky bog-moss or spreading-leaved bog moss is a species of moss which grows in nutrient-rich, damp soil. Typical habitats include woodland, the banks of streams and ditches; it can even be found at high altitude in damp cirques. The species often grows near sedges (Carex), rushes (Juncus) or purple moor grass (Molinia caerulea).

Sphagnum squarrosum var. subsquarrosum Russ. ex Warnst., Hedwigia 27: 271. 1888. Plants rather robust, jade green to yellowish green or yellowish brown, in loose tufts. Stem cortex in 2-4 layers, hyaline cells thin-walled, without fibrils, sometimes with large pores; central cylinder pale green or yellowish orange.

Specimens of Sphagnum fimbriatum Wils. and Sphagnum squarrosum Crome were either obtained from European herbaria or collected by the authors (Tables S1 and S2, available online as supplementary material). We aimed to cover as much of the European range of the species as possible. Each sample contained a group of three to five shoots.

S. squarrosum has a wide central cylinder that is brown (or pale in shade forms) sheathed by a thin pale cortex of hyaline cells. S. palustre always has a much wider hyaline cortex that is 1/3 to ½ the width of its stem.
