| Abstract;Floristic or gamma diversity of bryophyte vegetation was studied for fifteen islands scattered on the adjoining sea of Nagasaki Prefecture, southwestern Kyushu, Japan. A total of 167 bryophyte species (118 mosses, 47 liverworts and 2 hornworts) were observed on the islands. A positive correlation was seen between the area of islands studied and the elevation. But the most highly positive correlation was seen between the area and number of species. The regression equation was log y=0.373 log x+4.212, where y is the predicted number of species and x is the area (km2). The correlation coefficient was 0.989. Similarly, a highly positive correlation was seen between the area and number of life-forms. (author abst.) |
