Notes on the production of stream bryophytes in the high Pyrenees (France)
Notes sur la production de bryophytes dans des torrents Pyrénéens
The Freshwater Biological Association, River Laboratory, East Stoke, Wareham, Dorset
The production estimate for Fontinalis squamosa of 92 gm m-2 was a minimum one assuming an annual branching pattern. Standing crops for the total stream area of bryophytes of 325 gm m-2 for the site at Artigusse and of 92 gm m-2 for the Estaragne tributary were recorded. The area covered was however high in the former and very low in the latter (only 7%). The maximum recorded standing crops were 1 960 gm m-2 for Cratoneuron commutation and 682 gm m-2 for Fontinalis and Fissidens combined.
The splash zone around a small water chute is described.
Résumé
Une production minimale de 92 g/m2 a été estimée pour Fontinalis squamosa en supposant une ramification annuelle. Les biomasses de bryophytes ont été évaluées à 325 g/m2 au ruisseau d'Artigusse et à 92 g/m2 à un affluent du ruisseau d'Estaragne. L'aire recouverte était cependant élevée pour la première station et faible pour la seconde (7% seulement). Les biomasses maximales ont été évaluées à 1 960 g/m2 pour Cratoneuron commutatum et à 682 g/m2 pour Fontinalis et Fissidens réunies.
Enfin est décrite la zonation des mousses autour d'une petite cascade.
