e0“The tolerance to water deficit protonema of vegetative and generative clones of mosses Bryum argenteum Hedw., Funaria hygrometrica Hedw. and Barbula unguiculata Hedw.”
e3“The most resistant were Bryum argenteum sods from the top of the southern slope of the sulfur mining dump, which on the medium with 2 % polyethylene glycol (PEG) had the largest diameter and the largest number of gametophores per sod compared to the samples from the wetter localities of the northern slope of the dump”

- Association Vegetative clones of the investigated mosses are more tolerant to lack of moisture than generative clones.
- Intervention effect Bryum argenteum sods from the top of the southern slope of the dump formed the largest number of gametophores per sod on 2 % PEG compared with samples from the wetter northern slope.
- Association Vegetative clones from different local vegetation showed different sensitivity to water deficit.
- Intervention effect Plants from the dumps had a higher growth rate of regenerants on PEG medium than samples from Lviv.
- Intervention effect Plants from the dumps formed more gametophores on PEG medium than samples from Lviv.
- Mechanism Successful vegetative reproduction with a short development cycle lets mosses better adapt to water deficit in post-technological territories.
- Association Tolerance of vegetative and generative moss clones depends on plant age, PEG concentration, duration of exposure and life strategy.
