YNU Bryological Section Report for 2016

摘要

Two sectional meetings were held in 2016 and are reported below. Nomenclature follows the current British Checklist and Census Catalogue (Hill et al., 2008).The Bryological Section held a very successful meeting in Upper Teesdale in 2013 at Cronkley Scars, when a number of very old records were refound and some new ones made. In view of the general lack of recording in the VC65 part of Teesdale in recent decades it was decided to follow up the Cronkley meeting with a visit to another classic locality, Holwick Scars. Our visit was limited to the crags, screes and flushes in the immediate vicinity of the scars and, therefore, the ground covered was less extensive and more uniform than at Cronkley. Nevertheless several interesting records were made.
