Description

Eight bryologists converged on Turriff on 29-31 October 2004 for this special BBS meeting. In the current Survey of the Bryophytes of Arable Land (SBAL), 100 ‘random’ tetrads have been selected for study in Britain , and our primary aim was to record two arable fields in each of the nine tetrads in north-east Scotland (v.-c. 90-94). We also hoped to survey as many other fields as possible, both for SBAL and to complement the records from other habitats made on the summer meeting in v.-c. 93.
