說明

Bryophytes comprise approximately 20,000 species worldwide and represent the second largest group of land plants after angiosperms. They play essential ecological roles in soil formation, nutrient cycling, water retention, microhabitat regulation, and forest regeneration and are widely recognized as sensitive bioindicators of environmental and climate change. Despite their importance, bryophytes remain poorly studied in West Africa.In Benin, bryophyte research is particularly limited due to the absence of a national database, insufficient taxonomic expertise, lack of identification resources, and the exclusion of these organisms from biodiversity assessments. To address this gap, the BryoBen project (https://bryoben-jrs.org) was initiated to document bryophyte diversity and establish the first quantitative baseline for the country.This dataset provides georeferenced occurrence records of mosses (Bryophyta) collected through field surveys in 18 municipalities across Benin. It includes 365 occurrences representing 56 species. By mobilizing these data, the dataset significantly improves current knowledge of moss diversity in Benin and supports their integration into biodiversity research, conservation planning, and ecological monitoring at national and regional scales.

計畫資料

Bryophytes, the second largest plant group after Angiosperms, with approximately 20,000 species, remain largely undocumented in Benin despite the implementation of a national botanical inventory. Their high sensitivity to temperature and environmental changes makes them excellent bioindicators for monitoring the effects of climate change on ecosystems. Bryophytes also play essential roles in soil formation, nutrient cycling, water retention, and plant community dynamics, highlighting their ecological importance. In West Africa, bryophytes are rarely included in biodiversity surveys. The BryoBen project aims to fill this knowledge gap by creating a comprehensive inventory of bryophyte species in Benin and mobilizing data for public use. The project has three main objectives: (1) provide resources to support species identification, taxonomic studies, field surveys, and conservation assessments, including postgraduate research; (2) mobilize and publish occurrence records and images through GBIF and iNaturalist; and (3) train staff at the National Herbarium of Benin and other scientists on how to prepare, publish, and access data from GBIF. By generating high-quality, openly accessible bryophyte data, BryoBen will support education, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable ecosystem management in Benin and beyond
