 note = {P(論文), Micro-relief distribution of five major mosses, Pottia heimii, Ceratodon purpureus, Bryum pseudotriquetrum, Grimmia lawiana and Bryum argenteum, in the ice-free areas along the Soya Coast, continental part of East Antarctica have been compared. Those five mosses showed three different types of micro-relief distribution, at three different types of sites: mounds, slopes and hollows. Pottia heimii and Ceratodon purpureus prevailed on mound sites mixed with cyanobacteria. In dryer mound environments cyanobacteria was supposed to play an important role in nitrogen fixation. Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Grimmia lawiana dominated on hollow sites covered with sand. A more moisture rich condition of the hollow may promote their abundance associated with their high photosynthetic ability at moist sites. Bryum argenteum showed a rather unclear micro-relief distribution pattern. It appeared chiefly on mounds, but on hollows also. Rich nutrient input by sea birds into its habitats may allow various site selection under environments favorable to distribution.},
