Article History ABSTRACT 

Received : 18 November 2023 Moss plants (Bryophyta) are found in every habitat, and their presence in an 
ecosystem is controlled by environmental circumstances. The Senggani Ravine 
tourism area is a popular tourist attraction comprising a pine forest with extensive 
moss communities. This work aimed to assess the diversity of mosses (Bryophyta) 
in the Senggani Ravine tourism area for the first time. In June 2022, exploratory 
descriptive research of moss diversity was undertaken by a free walk around the 
Senggani Ravine tourism area from a predetermined position point (purposive 
sampling) using observation, documentation, literature study, and measurement of 
abiotic elements for data collection. Based on the results, twenty species of mosses 
were identified and can be divided into four classes, namely the Bryopsida, 
Polytrichopsida, Jungermanniopsida, and Marchantiopsida. The species identified 
were Barbulla indica, Fissidens purpusillus, Fissidens biformis, Fissidens biformis, 
Octoblepharum albidum, Rhizonium punctatum, Mnium hornum, Philonotis marchica, 
Fontinalis antipyretica, Hypnum cupressiform, Polytrichastrum formosum, Lejeunea flava, 
Lejeunea cavifolia, Bazzania prareupta, Bazzania vittata, Riccia junghuhniana, 
Marchantia emarginata, Marchantia polymorpha, Dumortiera hirsuta, and Lunularia 
cruciate. Abiotic factor measurements revealed that zone 3, which has a soil pH of 6, 
an air temperature of 24.1 C°, an 84% humidity level, and 200 Cd of light cm-1, is 
the most favorable area for moss growth. We can infer that the Senggani Ravine 
tourism area is still primarily undisturbed because the moss flora is still quite 
diverse and varied.

INTRODUCTION 

Senggani Ravine is a tourist destination in 

Nglurup Village, Sendang District, Tulungagung 

Regency. Known for its campgrounds and home to 

a magnificent pine forest, it is a popular tourist 

attraction. It features a cool and humid 

microclimate and has fertile soil. The predominance 

of dense and gloomy trees, as well as grass and 

other vegetation indicates that these environmental 

circumstances enable the establishment of various 

species like mosses (Effendi et al., 2018). Mosses 

(Bryophyta) are a group of plants with 15,000 

species, the second largest after the flowering plants 

that dominate the Indonesian mainland. The 

presence of mosses in an ecosystem is influenced by 

environmental circumstances. Mosses grow in 

every habitat. They are able to live and grow on a 

variety of surfaces, including soil, rocks, sand, litter, 

tree trunks, and even water. Numerous abiotic 

elements can affect the growth of mosses (Mulyani 

et al., 2015). According to Bawaihaty et al. (2014), 

environmental circumstances such as temperature, 

humidity, light, altitude, climate, and availability of 

nutrients have a significant impact on the 

population and variety of mosses within an 

ecosystem. 

The growth of mosses exerts positive effects on 

the local ecosystem, particularly for other plants. 

Using rock mineralization, decomposition, and 

carbon fixation, mosses have the potential to 

balance the nutrient content of the soil (Lukitasari, 

2018). According to Perwati et al. (2015), mosses

play a significant role in tropical forest areas, 

particularly in highland regions. In addition to 

serving as a home for other organisms, moss plants 

also serve as groundwater balancers, oxygen 

suppliers, nutrient cycle inhibitors, ornamental 

plants, medicinals, and are able to detect pollution 

levels or environmental changes. Research on the 

variety of mosses in the Senggani Ravine tourism 

area, is conducted due to their significant ecological 

function and to address the lack of existing studies 

on mosses in the region. This reseach aimed to 

assess the diversity of mosses (Bryophyta) in the 

Senggani Ravine tourism area. By doing this 

research, it is anticipated to reveal more about the 

variety of mosses there and their ecological 

advantages.  

 

 

 

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS 

Location and time of observation 

The research was carried out in the Senggani 

Gorge region, Nglurup Village, Sendang District, 

Tulungagung Regency in June 2022. Senggani 

Ravine is a region in the highlands that is about 800 

m above sea level, has an average temperature of 

25.6 C°, and 82.3% relative humidity. Sampling 

involved in situ research through direct 

observations by researchers in their natural 

environments (Moelong, 2017). This research 

employed a descriptive exploratory strategy with 

cruising approaches (Sundra, 2016). By using three 

specified observation points (purposive sampling) as 

a reference for the observation area that can be 

shown on a map, researchers used free roaming 

(cruising method) to directly explore the Senggani 

Ravine tourism area (Figure 1).

Zone I is at the coordinate point (S 07°54'57.19" 

E 111°49'34.05"), Zone II is at the coordinate point (S 

07°54'53.44" E 111°49'33.80"), and Zone III is at the 

coordinate point (S 07°54'57.00" E 111°49'31.88"). 

This research was not focused on establishing a 

particular hypothesis but limited to descriptions being 

observed using tools for gathering observation data, 

documentation, and literature studies (Arikunto, 

2002). A Realme 3 Android camera and a Nikon 25 

mm prosumer macro lens, as well as writing supplies 

and books for identifying mosses, were used in the 

investigation. References such as Lukitasari (2016; 

2018) and additional sources including articles, 

journals, and books were consulted. Instruments for 

measuring abiotic factors were employed 

(anemometer, GPS ETREX30X, AZ 885 Infrared 

Psychrometer, Three Way Soil Meter, and MA-30 

Military Altimeter EX 284). Following collection, the 

specimens were identified and given a descriptive 

analysis based on their traits and abiotic components. 

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 
Moss species diversity (Bryophyta) 

The research identified 20 species of mosses 

(Bryophyta) that are native of Senggani Ravine tourist 

area. A total of 20 species were collected, classified 

into 15 moss plant families comprising 11 moss/leaf 

moss species (Bryophyta) and 9 liverwort species 

(Marchantiophyta) (Table 1). According to field 

observations, zone III exhibited up to 13 more species 

than zones I or II combined, which is the highest level 

of species diversity. Moss plants can grow on a wide 

range of surfaces, including soil, rocks, tree roots, tree 

trunks, weathered logs, and cliffs edge. 

The mosses that dominated the Senggani Ravine 

tourism area belonged to the Bryophyta division 

(leaf/true mosses) (Table 1) which is the group of 

moss plants with the highest number of species in the 

world when compared to other moss groups, which is 

estimated at 12,000 species (Mulyani et al., 2015). 

According to research by Goffinet et al. (2008), the 

Bryopsida class, which encompasses 95% of the moss 

species globally, is the biggest group of mosses. True 

mosses with leaves (Bryophyta) are classified as 

having a greater level of development than other 

forms of mosses, in which stems can already be 

distinguished from leaves. 

When compared to earlier studies on mosses, 

such as those carried out at Peucari Bueng Jantho 

Waterfall, Aceh Besar District by Raihan et al. (2018), 

a relatively high diversity of moss species was 

observed by Azwir et al. (2022) in the forest of Mesjid 

Raya District, Aceh Besar District, and by Endang 

(2020) along the Kaburan-Burana River Basin, 

Batauga District, South Buton Regency, but further 

study is needed. Other studies were also undertaken in 

the vicinity of Mount Ungaran by Mulyani et al. 

(2015), and on Mount Prau, Blumah, Central Java 

region by Linah et al. (2021). Some of these variations 

in yield may be the consequence of various and unique 

environmental factors impacting upon the capacity of 

certain moss species to develop and adapt. 

Furthermore, human actions such as land clearing 

those results in increased light intensity in the moss 

habitat, as well as other environmental degradation, 

might alter the variety of moss species in certain areas 

(Liannah et al., 2021).     

Figure 3 illustrates the variations between the 

properties of mosses belonging to the Bryophyta 

(true mosses) group. Bryophyta, or true mosses, 

typically consist of entire plant-like structures 

(roots/rhizoids, leaves, and stems). On the stems of 

moss, which have upright, spirally arranged leaves, 

buds grow for reproduction. Leaf/true mosses are 

able to grow on soil, grass, rock, tree trunks, and 

roots. Andreaeales, Sphagnales, and Bryales are the 

three orders that comprise the group of true mosses 

(mosses) (Lukitasari, 2018).  

Barbula indica  

Barbula indica has a height of 5-15 mm, smooth 

brown rhizomes, stems erect and occasionally 

branched, dark brown to reddish brown. Lanceolate 

leaves, grow upright on the stem, when dry the 

leaves will turn brown. The arrangement of the 

leaves is alternate, dense so that it looks stacked on 

top of each other, with small toothed leaf margins, 

leaf tips rounded, large costa ending at the leaf tip. 

Setae erect, occasionally bent, measuring 1 cm or 

more, capsules are round, cylindrical, measuring 1.5 

mm and have an elongated capsule cover. This type 

of moss is found growing in groups, dense and 

growing upright on calcareous soil with open 

environmental conditions. Eddy (1998) argues that 

Barbula indica is a small, green or yellowish plant 

with a height of more than 1 cm. Stem simple or 

branched. Leaves narrow, apex (leaf tip) rounded, 

often emarginated (heart-shaped). Setae short, 

spherical cylindrical capsule, up to 1.5 mm long, 

narrowly conical capsule cover. It grows on rocks, 

soil and walls, especially in damp and calcareous 

places. 

Fissidens perpusillus  

This plant has a flat form, shoots that grow 

vertically, varying body sizes, a yellowish-green 

hue, and a filoid fingered, pointy tip (Ristanto et al., 

2021). The stems are so short and concealed by 



Jurnal Riset Biologi dan Aplikasinya, 5(1): 43-51, March 2023| 46 

 

 

leaves that they appear to be nonexistent. The 

stems are short and completely covered by leaves. 

On the stem, the leaves are organized in two rows, 

are lanceolate, have flat, small-toothed margins, and 

are pointy at the tip/base. Fissidens perpusillus 

develops in clusters and spreads on moist and damp 

rock surfaces (Endang et al., 2020). 

Fessidens biformis  

Belongs to the Fissidentaceae group. Almost 

often found growing on rock substrate. It has a leaf 

morphology that is wide, upright and clustered, the 

tips are pointed, finger-like and stacked in a row, 

has a short stalk that is not visible, capsules and 

setae are about 1 cm long (Febrianti, 2015). 

Fessidens astroviridis 

Fissidens astroviridis is commonly found in soil 

substrates but is also found in rocks. This moss has 

a dull green color and looks comb-shaped when 

viewed from above (Febrianti, 2015). The individual 

size of F. atroviridis reaches 5 mm. The leaves are 

lanceolate with a pointed tip (Raihan et al., 2018). 

Leaf anatomy has a size of 1 µm with an irregular 

rectangular shape. The stem is almost invisible 

because it is covered with a collection of thread-like 

leaves and rhizoids. Environmental conditions have 

a significant influence on moss. Differences of each 

species of mosses to environmental factors will 

affect the level of adaptation, species composition, 

and distribution of mosses (Pasaribu, 2013). 

Octoblepharum albidum 

 The leaves ranged in color from pale green to 

white, have an elongated, pointed form, and are 

thick. The sporophyte of O. albidum is readily 

discernible. The top of the sporangium is known as 

the spore box. It forms colonies and adheres to the 

stem of pine trees and is found in both wet and dry 

forests. Therefore, the Senggani Ravine tourism 

area is an ideal habitat for O. albidum because it is 

shady and cool. 

Rhizonium punctatum 

The oval leaves of this plant, which 

frequently grow next to one another, shrink when 

dry. R. punctatum has dark red stems that eventually 

turn reddish-brown as they mature. Green 

protonematous rhizoids specialize in asexual 

reproduction. This species inhabits dark, moist, and 

damp soil and rocks (Tomovic et al., 2021).

Mnium hornum 

The leaves of Mnium hornum are distinctively 

golden green in color, slightly elongated, and have a 

pointed leaf tip. This moss species thrives on moist 

and humid soil (Marom et al., 2017). 

Philonotis marchica 

The spores of Philonotis marchica are round. 

The leaves are green, weeny, serrated, and arranged  

along the stems. The cells of the leaf blades appear 

to be wider near the base. It can survive on moist 

and damp soil surfaces. 

 

 

Fontinalis antipyretica 

It can grow transversely branched and reach 

up to 60 cm in length. Its leaves are oval, slightly 

stiff, and arranged in an overlapping pattern. There 

are tiny spores on this moss plant at the time of 

collection. This huge moss can be seen growing on 

damp, wet rocks and soil (Lukitasari, 2018).  

Hypnum cupressiforme 

Hypnum cupressiforme is a species of moss that 

may grow on damp surfaces of soil and rocks. Its 

green leaves are long, curled, and have pointed tips. 

Because the leaves grow densely on the stem's 

surface, the stem is almost completely covered by

the leaves. The branches are irregularly pinnate and 

the branches either spread or ascendant. 

Polytrichastrum formosum 

Polytrichastrum formosum is a medium-sized 

plant with tall and unbranched main stems. The 

leaves bloom like flowers and become dull when 

dry. On the leaf surface, tall lamellae cells can be 

detected. This species can be found on moist and 

damp soil surfaces as well as flooded soil surfaces 

(Asthana et al., 2012). 

Liveworts (Marchantiophyta) 

Figure 4 depicts the species of liverworts 

(Marchantiophyta) discovered in several zones of 

the research area, with apparent variances in their 

characteristics. Liverworts are distinguished from 

other mosses by the presence of a thallus connected 

to the substrate and leaves made up of lined and 

thickened cells. The genital organs of liverworts are 

usually found on the surface and are protected by a 

unicellular root structure (Lukitasari, 2018). 

Lejeunea flava 

Lejeunea flava features a small and pale green 

circular thallus, varied leaf sizes between large 

(lobes) and small (lobules), and flat and blunt edges. 

Small trunk, dense, creeping, and branching 

growth.  

The branching, however, is almost 

unnoticeable since it is covered with an incubous 

leaf arrangement (lower leaves covering the top 

leaves) or overlaps. L. flava colonizes soil, trees, and 

rock substrates (Angeles et al., 2020). 

Lejeunea cavifolia 

The trunk of Lejeuna cavifolia is dense, flat, and 

interwined with soil, bark, roots, and pebbles. It has 

a small thallus that is spherical, smooth, and pale 

green. This moss's stem spreads over the substrate, 

usually with two uneven branches, the edges are flat 

and blunt, the lower leaves covering the higher 

leaves or overlap each other, and it is divided 

between large leaves (lobes) and little leaves 

(lobule). L. cavifolia grows on rotten wood, roots, 

rocks, and soil in shaded and moist areas (Putna and 

Mezaka, 2014). 

Bazzania prareupta 

The leaves of Bazzania prareupta are almost 

square in shape, green in color, flat at the basal 

borders, and rounded at the ends with a slightly 

curved inward center. The leaves are succubous (two 

upper covering the lower leaf), have cilia (tapering 

at the tip of the leaf), and have amphigastria. It has 

a small stem that is covered with leaves, of the 

Frullania branching type, and is linked to soil and 

worn wood surfaces (Lestari and Ariyanti, 2017). 

Bazzania vittata 

Bazzania vittata has a little green stem with a 

trunk branch that looks like a Frulllania or is 

formed like a fork but is short and unusual. The 

leaves are closely packed, neighboring leaves 

overlap, the base of the leaf is flat, the ventral leaf is 

attached, the leaf edge is flat, and the top of the leaf 

is 2-3 serrated, blunt, and rough. The ventral leaves 

are closely spaced, circular to the square in form, 

and have thin walls. B. Vittata is frequently found 

clinging to soil substrates and worn wood (Lestari 

and Ariyanti, 2017). 

Riccia junghuhniana 

Riccia junghuhniana Nees & Lindenb belongs to 

the Ricciaceae family. Riccia junghuhniana is a 

liverwort that grows on the surface of the substrate 

like on the ground. R. junghuhniana has a thalus that 

is flush with the substrate, has midribs on the dorsal 

side of the thalus. Thalus branched dichotomous, 

light green and shiny. Live in groups by forming 

floral or circular patterns. When it has dried the 

thallus is yellowish in color (Lianah, et al., 2021). 

Marchantia emarginata 

Marchantia emarginata has a branched and stiff 

thallus that is dark green and leafless. It has a 

smooth surface, no midrib/midrib spreads across 

the soil surface, and when it is dried, the edges turn 

brown. The ribbon-like leaves of M. emarginata are 

distinguished by forked, fleshy branches and the 

presence of brood buds, despite the absence of a 

petiole on the stem. The thallus and the root are the 

only components of the gametophyte structure. 

Roots (rhizoids) aid in the attachment of the thallus 

to the substrate and are typically grouped in 

clusters (Wen and Huang, 2017). 

Marchantia polymorpha 

Marchantia polymorpha has a green thallus, no 

leaves, and grows creeping on the ground. The 

upper thallus has a hexagonal pattern, the tip and 

base of the thallus are blunt, porous, black striped, 

and has a thick stiff texture on the thallus 

(Febriansah et al., 2019). There is a gemmae cup, 

which is used for vegetative reproduction, and 

spores are used for generative reproduction. The 

archegonial stem is brownish green, and the 

archegoniophore is green, lobe-shaped like an 

umbrella. It has many roots (rhizoids) that aid in 

adhering to the soil surface (Sholihat and Kurnia, 

2021). 

Dumortiera hirsuta 

Dumortiera hirsuta is a dark green ribbon-shaped 

plant with dichotomous branches. The thallus has a 

blunt, rounded tip with a V-shaped indentation in 



49|Kartikasari et al., Diversity of Moss Species (Bryophyta) In Senggani Ravine Tourism Area 

 

 

the middle, a spore cup, and flat margins. The 

surface is slick and striped in a white hexagonal 

pattern, and there a few downy hairs. Similar to 

other forms of mosses, it uses rhizoid (roots) to 

adhere to the substrate. The substrate of D. hirsuta 

consists of soil and rocks (Karomah et al., 2020).

Environmental Factors 

The environmental parameters affecting 

mosses in the tourism area of Senggani Ravine 

differ significantly in the three observation zones. 

However, in general, the climate in the Senggani 

Ravine is cold, humid, and chilly. Consequently, 

based on the measurements of environmental 

abiotic parameters, it has been determined that the 

environmental conditions in the Senggani Gorge 

tourism area are compatible with the features of the 

moss plant's habitat and conducive to its 

reproduction. Table 2 displays the abiotic 

environmental conditions of each moss zone.

Table 2 indicates that zone 3 has the highest 

altitude (838 m above sea level), is characterized by 

dense, shady trees, and has an air temperature of 

24.1 C°. The air humidity is 84%, the light intensity 

is 200 Cd, the soil wetness is 7, the soil pH is 6, and 

the wind speed is 2.0 m s-1. This substantially 

supports the habitat of moss plants where humidity 

and light intensity greatly affect the number of 

moss species, as proven by the fact that zone 3 is 

home to as many as 13 kinds of mosses. The 

intensity of sunlight has a significant effect on the 

air temperature and humidity, which in turn has a 

significant effect on the distribution of mosses. The 

less intense the sunshine, the greater the relative 

humidity and the lower the air temperature. The 

optimal air humidity for moss growth is between 70 

and 98%, and soil pH has a significant impact on 

moss growth; moss thrives in the pH range of 4.9 to 

8.3. (Wati, et al., 2016). 

 

CONCLUSION 

Based on the outcome of the research, it can be 

inferred that the diversity of mosses (Bryophyta) in 

the Senggani Ravine area is extremely diverse and 

varied, indicating that the area is still mostly 

undeveloped. There are 20 species of mosses 

(Bryophyta) divided into four classes: Bryopsida, 

Polytrichopsida, Jungermanniopsida, and 

Marchantiopsida. Zone 3 is a region that strongly 

favors moss habitat due to its height (838 m a.s.l), 

air temperature 24.1 C°, air humidity 84%, light 

intensity 200 candelas per square meter, and soil pH 

6. As oxygen sources, water absorbers, pollutant 

absorbers, anti-erosion agents, aesthetic and 

medicinal plants, moss plants play a vital function in 

the environment.
