自国际苔藓学家协会成立以来的世纪，我们进行了一次回顾，以确定苔藓学面临的突出挑战和未来的前景。具体而言，我们已经确定了50个基本问题，是至关重要的，在推进学科。MethodsWe已经适应了根深蒂固的方法，地平线扫描，以确定关键的研究焦点。一个由32名苔藓学家组成的多学科国际工作组准备了258个问题的初始池。由苔藓学研究人员组成的更广泛的社区完成了一系列在线调查，随后由工作组实施了质量控制步骤，用于创建一个最优先问题列表。这最终的清单被限制在50个问题与广泛的概念范围和回答通过现实的研究approaches.Key resultsThe顶部列表的50个基本问题被组织成四个一般性的主题：苔藓植物生物多样性和生物地理学;苔藓植物生态学，生理学和生殖生物学;苔藓植物保护和管理;和苔藓植物进化和系统学。这些主题包括9，19，14和8 questions，respectively.ConclusionsAlthough许多研究的挑战，确定不是新构思的，我们的地平线扫描练习已经建立了一个显着的基础，为未来的苔藓研究。我们建议分析和概念的战略和新的发展，在推进苔藓植物学的研究议程的潜在用途。
IntroductionHalf a century since the creation of the International Association of Bryologists, we carried out a review to identify outstanding challenges and future perspectives in bryology. Specifically, we have identified 50 fundamental questions that are critical in advancing the discipline.MethodsWe have adapted a deep-rooted methodology of horizon scanning to identify key research foci. An initial pool of 258 questions was prepared by a multidisciplinary and international working group of 32 bryologists. A series of online surveys completed by a broader community of researchers in bryology, followed by quality-control steps implemented by the working group, were used to create a list of top-priority questions. This final list was restricted to 50 questions with a broad conceptual scope and answerable through realistic research approaches.Key resultsThe top list of 50 fundamental questions was organised into four general topics: Bryophyte Biodiversity and Biogeography; Bryophyte Ecology, Physiology and Reproductive Biology; Bryophyte Conservation and Management; and Bryophyte Evolution and Systematics. These topics included 9, 19, 14 and 8 questions, respectively.ConclusionsAlthough many of the research challenges identified are not newly conceived, our horizon-scanning exercise has established a significant foundation for future bryological research. We suggest analytical and conceptual strategies and novel developments for potential use in advancing the research agenda for bryology.
