Appendix II: Bryophytes acronyms and frequency in the Portuguese reference sites and their classification (Class) as HD: hydrophytic (occurring always submerged), HG: hygrophytic (occurring in humid micro-habitats that never dry completely) or DT: drought tolerant (occurring in riverbeds or margins that seasonally are completely exposed and dry). Classification according to field expertise and bibliography (see Materials and Methods section). TF: frequency of species in the 116 reference sites; F(*); frequency of species in each of the group of reference sites classified in TWINSPAN as A, B, C, D, E, F and H)
