PLZ RATE THIS BRAINLIEST :)
Explanation:
Bryophyte proves to be a potential bio-indicator of air pollution. The habitat diversity, structural
simplicity, totipotency, rapid rate of multiplication and high metal accumulation capacity make
bryophytes an ideal organism for pollution studies. The decline and absence of bryophyte
populations especially epiphytes is a phenomenon primarily induced by air pollution caused by
gaseous and particulate pollutants. Bryophytes are reliable indicators and monitors of air pollution
as they are easy to handle and show a vast range of specific sensitivity and visible symptoms to
pollutants greatly exceeding that of higher plants.
