About Monoclea gottschei Lindb.
Monoclea gottschei Lindb. is a liverwort species that belongs to the family Monocleaceae. A study conducted in tropical Ecuador found that this species is generally absent from urban environments, even though it grows in a nearby more undisturbed, pristine site. This pattern suggests that Monoclea gottschei is sensitive to human-caused (anthropogenic) effects, including exposure to wastewater and heavy metal pollution.
