The archipelago has a temperate oceanic climate with high rainfall and humidity, and its landscapes form a heterogeneous mosaic of natural and human-modified habitats, from herbaceous to arboreal vegetation. The MOVECLIM - AZORES project focused on seven islands, excluding Graciosa and Corvo. \nSão Jorge Island is an island formed by fissural volcanism. The island is traversed by a central mountain range that reaches its highest point at Pico da Esperança (1,053 meters). Its coastline is predominantly rocky, with cliffs and the unique 'fajãs' at their base, which mark the island’s lowest elevations. Impoverished forms of native vegetation may be found in different areas, along the steep elevation gradient. In particular, the upper elevation areas include natural grasslands, quite rare in the archipelago.","designDescription":"Details of the collection protocol may be read in Borges et al. (2018) as the GIMS protocol for bryophytes. This protocol is based on the work of Ah-Peng and colleagues (Ah-Peng et al., 2012) adapted to Azorean conditions (Gabriel et al., 2014). It implies the complete survey of two plots of 10 m x 10 m at each chosen elevation, a local survey every 200 m elevation step. For each plot, three quadrats of 2 m x 2 m are randomly selected for further study. In each quadrat, eight substrates are sampled in microplots of 10 cm x 5 cm: rock, soil, humus, dead wood, bark at three heights from the soil (1-50 cm height; 51-100 cm; 101-200 cm), and leaves. In order to improve Bryophyte Collections from São Jorge Island and enrich the Herbarium of the University of the Azores, some ad-hoc collections were also made. From which some lichens were also collected.","relatedProjects":[],"abstract":"The MOVECLIM (Montane Vegetation as Listening Posts for Climate Change) project was designed to assess how climatic and environmental gradients shape the diversity and composition of bryophyte communities across tropical and oceanic mountains worldwide. In the Azores, the project applied a systematic, standardized, and stratified sampling design across altitudinal gradients on several islands. The protocol (GIMS—Gradient Integrative Monitoring of bryophyte Species) aimed to quantify patterns of species richness, abundance, and community turnover from lowland to montane zones, thereby providing comparable data across regions and taxa. Within the archipelago, MOVECLIM contributed substantially to documenting bryophyte diversity, highlighting the role of elevation, habitat type, and microclimatic variability in structuring communities and detecting early responses to climate change.\nWhile systematic, stratified sampling ensures consistency and allows rigorous statistical comparisons, it may underrepresent rare, localized, or microhabitat-specialist taxa that fall outside the predefined sampling plots. Ad hoc collections, conducted opportunistically in unexplored areas or habitats of special ecological interest, complement these structured datasets by expanding taxonomic coverage and capturing species otherwise missed by standardized designs. Such complementary sampling is particularly valuable in regions like the Azores, where steep environmental gradients, fine-scale habitat heterogeneity, and restricted distributions create patchy biodiversity patterns. Combining stratified and ad hoc approaches thus enhances the completeness and representativeness of island floristic inventories."},"samplingDescription":{"studyExtent":"The study was conducted by RG on the island of São Jorge, Azores archipelago, between 29 July and 2 August 2014, as part of the MOVECLIM project. Sampling covered a wide altitudinal range from 30 m (Fajã dos Cubres) to 1000 m (Pico da Esperança), across ten distinct areas, with the majority of samples collected within the São Jorge Natural Park. The focus was on bryophytes and lichens, encompassing a variety of habitats from lowland coastal areas to high-altitude zones.","sampling":"Sampling followed an ad-hoc method, a non-systematic approach based on field observations and researcher expertise (Broughton & Pocock, 2022). Sampling points were selected opportunistically to maximize micro-habitat diversity, including live tree trunks, dead wood, exposed rocks, and moist soils. This strategy allowed the collection of both common and rare species, ensuring a wide coverage of the bryophyte and lichen communities in the region.","qualityControl":"In the field, a small sample of the specimens was collected to ensure proper identification to the species level. In the lab, taxonomic identification followed standard protocols, utilizing both stereo and compound microscopes, and relevant literature, including taxonomic keys, specifically for mosses (Casas et al., 2006; Smith, 2004; Guerra, 2018) and liverworts/hornworts (Casas et al., 2009; Paton, 1999; Schumacker & Váňa, 2005). The lichens were verified by António Félix Rodrigues. Challenging specimens were sent to Dr. Cecília Sérgio, in LISU. The nomenclature follows the Azorean Biodiversity Portal (PBA, 2025), which was also used to assign the colonization status. The IUCN status was verified by the IUCN Red List (Hodgetts et al., 2019). All ecological and morphological data were recorded following Darwin Core standards.","methodSteps":["The protocol runs like this:\n1 - Samples were spotted in the field and manually collected using a knife and or tweezers.\n2 - Specimens were placed in labeled paper bags with unique codes, and in situ photographs were taken when possible.\n3 - Geographic coordinates, altitude, slope, exposure, substrate type, distance from ground, light, humidity, and surface roughness were recorded for each sample.\n4 - Samples were dried at room temperature, inside darkened rooms, and stored until laboratory analysis.\n5 - Taxonomic identification was performed in the laboratory using microscopes and relevant literature.\n6 - All ecological and morphological data were documented in the database of the Herbarium of the University of the Azores (AZU)."]},"countryCoverage":[],"collections":[{"name":"AZU_Section Bryophytes","identifier":"76349556-a70a-4ecc-88a7-cd085b6c875d","parentIdentifier":"AZU","specimenPreservationMethod":"DRIED","curatorialUnits":[{"typeVerbatim":"Packages","count":568,"deviation":3,"lower":0,"upper":0}]},{"name":"AZU_Section Lichens","identifier":"05075c4b-7a65-4ddf-ad40-53dcfedb9343","parentIdentifier":"AZU","curatorialUnits":[]}],"dataDescriptions":[],"dataLanguage":"eng","purpose":"The present dataset compiles records of bryophyte and lichen species collected ad hoc on São Jorge Island (Azores) in 2014, while also conducting stratified surveys of bryophytes using the GIMS protocol for bryophytes (Borges et al., 2018). The main objectives were to document the cryptogamic flora of São Jorge, an island that remains comparatively understudied within the archipelago, and to contribute to the completion of the Azorean biodiversity inventory. The dataset provides a baseline for future ecological and conservation research, supporting analyses of species distributions, habitat associations, and conservation status. Underlying hypotheses include that (i) species richness and composition vary along altitudinal and habitat gradients; (ii) native forests host higher proportions of endemic and indicator species; and (iii) São Jorge may harbour unrecorded or rare taxa due to its distinct climatic and geomorphological features.","introduction":"<p>Bryophytes—mosses, liverworts, and hornworts—are poikilohydric and avascular plants representing some of the earliest diverging lineages of land plants, playing a crucial role in terrestrial colonisation and evolution [Gabriel et al., 2019; Coelho et al., 2023]. They colonise a wide range of substrates (rock, bark, soil, leaves) and are highly responsive to environmental change, making them excellent bioindicators [Gabriel et al., 2019]. Lichens, in turn, are symbiotic associations between fungi and photosynthetic partners, contributing to nutrient cycling, soil formation, and ecosystem resilience, while also serving as sensitive indicators of pollution and habitat quality [Rodrigues et al., 2024].</p><p>The Azores archipelago, located in the North Atlantic, harbours remarkable cryptogamic diversity: 471 bryophyte taxa (about 10% endemic) and 788 lichen species, ten of which are endemic [Gabriel et al., 2010; Pinheiro da Costa &amp; Sérgio, 2025]. This richness results from the islands’ oceanic climate, volcanic origin, and high environmental heterogeneity. São Jorge, a narrow volcanic island characterised by steep relief and numerous Fajãs, provides a distinctive mosaic of microhabitats that remains poorly documented.</p>","gettingStarted":"The dataset fills a crucial spatial gap in the knowledge of Azorean cryptogamic diversity. It provides evidence for patterns of species richness and distribution along ecological gradients, and has potential future applications in conservation planning, climate-change monitoring, and habitat restoration. As such, the São Jorge dataset constitutes an essential reference for ongoing efforts to document, interpret, and conserve the cryptogamic flora of the Azores.","acknowledgements":"<p>The authors are deeply grateful to all those who contributed to making this work possible.
