Dale Vitt’s research initially focused on bryophytes, and in particular moss systematics. He conducted field work in various corners of the world, from the high Arctic to Subantarctic islands. By the mid 1980s Dale developed his interests in wetland biology, contributing critical studies to further our understanding on the ecological distribution of species, the classification of wetland types, peatland productivity, decomposition and restoration. <br />Dale served as president of the American Bryological and Lichenological Society and as editor of it’s flagship journal The Bryologist from the summer of 1995 to the summer of 2005. He also served on the Editorial Committee of Flora of North America, Bryophytes, as well as several international journals. He was also actively engaged in IAB, as Secretary/Treasurer of IAB for 19 years (1987-2005), during which time he proposed the Spruce and Hattori awards for the Association and was the lead author on the Compendium of Bryology (Vitt et al. 1985).<br />He has authored, edited or contributed to 46 books and (co)authored 259 peer reviewed articles, 42 non-peer reviewed reports, symposium proceeding and maps, and 16 book reviews. He also compiled and distributed 3 exsiccata.</li> <li><strong>Rod Seppelt</strong> 2017. Dr. Seppelt is recognized for 40 years of outstanding contributions to our knowledge of the bryophyte flora of Australia, Antarctica, subantarctic islands, New Zealand, as well as Arctic regions but also, among others, to bryophyte ecophysiology, biogeography, biochemistry, and paleo-biodiversity. His remarkable accomplishments are shared through numerous publications and rest in part on 35,000 collections of bryophytes, lichens, fungi and algae that are now housed in the Tasmanian Herbarium in Hobart (HO). He also demonstrated continuous support to bryologists and relentless advocacy of bryology.</li> <li><strong>Rob Gradstein</strong> 2013</li> <li><strong>Támas Pócs</strong> 2011</li> <li><strong>Lewis Anderson</strong> 2005</li> <li><strong>Riclef Grolle</strong> 1999</li> <li><strong>Sinske Hattori</strong> 1993</li> <li><strong>Bill Steere</strong> 1987</li> <li><strong>Yoshinori Asakawa</strong> and <strong>Geneva Sayre</strong> 1983</li> </ul> </div> <div>________________________________________________________________________________</div> <h3 id="richardspruce"><a href="#richardspruce"><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Richard Spruce Award</strong></span></a></h3> <div id="post-body-3352628704940015755"> <ul> <li>Award to recognize one IAB member who has made important contributions to bryology, within the first 25 years of their career (dated from their first bryological publication).</li> <li>Award can only be received once.</li> <li>Given at every IAB meeting not held in conjunction with The International Botanical Congress (two of the three meetings every six years).</li> <li>Selection Committee chaired by Vice President Number 1, with two members appointed by the IAB Council at each IAB meeting.</li> <li>Award consists of plaque and invitation to present opening address at next IAB meeting.</li> </ul> <p>Recipients:</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="http://bryology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AW_Fenton_IMG_9879-scaled.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-2964 alignright" src="http://bryology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AW_Fenton_IMG_9879-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="http://bryology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AW_Fenton_IMG_9879-300x200.jpg 300w, http://bryology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AW_Fenton_IMG_9879-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http://bryology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AW_Fenton_IMG_9879-768x511.jpg 768w, http://bryology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AW_Fenton_IMG_9879-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, http://bryology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AW_Fenton_IMG_9879-2048x1362.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Nicole Fenton</strong>, 2023. Nicole Fenton’s work focuses on fundamental questions related to<br />bryophyte biology and conservation, and in particular, on bryophyte dispersal and community assembly in North American boreal forests. Her work has substantially contributed to our understanding of the roles of bryophytes in ecosystem functions, in both natural and managed landscapes. She developed and standardized the use of plant functional traits in bryology, a field of inquiry in which bryophytes have been underrepresented. She has published 109 peer-reviewed papers and four book chapters, which have gathered close to 3900 citations. Her work has appeared in various international journals reaching a broad audience.</li> <li><strong>Alain Vanderpoorten</strong>, 2021. Alain Vanderpoorten (University of Liège, Belgium) published nearly 200 studies spanning the fields of taxonomy, molecular biology, floristics, biogeography, ecology, and evolutionary biology, that have gathered about 4,500 citations. Most of his accomplishments emerge from collaborations with bryologists throughout the world and have been published in prestigious international journals, both bryological and broad spectrum, including Nature Communications, New Phytologist, Systematic Biology, Ecology Letters, and Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences. His early work focused on pleurocarps systematics and primarily Amblystegiaceae, particularly on ecology, population genetics, systematics, and character evolution. He then moved to bryogeography, leading major advances in understanding the processes that underpin long known distribution patterns of bryophytes. His highly innovative research on the settling velocity of spores has been instrumental in linking spore traits to dispersability and hence ranges in bryophytes. In addition, in 2009 Alain has co?authored a comprehensive and extremely useful textbook on bryology “Introduction to Bryophytes”, currently available as an e-book. Other examples of his many important contributions to bryology include a two-volume (1,000 pages) atlas of the bryophytes of Wallonia (Belgium) and co-authorship of “A miniature world in decline: European Red List of Mosses, Liverworts and Hornworts”. He serves as an associate editor of several journals, such as Journal of Biogeography, Taxon, The Bryologist, Journal of Bryology, Botany Letters, and Acta Botanica Gallica. Alain has supervised 12 Ph.D. students and serves on many advisory committees. He has also been honoured with several prestigious national awards in Belgium, among them, National Botanic Garden of Belgium E. Van Rompaey Award in 1997, Royal Academy of Belgium Plant Biology Award in 2002, and Royal Academy of Belgium Emile Laurent Award in 2008. </li> <li><strong>Matthew Renner</strong>, 2019. Matt Renner has made extraordinary contributions to our knowledge of bryology, extending to evolutionary biology in general. His main focus has been on systematics and taxonomy and evolutionary biology, as well as ecology, and translating this into action into conservation.</li> <li><strong>Lars Hedenäs,</strong> 2015. Lars Hedenäs, senior curator at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, is one of the world’s leading muscologists. His scientific publications (> 100) span a period of about 25 years and are truly outstanding. Lars is a specialist of pleurocarpous mosses and has published on numerous different aspects of this group, including classical taxonomy and nomenclature, molecular phylogeny, population genetics, reproductive biology, morphological adaptation, biogeography and ecology. Probably the most impressive aspects of his research are the broad and innovative approach to the study of bryophytes. His work, often done in cooperation with others worldwide, stands as a model for the younger generation how to do bryological research. Among favourite papers of him, it will be necessary to mention his excellent monograph of Amblystegiaceae in Flora Neotropica and his recent paper in Taxon (in collaboration with a large team of bryologists) on <i>Homalothecium sericeum</i>: “Three species for the price of one within the moss <i>Homalothecium sericeum</i>” (Taxon 63: 249-257. 2014). The latter paper impressively demonstrates how to study of the so-called “cryptic species” that are increasingly being reported in bryophytes, by using detailed morphological and genetic analyses. These are just two examples; many more titles could be added. Congratulations to Lars Hedenäs for his splendid and major contributions to bryology in the first 25 years of his career. In the IAB he has been very active as a council member, an editor of The Bryological Times and a member of the bryophyte conservation group. It could be hardly think of a candidate more suitable for the Spruce award than Lars!</li> <li><strong>Bernard Goffinet</strong> 2013</li> <li><strong>Karen Renzaglia</strong> 2011</li> <li><strong>Jonathan Shaw</strong> 2009</li> <li><strong>Jeffrey G.

Volume I. Anthocérotes et Hépatiques”. This first volume of the bryophyte flora of France covers 300 species, most of which occur elsewhere on the continent (and beyond)! The flora includes a general illustrated (drawings and photography) introduction, illustrated keys, individual illustrated descriptions, ecological and geographic distribution, and notes. Photography is exemplary and abundant throughout this volume of 651 pages.</li> <li><strong>Michael Lüth</strong> (Freiburg, Germany) in 2021 for his <i>Mosses of Europe – A Photographic Flora</i><i>. </i>This amazing 3 volume book illustrates almost all the European moss species (around 1250 taxa) and is the first such comprehensive treatment for the European moss flora. Each species is illustrated by outstanding macro- and microscopic photographs that show both morphological characters and the species habit in a full-page format. The illustrations are of high quality and the selection of characters shown usually includes the critical characters needed for a correct identification, which makes this book a great complement to the available regional or national moss keys, both for amateurs and for professional bryologists. Michael Lüth has compiled the book almost on his own, from searching and capturing the species in their natural habitat, to preparing microscopic slides illustrating diagnostic morphological features. This monumental work will undoubtedly stand out for many years as the most complete, attractive, and useful photographic guide that will serve the bryological community as well as promote awareness of bryophytes and their diversity to the general public. </li> <li><strong>Juan Guerra</strong> (University of Murcia, Spain) in 2019 for <em>Flora Briofítica Ibérica (Iberian Bryophyte Flora), Volumen VI (Hypnales).</em>Juan Guerra & Montserrat Brugués (general coordinators of <em>Flora Briofítica Ibérica</em>)<strong>. </strong>Juan Guerra, María-Jesús Cano & Montserrat Brugués (editors of <em>Volume VI</em>). Published by Universidad de Murcia & Sociedad Española de Briología Murcia, Spain (2018). This is the sixth and last volume of the Project Flora Briofitica Iberica/Iberian Bryophyte Flora, led from its beginning by Prof. Juan Guerra. His tirelessly work, and his leadership and coordination capacity to join the efforts of a high-quality bryological team, finally has come to a fruitful end. This last volume was published in 2018, completing a project that began in 2003. The complete Flora comprised the mosses of a vast and biogeographically fascinating territory: peninsular Spain and Portugal, Andorra, and the Balearic Islands.

Dr. Zhang has worked tirelessly to document, communicate, and promote the diversity of bryophytes in China and Hong Kong. We congratulate Li Zhang for his exemplary contributions to Southeast Asian bryology.</li> <li><strong>Juan Larrain</strong>, 2019. Dr. Larraín has had an active field program in Chile for many years, with an emphasis on Chiloé Island, and contributions to the flora New Caledonia and Fiji. Dr. Larrain has worked on both mosses and hepatics. For many years, he has done general bryophyte identification with an emphasis on Chile. His doctoral dissertation was a revision of the Latin American species of<i>Racomitrium</i>along with a phylogeny of the genus. On his Field Museum post-doc he worked on the genus <i>Frullania</i>. His work stands out because he uses both specimen-based morphology as well as molecular data to reach conclusions. He actively publishes his results in peer-reviewed journals. Most recently Juan has had post-doctoral funding from the Chilean government. Throughout his time in Chile he has actively worked to improve the herbarium and its holdings at the University of Concepción.</li> <li><strong>Wagieh El-Saadawi</strong> 2017. Dr. El-Saadawii has made significant contributions to our knowledge of the bryophyte flora of the Mediterranean area, in particular of Egypt, Kuwait, UAE, Sudan, Libya, and has continuously promoted bryology in Egypt, by mentoring students and establishing a bryophyte herbarium at Ain Shams University (CAIA).</li> <li><strong>Rui-Liang Zhu</strong>, 2015. Rui-Liang Zhu, curator at the Biological History Museum (HSNU), and Director of the Department of Plant Sciences, East China Normal University, is one of the world’s leading liverwort experts. His expertise on the morphological evolution, diversity, taxonomy and systematics of liverworts is vast. He is especially recognized as a worldwide authority on the enigmatic leafy liverwort family Lejeuneaceae, which represents the largest liverwort family. During the last two decades he has published over 170 scientific publications, including the beautiful monograph of <i>Lopholejeunea </i>(Spruce) Schiffn. (Lejeuneaceae). Besides his scientific love for bryophytes he is also engaged in securing bryophyte resources in threatened habitats and promotes bryology as president of the Bryological Society of China as well as vice-president of IAB. In addition, he serves the bryological community as associate editor of various scientific journals such as Cryptogamie Bryologie as well as the flagship journal of IAB, Bryophyte Diversity and Evolution.</li> <li><strong>Celia Sergio</strong> 2013</li> <li><strong>Noris Salazar Allen</strong> 2011</li> <li><strong>Claudio Delgadillo</strong> 2009</li> </ul> <p>________________________________________________________________________________</p> </div> <div> </div> <div> <h3 id="stanleygreene"><a href="#stanleygreene"><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Stanley Greene Award</span></strong></a></h3> <div> </div> <div id="post-body-7312961220181579544"> <p>(an amount of money to be determined biennially by the Secretary/Treasurer)</p> <ul> <li>Awarded to persons submitting a proposal for research in Bryology.</li> <li>Proposals will be called for in January of the year of biennial IAB meeting by an announcement in The Bryological Times.</li> <li>Given every two years at IAB meetings.</li> <li>Chaired by Secretary-Treasurer, with two members appointed by council.</li> <li>Award amount to be determined biennially by the Secretary/Treasurer</li> </ul> <p>Recipients:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Daniel Tucker,</strong> 2023 (Uni. of Victoria, BC, Canada).
