Abstract  Spore germination and protonema growth of 12 species of mosses are studied at room temperature in response to soil lixivium, distilled water and running water. Vegetative fragments of 6 mosses are studied at the same time. The process of the spore germination and protonema growth are illustrated and taken microphotographs. The result shows that only spores of Aloina obliquifolia(C.Muell)Broth, Pterygoneurum subsessible (Brid.)Jur., Hilpertia velenovskyi (Schiffn.)Zand., Crossidium crassinere(De Notaris)Juratzka can't germinate. In stems and leaves cultivation, mosses except Hilpertia velenovsky (Schiffn.)Zand. produce plentiful protonema, which indicate that drought tolerance mosses have strong asexual reproduction ability. Finally analysis aspects such as spore morpha, germinative time, germinative polarity, germinative type, spore germination and protonema development, as well as reproductive and dispersal characters of fragments of stems and leaves, and discuss the reason that lead to fail at germination as well as the importance of asexual reproduction for individual establishment, with the expectation that supply theoretical and experimental data for reproductive function of mosses in crusts formation.
Key words:  mosses      spore germination      protonema development      reproductive properties
