      abstract = { [Objective] To study the characteristics of bryophytes in  subalpine cold zone and related transition zone. [Method]  The study was divided into scale A and scale B. On the  scale of A, specimens were collected from  Tongmai-Pailong-Dongjiu-Lulang-Sejila Pass-Nyingchi  Town-Bagi Village along the national Highway 318. A sample  plot was set for each 100 m altitude increase, and samples  were collected between each two sample plots as well. On  the scale of B, bryophyte specimens were collected and  studied in the fixed sample plot of the Tibetan Nyingchi  Alpine forest Ecosystem Research Observatory. [Result]  Through the sampling and collection of bryophytes in Sejila  Mountain, more than 3 000 specimens were identified with  the classical classification method. There were 216 species  of bryophytes belonging to 82 genera and 24 families. The  bryophytes in the study area differed obviously in  different vegetation types and slopes. The species richness  of Sabina saltuaria-Abiesgeorgei var. smithii forest was  the highest. The α diversity of Abiesgeorgei var. smithii  forest was the highest, followed by Sabina  saltuaria-Rhododendron forest, and that of alpine shrub was  the lowest. Diversity studies showed that the β diversity  of Sabina saltuaria-Rhododendron forest and Rhododendron  forest on the eastern slope was the largest, and those of  alpine shrub and Sabina saltuaria-Abiesgeorgei var. smithii  forest were the lowest. However, the β diversity of  Abiesgeorgei var. smithii forest on the western slope was  the highest, and those of alpine shrub and Abiesgeorgei  var. smithii forest were the lowest. [Conclusion] There are  obvious differences in the distribution of bryophytes on  the eastern and western slopes of Sejila Mountain of Tibet.   },
