Khao Kheow open zoo covering a
total area of eight square kilometers is
situated in the foothills of the remaining forest
left in Chonburi province. The highest area
reaches 400 m asl. The zoo area consists of
three parts including 1) the presentation area,
in which wild animals live in; 2) the service
area, in which there are places to take a rest,
a food court, and the lake; and 3) the
education and research area, in which the wild
animals live within their natural environment.The education and research area covered by
dry evergreen forest includes 1.5 km nature
trail, Khao Kan Rom area, Khao Je Dee area,
and forest behind research centre (Khao
Kheow open zoo, 2009). Yet no study of
bryophytes has been taken place in the area
before. The aim of this study, therefore, was
to investigate the diversity of bryophytes of
Khao Kheow open zoo. List of bryophytes is
presented in this paper.
