Abstract
Summary The Northern Hepatic Mat is a community of liverworts which have an Atlantic distribution in Europe. Eleven of these are Northern Atlantic species, confined to the north and west of Britain and Ireland and rare elsewhere in the world. The number of these liverworts recorded in 10 km squares in Scotland can be predicted from the combined effects of rainfall, temperature, humidity and topography, which account for 43% of the variance. Several 10 km squares in Scotland which are apparently suitable for many of the 11 species have fewer records than the model predicts. It is likely that some of these are under-recorded and would be worth further bryological exploration.
