Properties relevant to use:
Calypogeia suecica is a small, thallose liverwort that grows on moist, shaded substrates in temperate woodlands and peatlands. Its simple morphology and ability to be cultured on sterile agar make it convenient for laboratory handling. The complete mitochondrial genome of the species has been sequenced and published (Liu et al., 2020, *Mitochondrial DNA Part B*), and the data are deposited in a public nucleotide database. This reference genome provides a comparative resource for mitochondrial gene content, intron structure, and genome architecture among liverworts, informing studies on the early evolution of organelle genomes in land plants. In addition, transcriptome shotgun assembly data generated by the “Liverwort Phylogenomics” consortium (2021) are available in the Sequence Read Archive, supplying a genetic resource for phylogenetic reconstructions and comparative transcriptomics across bryophytes. All documented applications of *C. suecica* are limited to these scientific research contexts; no commercial, industrial, or craft products have been reported.

Standards and regulation:
Because *Calypogeia suecica* is not harvested or traded, it is not subject to product‑specific standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, or EN) nor to food, cosmetic, or timber regulations. Any activity involving the species is governed solely by general research ethics and biosafety protocols required for working with non‑pathogenic bryophytes in laboratory settings.

Sustainability and sourcing:
The liverwort is not collected for commercial use, and consequently there are no established harvest quotas or trade chains. Populations occur in habitats that are protected under regional conservation frameworks (e.g., the European Union Habitats Directive) where applicable. As a result, the primary conservation concern is the preservation of its native wet‑woodland and peatland environments, rather than over‑exploitation of the plant itself. No specific sustainability assessments are required for the species due to its non‑commercial status.
