Bryophytes respond to a variety of environmental factors, including tree species composition
and geological conditions, which are influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors …

Aquatic bryophytes can accumulate extremely high levels of chemical elements because of
their unique morphology and physiology which is markedly different from vascular plants …

Bryophytes have been used as indicators to evaluate atmospheric conditions in urban
areas. However, further research is needed for their effective application. In this study, we …

Epiphyllous liverworts form a special group of bryophytes that primarily grow on leaves of
understory vascular plants, occurring in constantly moist and warm evergreen forest in …

Although species composition, species diversity and the frequency of epixylic bryophytes is
quite well recognised in Central Europe, the patterns associated with their plant traits are still …

Riparian forests are among the most threatened ecosystem types worldwide. Their
exploitation and replacement by coniferous plantations affects species pools and contributes …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau stands as one of the most ecologically fragile and
biodiversity-rich regions globally. Understanding the distribution of different taxa and their …

Dam-induced disruption of the natural continuum of rivers has manifold consequences on
fluvial ecosystems, but how distinct plant groups and plant adaptive strategies can mediate …

Bryophytes are promising indicators for detecting the impact of rapid global change.
However, despite their great potential, they are still largely neglected, and their patterns …

Bryophytes occurring in riparian systems where they are seasonally submerged or
inundated are poorly documented in many parts of the world. The actual number of …
