To understand how diversity is distributed in space is a fundamental aim for optimizing future
species and community conservation. We examined in parallel species richness and beta …

The data available so far indicate that the photosynthetic and relative growth rates of
bryophytes are 10% of those reported for tracheophytes. By examining the existing literature …

Introduction Half a century since the creation of the International Association of Bryologists,
we carried out a review to identify outstanding challenges and future perspectives in …

Bryophytes are sensitive to changing atmospheric conditions. Potentially, typical alpine
bryophytes are valuable indicators of climate change for alpine ecosystems. However, little …

We explored the patterns of beta-diversity of forest epiphytic bryophytes and lichens along
elevational gradients to elucidate the potential impact of climate change on these …

Epiphytic orchids are common in subtropical forests, but little is known about the factors that
determine their diversity. We surveyed two sites (north-facing Phulchowki and south-facing …

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 …

Aim Dead wood‐inhabiting bryophyte communities are formed by several important factors.
Besides the amount, quality and continuity of the substrate, there are also external factors …

Mosses are particularly susceptible to climate change owing to their close biological and
ecological associations with climatic conditions. However, there is a limited understanding of …

Deadwood is a habitat for numerous biota and serves as an indicator of forest biodiversity.
Bryophytes significantly contribute to deadwood communities and epixylic bryophytes are …
