The effects of host tree identity on epiphyte lichen communities are a controversial issue, as
the results obtained in different forest environments studied are not consistent. We …

Using 642 forest plots from three regions in Germany, we analyzed the direct and indirect
effects of forest management intensity and of environmental variables on lichen functional …

The study of elevational gradients allows to draw conclusions on the factors and
mechanisms determining patterns in species richness distribution. Several earlier studies …

Based on hypotheses related to environmental filtering vs. stochastic community assembly,
we tested taxon-specific predictions regarding the relationships of alpha diversity, beta …

The aim of the present study is to update the list of bryophytes in the Cape Verde
