Large-Scale Illegal Bryophyte Harvesting in Protected Areas of East-Central Europe, Hungary: Conservation Implications [PDF]
PlantsThis study provides the first detailed documentation of large-scale illegal bryophyte harvesting within a European nature conservation site. Forested areas of Northeast Hungary are recurrently affected by such activities, with several cases already ...

Bryophyte Community Composition and Diversity as Bioindicators of Elevational Zonation in Tropical Rainforests in Hainan Island, China [PDF]
PlantsAlthough mountain vertical vegetation belts are key in revealing the response to climate change and the maintenance mechanism of biodiversity, traditional field surveys and remote sensing methods face significant limitations in the structurally complex ...

Positive effects of forest fragmentation per se on bryophyte diversity in subtropical fragmented forests: evidence from land-bridge islands [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionHabitat fragmentation (Sensu lato) represents a landscape-scale process involving both habitat loss and the breaking apart of habitat (habitat fragmentation per se).

Canopy Height and Epiphytic Bryophytes Shape Fungal Communities in a Temperate Rainforest [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFungal communities contribute to plant ecology and evolution in forested ecosystems. Their diverse interactions with associated host plants can vary along abiotic and biotic gradients, but these gradients are poorly understood in complex natural ...

Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems?1
Arctic Science, 2022 The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental changes at the species level, but because bryophyte species are relatively ...

Plant–plant interactions change during succession on nurse logs in a northern temperate rainforest
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Plant–plant interactions change through succession from facilitative to competitive. At early stages of succession, early‐colonizing plants can increase the survival and reproductive output of other plants by ameliorating disturbance and stressful ...
