Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems?1 [PDF]
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 ...

Early Career Researchers advocate for raising the profile of bryophyte ecological research
Basic and Applied EcologyBryophyte research is severely underrepresented compared to vascular plant research, even though we know that bryophytes are crucial components of ecosystems and contribute significantly to ecosystem functions and processes, and thus to ecosystem ...

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 ...

Exploring the driving factors of bryophyte assemblage distribution patterns in Tibet
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionPlant communities are complex systems shaped by a combination of deterministic and stochastic ecological processes. Bryophytes are an essential component of plant diversity in natural ecosystems, yet our understanding of their community ecology needs to ...
