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 ...

Species-specific interactions in avian–bryophyte dispersal networks

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Studies from seed plants have shown that animal dispersal fundamentally alters the success of plant dispersal, shaping community composition through time. Our understanding of this phenomenon in spore plants is comparatively limited.

Predictive mapping of bryophyte diversity associated with mature forests using LiDAR-derived indices in a strongly managed landscape

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Recovery of bryophyte diversity following silvicultural treatments depends upon the reestablishment of favorable microhabitats and microclimatic conditions.

Early Career Researchers advocate for raising the profile of bryophyte ecological research

Basic and Applied Ecology
Bryophyte 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 ...

Environmental determinants of bryophyte community change over time

Ecosphere
Environmental factors mediating community change over time have been well documented for vascular plants, but not for their non‐vascular relatives, bryophytes.

Exploring the driving factors of bryophyte assemblage distribution patterns in Tibet

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Plant 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 ...

Demographic history and gene flow in the peatmosses Sphagnum recurvum and Sphagnum flexuosum (Bryophyta: Sphagnaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Population size changes and gene flow are processes that can have significant impacts on evolution. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of geography to patterns of gene flow and population size changes in a pair of closely related ...

Response strategies of N-fixation by epiphytic bryophytes to water change in a subtropical montane cloud forest

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Water changes are predicted to regulate physiological activities of bryophytes characterized by poikilohydric gametophytes. In montane forest ecosystems, nitrogen(N)–fixing bryophyte–cyanobacteria associations are main N resources.

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 ...

Contribution to knowledge of the bryophyte flora of the western Alps (Italy, France) [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2006
The study is a contribution to knowledge of the bryophyte flora of the Alps. The huge bryophyte collection made during 1997 in the Western Alps is presented. A total of 152 bryophyte species were recorded, including 113 mosses and 39 hepatics.
