Impact of land-use intensity and productivity on bryophyte diversity in agricultural grasslands. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
While bryophytes greatly contribute to plant diversity of semi-natural grasslands, little is known about the relationships between land-use intensity, productivity, and bryophyte diversity in these habitats.

Nest building in titmice Paridae: Selectivity in bryophyte use [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
In many bird species, reproductive success is dependent on nest quality. However, detailed data on nest composition are scarce, and quantitative analyses have generally used only rough categories, without species identification.

Associations between Epiphytic Bryophyte and Woody Plant Species in a Temperate Deciduous Broad-Leaved Forest

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Determining whether epiphytic bryophytes have ecological preferences for woody plants remains difficult. Here, our primary aim in developing the torus-translation test is to evaluate the associations between epiphytic bryophytes and woody plants at the ...

Effects of bryophyte and lichen cover on permafrost soil temperature at large scale [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2016
Bryophyte and lichen cover on the forest floor at high latitudes exerts an insulating effect on the ground. In this way, the cover decreases mean annual soil temperature and can protect permafrost soil.

Arable bryophytes from Northeastern Slovenia with new and interesting national records [PDF]

open access: yesBotanica Serbica, 2023
We investigated the arable bryophyte flora in the Northeastern region of Slovenia. We found three new bryophyte taxa for Slovenia: Bryum violaceum, Dicranella staphylina and Hydrogonium consanguineum var. kurilense. The presence of the regionally extinct

Stand Structure and Substrate Diversity as Two Major Drivers for Bryophyte Distribution in a Temperate Montane Ecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Elucidating the major drivers of bryophyte distribution is the first step to protecting bryophyte diversity. Topography, forest, substrates (ground, tree trunks, roots, rocks, and rotten wood), and spatial factor, which factors are the major drivers of ...

Phylogeny and diversification of bryophytes [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2004
The bryophytes comprise three phyla of embryophytes that are well established to occupy the first nodes among extant lineages in the land‐plant tree of life. The three bryophyte groups (hornworts, liverworts, mosses) may not form a monophyletic clade, but they share life history features including dominant free‐living gametophytes and matrotrophic ...

The Bryophyte Flora of Vienna

open access: yesPlants, 2023
The bryophyte flora of Vienna is documented only in parts. Old finds often appeared in publications about Lower Austria; only one study addressed the bryophytes of the inner city. Here, we present a bryophyte flora of Vienna, including historical reports and the results of recent investigations.

Differences in use of bryophyte species in tit nests between two contrasting habitats: an urban park and a forest

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2021
A considerable number of avian species tend to use bryophytes as nest construction material, but the selectivity of birds in their bryophyte use in nest construction in relation to the availability of particular mosses in individual territories remains ...

The Utility of Ground Bryophytes in the Assessment of Soil Condition in Heavy Metal-Polluted Grasslands

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Bryophytes are commonly used in biomonitoring heavy metal pollution, whereas the bioindicative value of bryophyte communities is a less known issue. The aim of the present study is to recognize the utility of the bryophyte community’s structure in the ...
