Elevation‐dependent soil and plant responses to a decade of warming and species removal

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how ecosystems retain or release carbon under warming is a critical challenge. Dominant plant species, which contribute the most biomass, can mediate ecosystem responses to warming by modifying microclimate and nutrient cycling. To investigate how warming and shifts in plant dominance interact to affect carbon and nutrient dynamics, we ...

Temperature-driven vapor pressure deficit structures forest bryophyte communities across the landscape [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) controls local plant physiology and global vegetation productivity. However, at ecologically crucial intermediate spatial scales, the role of VPD variability in forest bryophyte community assembly and the ...

Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Biogeographic traits of the bryophyte flora of Serbia [PDF]

Botanica Serbica, 2019
The biogeography of bryophytes present in Serbia is analysed for the first time in this paper. Bryophyte spectra in different regions and units within the country are compared with each other, as well as with the Southeast European spectrum.

Potentially toxic element accumulation of bryophyte taxa in contaminated soils at Tak Province, Thailand

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Three sampling locations, Mae Sot National Forest, Pha Daeng waterfall, and agricultural land in Pha De, were representative locations in contaminated areas for determining bryophyte communities and their potentially toxic element (PTE) accumulation ...

Threatened bryophytes of the neotropical rain forest : a status report [PDF]

, 1992
Tropical deforestation, inevitably, leads to the local loss of bryophyte species. Recent studies show that the degree of species loss may vary considerably and depends on the scale or amount of habitat change that has occurred.

Effects of forest management on bryophyte species richness in Central European forests [PDF]

, 2018
We studied the effect of three major forest management types (unmanaged beech, selection beech, and age class forests) and stand variables (SMId, soil pH, proportion of conifers, litter cover, deadwood cover, rock cover and cumulative cover of woody ...

The most threatened plants receive the least scientific attention

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants sustain all life, providing the energetic and structural basis of ecosystems, but they face a growing risk of extinction. Reversing this decline requires an understanding of how scientific knowledge is distributed among species, and identification of the biases and gaps that hinder effective responses to the threats they face. However, we reveal

The Vertical Structure of Rich Fen Vegetation and the Development of Bryophyte Cover

Diversity
The vertical structure of fen vegetation has received little attention, despite its obvious relevance to interactions between herbaceous plants and bryophytes.

An evaluation of the bryophyte flora of the Azores [PDF]

, 2005
The diversity of bryophytes on the different islands of the Azores varies much between 104 and 324 species. Attempts have been made to explain the heterogenity of the bryoflora. There is a correlation between species numbers and age of the islands in the
