Background Recent decades have seen a major surge in the study of interspecific variation
in functional traits in comparative plant ecology, as a tool to understanding and predicting …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Bryophyte Biology provides an extensive overview of the hornworts, liverworts, and mosses;
diverse groups of land plants that occupy a great variety of habitats throughout the world …

If environmental stress provides conditions under which positive relationships between plant
species richness and productivity become apparent, then species that seem functionally …

The Allee effect, or inverse density dependence at low population sizes, could seriously
impact preservation and management of biological populations. The mounting evidence for …

The impact of reduced light conditions as an indirect effect of nitrogen (N) deposition was
determined on three mosses in a montane ecosystem, where sedge and grass cover …

We studied the resilience of southeastern Norwegian old‐growth Picea abies forest floor
vegetation to experimental disturbance. Five treatments, differing in depth of removal of …

Herbivory and climate are key environmental drivers, sha** ecosystems at high latitudes.
Here, we focus on how these two drivers act in concert, influencing the high arctic tundra …

Growth and decomposition of Sphagnum controls turnover of a large global store of soil
organic carbon. We investigated variation in morphological and physiological traits of …

This review provides an overview of chemical, anatomical and morphological changes in
bryophytes in response to changes in light availability and assesses the role of these …
