The forest canopy is fundamentally important in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem
function. Cryptogamic epiphytes are dominant tree bole and canopy elements in temperate …

Rationale: Based on surface brushings and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, Hilty and
coworkers demonstrated microbiomes in the human lung characteristic of asthma and …

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 …

This review is a first attempt to combine and compare spatial distribution of the three main
water sources, rain, dew and humid air, with water-related traits of mainly epiphytic …

Here, we incorporate facilitation into trait‐based community assembly theory by testing two
mutually compatible facilitative mechanisms: changes in the environmental filter, causing …

The importance of structural complexity in forest ecosystems for ecosystem diversity has
been widely acknowledged. Tree microhabitat structures as indicators of biodiversity …

Species richness, community composition and ecology of cryptogamic epiphytes
(bryophytes, macrolichens) were studied in upper montane primary, early secondary and …

We examined the influence of tree-and stand-level conditions on lichen diversity on 143 ash
trees, varying in age from 11 to 140+ y, in 5 deciduous stands in southern Sweden. The …

The effects of fragmentation of the sub-humid low-boreal forest in agro environments on
bryophyte and lichen diversity were analyzed on 44 woodlots in three regions of northern …

We document for the first time the epiphytic composition and biomass of canopy emergent
trees from temperate, old-growth coastal rainforests of Chile (42° 30′ S). Through tree …
