Species richness on oceanic islands has been related to a series of ecological factors including island size and isolation (i.e. the Equilibrium Model of Island Biogeography, EMIB), habitat diversity, climate (i.e., temperature and precipitation) and more recently island ontogeny (i.e. the General Dynamic Model of oceanic island biogeography, GDM). Here we evaluate the relationship of these fac...

The bryophyte flora of Vienna is documented only in parts. Old finds often appeared publications about Lower Austria; one study addressed the bryophytes inner city. Here, we present a Vienna, including historical reports and results recent investigations. From 1998 to 2023, recorded 329 taxa Viennese urban territory. Fifty-six these were liverworts, 273 mosses. Sixty-seven are new for Vienna. F...

We present a first complete overview of the bryophyte-lichen syntaxa in Netherlands, including diagnostic species and Red List status vegetations representing each (sub)association. The classification is based on more than 5000 Dutch vegetation relevés, majority recorded after year 2000. Whenever appropriate, we integrated bryophyte lichen syntaxonomy. list bryolichenosociological units consist...

Abstract Purpose Soil diaspore banks of bryophytes are poorly known in tundra grasslands, yet can be important for the maintenance local bryophyte assemblages. We examined effects fertilization and grazing exclusion on above-ground assemblages soil a grassland. Methods collected samples recorded cover from full-factorial experiment with NPK treatments (a Nutrient Network site NW Finland). were ...

What Is Productivity? In primary productivity of plants, solar energy is transformed to biomass. Using photosynthesis, green plants convert solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water to glucose and other carbon-based compounds and eventually to plant tissue. Gross primary productivity is the product of that photosynthetic fixation of carbon, whereas net primary productivity is the carbon that is a...

Bryophyte community structure was studied in ten streams in the Adirondack Mountains of New York and adjacent areas over an elevation range of 625 m. Species composition, including frequency and cover and possible niche parameters including elevation, water temperature, pH, flow rate, incident light, substrate type and height above or depth below water level were measured. An ordination was don...
