About this document
Ecology of Bryophytes Along Altitudinal and Latitudinal Gradients by felix quivio is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study of bryophyte ecology along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients in Chilean forests. The author studied 28 forest plots between sea level and the tree line between 38-42°S latitude. Bryophytes were used as indicators of ecological conditions like humidity since they rely solely on atmospheric water and nutrients. Parameters measured included epiphytic bryophyte cover, percentage of liverworts, life forms, and bryophyte biomass. Results showed moderate values in lowlands, pea
