Altitude is a better predictor of the habitat requirements of epixylic bryophytes and lichens than the presence of coarse woody debris in mountain forests: a study in Poland

Damian Chmura et al.

Summary: Preserving the continuity of epiphytic and epixylic cryptogamic flora requires maintaining the natural characteristics of forest communities and implementing sustainable forest management. There is a correlation between altitude and species' environmental requirements, as well as between decomposition stage of deadwood and species' nutrient and moisture requirements. There are significant differences in habitat requirements among different species groups.

A systematic review on biomonitoring using lichen as the biological indicator: A decade of practices, progress and challenges

Azlan Abas

Summary: By analyzing 143 studies over the past decade, this paper provides insights into the current practices, progress, and challenges in biomonitoring using lichen. The study identifies two main techniques with varying research scope and types of parameters measured. The number of related studies in this field has significantly increased in recent years.

Climate and seasonality drive the richness and composition of tropical fungal endophytes at a landscape scale

Shuzo Oita et al.

Summary: Understanding how tree diversity is structured in tropical forests by abiotic factors, climate, and biotic interactions, with seasonality playing a key role at landscape scales, researchers found that endophyte richness varies negatively with temperature seasonality. The structure and composition of endophyte communities reflect both temperature seasonality and climate, highlighting the vital role of climate-related factors in shaping the hyperdiversity of these symbionts that form the foundations of tropical forest biodiversity.

Functional Traits in Lichen Ecology: A Review of Challenge and Opportunity

Christopher J. Ellis et al.

Summary: The functional trait approach in community ecology is valuable for analyzing species traits to reveal the processes underlying community assembly and understand ecosystem function and services. Lichens are a rich source of information for studying how traits influence community structure and function, offering opportunities for better integration into ecological studies.
