This study describes the quantitative preferences of epixylic bryophytes for decay stages, log size and habitat type. The two habitats investigated were zonal (situated on plateaux without extreme microclimatic conditions) and ravine-like near-natural beech stands. Preferences of 30 bryophyte species are described using logistic regression modelling. The species pool differed between habitat types. In the ravine-like forests more species are found. Regionally rare epixylic species (mainly liverworts) were limited to these forests. The species richness of individual logs was also higher in the ravine-like than in the zonal forests and the proportion of logs of all sizes colonized by bryophytes was higher in the former. The species were classified into four categories on the basis of their preference for decay stages: strict epixylics, indifferent species, preferential epixylics and epiphytes. The epixylics and preferential epixylics prefer advanced decay stages while the latter extend further into earlier decay stages than strict epixylics. Common epixylic species have a wider tolerance to decay stage than rare ones. Probabilities of species occurrence increase with log size, more strongly in zonal stands than in ravines. A simple successional scheme for bryophyte succession on dead wood is proposed on the basis of the observed species responses.
