20.500.12556/DiRROS-16432 Bryophyte diversity, composition and functional traits in relation to bedrock and tree species composition in close-to-nature managed forests Bryophytes respond to a variety of environmental factors, including tree species composition and geological conditions, which are influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors. Bryophytes growing on a variety of substrates were identified in ICP Forests monitoring plots in a wide range of close-to-nature managed forests, from lowland to high mountain areas in Slovenia. Based on data on tree layer composition (broadleaves vs. conifers) and on bedrock and soil type (calcareous vs. siliceous bedrock), all study plots were classified into five groups representing forest types. Different ordination analyses and statistical tests were used to represent differences between forest types in bryophyte composition, richness and functional traits. Almost 200 bryophyte species were identified in managed forests, with the most common being Hypnum cupressiforme, Brachytheciastrum velutinum and Polytrichum formosum. Bryophyte species composition varied considerably along the tree species composition and edaphic gradients represented by the selected forest types. Bryophyte species richness was significantly higher on calcareous bedrock than on siliceous bedrock. The higher occurrence of rocks on the ground surface may significantly increase the availability of various microhabitats for bryophytes. Bedrock had a significant influence on the functional diversity and composition of bryophytes, while tree species composition had less influence. Bedrock and tree species composition are important drivers of bryophyte species composition and diversity at taxonomic and functional trait levels. The high diversity of bryophyte species in Slovenian forests can also be attributed to close-to-nature and sustainable forest management practices that preserve favourable microclimatic conditions in forest stands and maintain diverse substrates. mosses species richness functional diversity site conditions overstory sustainable managed forests European temperate zone mahovi rastiščni pogoji trajnostno upravljanje z gozdovi Evropski zmerni pas true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2023-04-05 13:04:24 2023-04-05 13:04:25 2024-08-05 12:13:44 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 5. 4. 2023; 865-882 iss. 4 Vol. 142 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*17 1612-4677 10.1007/s10342-023-01560-1 147899395 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10342-023-01560-1 1 2098d3e0-d399-11ed-b359-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=22119 RAZ_Kutnar_Lado_2023.pdf RAZ_Kutnar_Lado_2023.pdf 1 AB770D7FB1BA30EE261A3FD2D16C6AFF ea5093aeb9324bceea1aee5ccbf4862b8a56e47cc4161e13ed7d8aa3848fb12f 0a6e434f-846c-11ee-9ccb-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=23477 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
