• Tree age relationships with epiphytic lichen diversity and lichen life history traits on ash in southern Sweden (2007, result): “This is in accordance with the study by Löbel, Snäll, and Rydin (2006) which indicated an area per se effect for epiphytic bryophytes, whereas for lichens the random sampling model was more appropriate.”
• Lichen diversity and red-listed lichen species relationships with tree species and diameter in wooded meadows (2010, background): “Poor species-area relationships among lichens may indicate species turnover rather than accumulation during the lifetime of the host tree (Löbel et al. 2006; Johansson et al. 2007).”
• The influence of tree age and microhabitat quality on the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks (2008, background): “These factors are in turn affected by the surrounding vegetation, bark condition, aspect, wind exposure, height above ground, and trunk inclination (e.g. Billings & Drew 1938; Hale 1955; Barkman 1958; Bates 1992; Moe & Botnen 2000; Loppi & Frati 2006).”
• Tree and stand level variables influencing diversity of lichens on temperate broad-leaved trees in boreo-nemoral floodplain forests (2008, background): “However, in a similar study conducted in boreo-nemoral forests of the same bio-geographical region and focusing on almost the same trees species, no significant relationship was found between the above parameters (Löbel et al. 2006).”
• The importance of host tree age, size and growth rate as determinants of epiphytic lichen diversity in boreal spruce forests (2009, background): “In a study looking at the relationship between epiphytic lichen diversity and tree size of broad leaved trees there were no relationship between tree size and number of epiphytic lichens (Löbel et al. 2006).”
• The effects of stand structure on ground-floor bryophyte assemblages in temperate mixed forests (2009, background): “For epiphytic species the presence of large trees is favourable, because of the increase in the number of microhabitats (McGee and Kimmerer 2002), the changes in bark structure (Gustaffson and Eriksson 1995) and elongation in colonization time (Snall et al. 2003; Löbel et al. 2006).”
• Factors influencing epiphytic bryophyte and lichen species richness at different spatial scales in managed temperate forests (2012, background): “Epiphytes, especially 355 lichens, are very sensitive to the landscape pattern (fragmentation and isolation) of their 356 potential habitat (Buckley 2011; Löbel et al. 2006a,b; Snäll et al. 2004).”
• The distribution of epiphytic bryophyte and lichen species in relation to phorophyte characters in Latvian natural old-growth broad leaved forests (2008, background): “Tree bark pH is known to be associated with epiphytic cryptogam species richness (Weibull, 2001; van Herk, 2001; Mežaka & Znotiņa, 2006; Löbel et al., 2006).”
