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).”
Understory vegetation in old-growth and second-growth Tsuga canadensis forests in western Massachusetts (2009, background): “…(e.g., coarse woody debris, pit and mound 8 topography) and microclimatic conditions (e.g., deeply shaded microsites), that are typically less 9 common or absent from second-growth systems (Harmon and Franklin 1989, Peterson and 10 Campbell 1993, Chen et al. 1995, McGee and Kimmerer 2002).”
Factors influencing epiphytic bryophyte and lichen species richness at different spatial scales in managed temperate forests (2012, background): “Over-mature trees host more diverse epiphyte assemblages and many species are 67 significantly associated to them (McGee and Kimmerer 2002; Nascimbene et al. 2009a).”
The effect of stand structure and tree species composition on epiphytic bryophytes in mixed deciduous-coniferous forests of Western Hungary (2010, background): “In studies of different forest types and site conditions at regional and continental scales, the effects of climatic and edaphic factors overwhelm that of host species (McGee and Kimmerer, 2002; Peck, 1997; Slack, 1976; Schmitt and Slack, 1990).”
Species richness patterns and metapopulation processes – evidence from epiphyte communities in boreo‐nemoral forests (2006, background): “Tree size is not independent of habitat quality (e.g. McGee and Kimmerer 2002) and for the epiphyte community, consisting of species differing in habitat requirements, it is not surprising that we failed to find a simple relationship between tree size and species numbers.”
