• The elevation gradient of lichen species richness in Nepal (2009, result): “…lichen species richness in Nepal varies strongly with elevation (Figs 1A & B) in line with previous findings for vascular plants (Grytnes & Vetaas 2002; Vetaas & Grytnes 2002; Bhattarai & Vetaas 2003; Bhattarai et al. 2004) including orchids (Acharya 2008), and for bryophytes (Grau et al. 2007).”

The Cape flora exhibits more species than can be expected from its latitude, and its diversity is comparable with many areas within the humid tropics (LINDER 2003).

• Orchid species richness along Himalayan elevational gradients (2011, background): “A species is defined as being present in each 100-m elevational interval between its upper and lower elevational limits by interpolation, as in Vetaas & Grytnes (2002) and Bhattarai et al. (2004). For example, Neottia nepalensis, which is distributed from 2900 to 3800 m a.”
• A comparison of altitudinal species richness patterns of bryophytes with other plant groups in Nepal, Central Himalaya (2007, background): “A marked decrease in bryophyte richness towards the lowlands has also been found in other vegetation types in Nepal (Bhattarai & Vetaas, 2003, 2006; Bhattarai et al., 2004).”
• Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India (2011, positive): “Climatically active watereenergy variables predicted tree species richness (Carpenter, 2005) and MI influenced flowering plants and ferns (Bhattarai and Vetaas, 2003; Bhattarai et al., 2004) in the Central Himalayan elevation gradient.”
