Niche assembly of epiphytic bryophyte communities in the Guianas: a regional approach (2009, background): “Explicitly, if water availability in FG is more constant than it is in the other sites, the chances of the successful establishment of propagules and bryophyte growth are higher, since external water is an important determinant for photosynthesis and growth (Proctor, 2000; Leon-Vargas et al., 2006).”
Desiccation-tolerance in bryophytes: a review (2007, background): “The relative humidity data collected by Engwald in the La Carbonera-San Eusebio forest near Mérida in the Venezuelan Andes can be analyzed in a similar way, treating continuous 100% r.h. as ‘‘wet’’ (equivalent to ‘‘precipitation falling’’), and ,100% r.h. as ‘‘dry’’ (León-Vargas et al. 2006).”
