The elevation gradient of lichen species richness in Nepal (2009, background): “Relatively few studies on elevational richness patterns for lichens have been undertaken (Kessler 2000; Bruun et al. 2006; Grytnes et al. 2006) and among terrestrial photosynthetic organisms they are the only major group that has not yet been investigated in this respect in Nepal.”
Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India (2011, unknown): “…and potential evapotranspiration (typically used as measures of energy) and AET in combination with water availability (measures of primary productivity) are most commonly related to species richness of plants (O’Brien, 1993; Odland and Birks, 1999; Currie et al., 2004; Grytnes et al., 2006).”
Elevational Gradients in Species Richness (2010, background): “Rarely, species richness increases with elevation (e.g., for salamanders and lichens in Martin, 1958; Wake et al., 1992; Grytnes et al., 2006).”
A comparison of altitudinal species richness patterns of bryophytes with other plant groups in Nepal, Central Himalaya (2007, background): “Factors causing variation in species richness may differ between different organisms, resulting in different patterns (Kessler, 2000; Bhattarai & Vetaas, 2003; Grytnes et al., 2006).”
Orchid species richness along Himalayan elevational gradients (2011, background): “…topic in biodiversity research, and many studies have documented this relationship for a variety of taxa and geographical regions (e.g. Terborgh, 1977; Bhattarai et al., 2004; Jacquemyn et al., 2005; McCain, 2005, 2007; Oommen & Shankar, 2005; Rahbek, 2005; Grytnes et al., 2006; Grau et al., 2007).”
Contrasting patterns in elevational diversity between microorganisms and macroorganisms (2011, background): “Although there are studies documenting elevational patterns across trophic levels (e.g. Ormerod et al., 1994; Grytnes et al., 2006), no previous study has quantified diversity patterns along elevational gradients for the entire multi-trophic community, including microorganisms.”
The BIOKLIM Project: Biodiversity Research between Climate Change and Wilding in a temperate montane forest - The conceptual framework (2009, background): “Such studies have been presented for vascular plants (gryTnes 2003), bryophytes and lichens (gryTnes et al. 2006) and ferns (BHaTTarai et al. 2004).”
Bryophytes as potential indicators of forest integrity (2007, background): “For example, although trends in vascular plants and lichens were identified along an altitudinal gradient in Norway, no trend was detected in bryophyte species richness; this was attributed to differences in the relative importance of fine- versus coarsescale habitat variability ( Grytnes et al., 20”
