• Lichen diversity and red-listed lichen species relationships with tree species and diameter in wooded meadows (2010, background): “In hemiboreal and temperate forests, most accounts on tree species and lichen communities focus on specific tree species (e.g., Löbel et al. 2006; Johansson et al. 2007; Jüriado et al. 2009) or overall tree species composition in stands (Leppik and Jüriado 2008).”
• Factors influencing epiphytic bryophyte and lichen species richness at different spatial scales in managed temperate forests (2012, background): “The third important group of stand level variables influenced by management 74 modify the host and size related effects (Hauck and Javkhlan 2008; Mazimpaka et al. 2010; 76 Ranius et al. 2008).”
• Tree and stand level variables influencing diversity of lichens on temperate broad-leaved trees in boreo-nemoral floodplain forests (2008, background): “The composition of lichens and the effect of the bryophyte cover on epiphytic lichens depend also on the age, size, inclination and exposition of phorophytes (Sõmermaa 1972; Kantvilas and Jarman 2004; Belinchón et al. 2007; Johansson et al. 2007; Ranius et al. 2008).”
• Tree age is a key factor for the conservation of epiphytic lichens and bryophytes in beech forests. (2009, background): “The association with older trees may depend on various age-dependent factors that are difficult to separate, i.e. increased bark surface area, formation of age-related substrate qualities and a longer periods of time available for colonisation (Ranius et al. 2008).”
• The effect of stand structure and tree species composition on epiphytic bryophytes in mixed deciduous-coniferous forests of Western Hungary (2010, background): “A possible interpretation of this is that the mesotrophic, wrinkle-rich bark structure of oaks offers many shady, windproof and moist microhabitats, where bryophyte propagules can easily adhere to, while they are washed off by the rainfall from the trees of smooth bark (Barkman, 1958; Ranius et al.,”
