The effect of stand structure and tree species composition on epiphytic bryophytes in mixed deciduous-coniferous forests of Western Hungary (2010, background): “Many studies comparing old-growth and managed stands found that epiphytes are very sensitive to management factors (Aude and Poulsen, 2000; Holz and Gradstein, 2005; McGee and Kimmerer, 2002).”
Phorophyte specificity and environmental parameters versus stochasticity as determinants for species composition of corticolous crustose lichen communities in the Atlantic rain forest of northeastern Brazil (2007, result): “Whereas similar results were found in other studies (Cornelissen and ter Steege 1989; Montfoort and Ek 1990; Wolf 1993a, b, c, 1994, 1995; Biedinger and Fischer 1996; Holz and Gradstein 2005), lichen community parameters correlated with bark nutrients and chemistry, parameters that were not studied ”
Disturbance effects on diversity of epiphytes and moths in a montane forest in Ecuador (2008, unknown): “However, Holz and Gradstein (2005) found that diversity of bryophytes in upper montane forest in Costa Rica increased with increasing disturbance, whereas that of lichens decreased.”
Niche assembly of epiphytic bryophyte communities in the Guianas: a regional approach (2009, background): “In a montane rain forest of Costa Rica, the composition of communities in height zone 1 is indeed more similar to community composition in logs than that in any other zone (2–6) (Holz & Gradstein, 2005).”
