• Bryophytes as potential indicators of forest integrity (2007, background): “Mills and MacDonald, 2004; Newmaster et al., 2003; Zechmeister and Moser, 2001; Vellak and Paal, 1999), especially decay state of wood (Turner and Pharo, 2005; Ross-Davis and Frego, 2002; Crites and Dale, 1998).”
• Understory Vegetation Dynamics of North American Boreal Forests (2006, background): “…diversity with time after fire is the result of poor colonizing ability of many of these species, as well as an increase in microsite heterogeneity in the form of tip up mounds and coarse woody debris (Lee et al., 1997; Mills and Macdonald, 2004; Wardle et al., 2004; Brassard and Chen, 2006).”
• The effect of light conditions on herbs, bryophytes and seedlings of temperate mixed forests in Őrség, Western Hungary (2009, unknown): “Humphrey et al. (2002) and Mills and MacDonald (2004) did not find any relationship between light and species richness of bryophytes either.”
• Linking resource availability and heterogeneity to understorey species diversity through succession in boreal forest of Canada (2018, background): “This result is consistent with increases in microsite heterogeneity in the form of tip- up mounds and coarse woody debris with increasing stand age (Bartels & Chen, 2010; Brassard & Chen, 2006; Kumar et al., 2017b; Mills & Macdonald, 2004), facilitating coexistence by edaphic niche specialization.”
• The effects of stand structure on ground-floor bryophyte assemblages in temperate mixed forests (2009, background): “Assemblages on potential substrates (epixylic, epiphytic, epilithic and terricolous) are considerably different and are also determined by stand characteristics (Smith 1982a; Mills and Macdonald 2004, 2005).”
• Effects of leaf litter on the growth of boreal feather mosses: Implication for forest floor development (2008, background): “Feather mosses dominate the ground cover of most mid- to late successional coniferous-dominated boreal forest stands (Turetsky 2003; Mills & Macdonald 2004).”
