The aim of this study was to test the sensitivity of epiphytic and epixylic bryophytes and
lichens as indicators of forest naturalness, by comparing their diversity patterns with forest …

Epiphytic bryophytes and lichens are an important component of the endangered forest
biota in temperate forests, their diversity and composition patterns being regulated by tree …

Thin, hair‐like lichens (Alectoria, Bryoria, Usnea) form conspicuous epiphyte communities
across the boreal biome. These poikilohydric organisms provide important ecosystem …

Modern silviculture has led to a reduction in deadwood, especially that of large diameter,
and thus the loss of an important habitat niche in most European forests. We analyzed the …

Both active and passive forest restoration schemes are used in degraded landscapes across
the world to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem service provision. Restoration is …

Global change challenges the adaptive potential of forests. Large-scale alterations of forest
canopies have been reported across Europe, and further modifications are expected in …
