STF had a richer bryoflora than TRF. More species occurred in the canopy than the sub‐canopy and understorey in both sites. The fan life form was dominant in the lower two layers of both forests, while mats were more common in the canopy of TRF and tall turfs in STF. The main axis of variation in species composition was associated with the vertical gradient of declining humidity and vapour pressure, and increasing temperature, light and wind speed.</p>                     </div>                  <div class=\"article-section__content\" id=\"jvs12692-sec-0005\">                        <h3 class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\"> Conclusions</h3>                        <p>This study demonstrates the value of canopy cranes for complete sampling of the epiphytic bryoflora in complex forests. Both forest types had very high species richness, reflecting the diversity of microhabitats along the vertical gradient. Observed and projected climate change may threaten this bryoflora as a result of rising temperatures and, in some areas, declining rainfall and fog frequency.</p>","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Vertical gradient in bryophyte diversity and species composition in tropical and subtropical forests in Yunnan, SW China","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-12 01:31:51.014289","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2018,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2019-01-11","DateCreate":"2019-01-11","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000454200200012","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1111/jvs.12692"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":304501,"PubliDate":2018,"Pagination":"1075-1087","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"29","Issue":"6","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":163046,"SerRR":"Journal of vegetation science.
