Trait-based responses of bryophytes to the decaying logs in Central European mountain forests

Although species composition, species diversity and the frequency of epixylic bryophytes is quite well recognised in Central Europe, the patterns associated with their plant traits are still relatively unknown. The main objective of this study was to determine which plant traits best explain the colonization of coarse woody debris (CWD) by the bryophytes and associate them with environmental factors. Moreover, we wanted to examine whether there...
