Diversity of bryophytes on treeless cliffs and talus slopes in a forested central European landscape
Original language description
The bryophyte flora and its environmental correlates were studied on 28 treeless cliffs and 18 treeless talus slopes in forested river valleys of the southern Czech Republic. The diversity of bryophyte assemblages was assessed through species richness and spectra of distribution-range types, growth forms and life strategies, using analysis of covariance. Species richness of cliffs increased with their area but this was not the case for talus slopes, where a high microtopographic heterogeneity appeared to be the key factor governing diversity. No habitat island effects were detected for cliffs; there were no differences between isolated cliffs and cliffs found in the neighbourhood of other cliffs or talus slopes. Island effects were not studied for talus slopes as they were nearly always found in clusters with cliffs and other talus slopes. Talus slopes were characterized by a strong effect of the ecotone between forest and open talus, with ecotonal vegetation being more diverse than th
