Relating Bryophyte Assemblages to a Remotely Sensed Depth-to-Water Index in Boreal Forests

Given the habitat moisture (air humidity or soil moisture) preferences of many forest bryophytes, we explored whether the depth-to-water (DTW) index, derived from remotely sensed Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, was related to fine-scale patterns of spatial variation in bryophyte abundance,...
