Aboveground biomass corresponds strongly with drone-derived canopy height but weakly with greenness (NDVI) in a shrub tundra landscape by Andrew M Cunliffe, Jakob J Assmann, Gergana N Daskalova, Jeffrey T Kerby, Isla H Myers-Smith

“…Vascular plant biomass is challenging to infer from drone-derived NDVI, particularly in ecosystems where bryophytes cover a large proportion of the land surface. …”

Biocrust-linked changes in soil aggregate stability along a climatic gradient in the Chilean Coastal Range by N. Riveras-Muñoz, S. Seitz, K. Witzgall, V. Rodríguez, P. Kühn, C. W. Mueller, R. Oses, O. Seguel, D. Wagner, D. Wagner, T. Scholten

“…<p>Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) composed of cyanobacteria, bacteria, algae, fungi, lichens, and bryophytes stabilize the soil surface. This effect has mainly been studied in arid climates, where biocrusts constitute the main biological agent to stabilize and connect soil aggregates. …”

An ethnobotanical study of wetland flora of Head Maralla Punjab Pakistan. by Muhammad Sajjad Iqbal, Khawaja Shafique Ahmad, Muhammad Azhar Ali, Muhammad Akbar, Ansar Mehmood, Fahim Nawaz, Syed Atiq Hussain, Noshia Arshad, Saba Munir, Hamna Arshad, Khizra Shahbaz, Rainer W Bussmann

“…<h4>Results</h4>On the whole, 119 plant species were identified belonging to 54 families, of which 87 species were dicot, 12 monocots, 11 aquatic, 5 ferns, and 4 species were bryophytes. Of these, 50% of the plant species were utilized for therapeutic purposes, followed by leaves which had more than 20% usage of total consumption. …”

What are the effects of even-aged and uneven-aged forest management on boreal forest biodiversity in Fennoscandia and European Russia? A systematic review by Sini Savilaakso, Anna Johansson, Matti Häkkilä, Anne Uusitalo, Terhi Sandgren, Mikko Mönkkönen, Pasi Puttonen

“…The most studied taxa were arthropods, vascular plants, bryophytes, fungi, and lichens. Results showed that forests with less disturbance (uneven-aged and mature even-aged) host more forest dependent species than young even-aged forests (< 80 years old) although the difference was only marginally significant for mature even-aged forests (> 80 years old). …”

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE DACIAN FORTRESSES IN THE ORĂȘTIE MOUNTAINS LISTED AMONG UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES by Vitalie Bârcă

“…Vegetation in these unmanaged sites has invaded the monuments, while significant parts of walls and buildings are covered with layers of moss, lichens and bryophytes. The poor state of these fortresses is due to the fact they are managed by no one, although the County Council of Hunedoara has requested repeatedly the central authorities to transfer the management right of the other Dacian fortress in the county of Hunedoara, which was constantly refused.…”
