Influence of tree species on epiphytic macrolichens in temperate mixed forests of northern Italy (original) (raw)

Canadian Journal of Forest Research-revue Canadienne De Recherche Forestiere, 2009

Abstract

Tree species is a key factor in shaping epiphytic lichen communities. In managed forests, tree species composition is mainly controlled by forest management, with important consequences on lichen diversity. The main aim of this work was to evaluate the differences at tree level in macrolichen richness and composition between Abies alba Mill. and Fagus sylvatica L. in a temperate mixed forest in northern Italy, in addition to evaluating two different proportions of the two species at the stand level. Abies alba and F. sylvatica host ...
