“…Bark structure and microclimate were identified as key drivers of epiphytic bryophyte distribution within the forest. Due to the lack of a protective cuticle, bryophytes are sensitive indicators of climatic conditions (Gignac 2001;Léon-Vargas et al 2006;Zotz and Bader 2009), and environmental changes, e.g., in insolation or air humidity, may result in rapid community composition changes and vertical shifts of bryophyte assemblages on host trees (Barkman 1958;Acebey et al 2003;Frego 2007). In comparison, chemical bark factors seem to play a minor role in shaping epiphytic bryophyte distributions in rainforest (Frahm 1990) and also host specificity is rare among tropical bryophytes (Pócs 1982;Richards 1984;Kürschner 1990).…”

“…D'après les bioindicateurs mesurés, les peuplements étudiés semblent garder leur différence initiale en termes de recouvrement, sauf pour l'épinette noire, où la différence initiale entre les DS et les PM ne s'est pas maintenue deux années après perturbations sylvicoles. (Fenton et al 2003;Fenton et Frego 2005;Frego 2007), fortement abondants dans les PM (Bergeron 1996). Ces espèces ont une capacité de reproduction lente, sont très sensibles à l'ouverture du couvert arborescent, à l'augmentation brusque de la charge radiative, leur abondance est ainsi fortement inhibée par les travaux sylvicoles (Fenton et al 2003).…”

“…For this purpose, we analyzed the bryophyte community composition 22 months after salvage operations were conducted. Bryophytes are a taxonomic group with a high value as bio-indicators [37]. They are fast-colonizing species and present life forms specialized in contrasting post-disturbance habitat types such as soil, rocks, or as epiphytes [38], which altogether provide a model system to test the effect of salvage logging as a disturbance superimposed over that caused by fire.…”
