“…One significant cause of the dissimilarity is the features of the litter. Deciduous leaf litter may function as a physical barrier for many bryophytes, a barrier that inhibits the capture of light and throughfall precipitation by bryophytes (Beatty and Scholes 1988;Schumacher 2000;Hart and Chen 2006). It is also important that compared to coniferous forest litter, deciduous leaf litter is much higher in base cations and pH, which increase soil fertility (Paré et al 1993) and the rates of nutrient cycling (Côté et al 2000).…”

“…It is also important that compared to coniferous forest litter, deciduous leaf litter is much higher in base cations and pH, which increase soil fertility (Paré et al 1993) and the rates of nutrient cycling (Côté et al 2000). This in turn facilitates the growth of vascular plants which is the limiting factor for the occurrence of terricolous bryophytes (Ingerpuu et al 1998;Hart and Chen 2006). Hence, bryophytes that prefer substrates that are composed of decaying wood debris and live tree trunks were predominant in the deciduous forest plots.…”

“…Tree dynamics strongly affect variations in fuel material with TSF [66][67][68][69]. It is therefore important to first understand Clay Belt tree dynamics to discuss fine aerial, DWD, and duff dynamics.…”

“…Fine aerial vegetation establishment and growth rates are primarily limited by the understory light availability that is created by the overstory canopy [67][68][69]. The shady understory environment provided by coniferous species [77] results in less abundant fine aerial vegetation in coniferous forests [68,70].…”
