Semi-natural deciduous broadleaved woods in southern Sweden—habitat factors of importance to some bryophyte species

Gustafsson, Lena; Fiskesjö, Anneli; Hallingbäck, Tomas; Ingelög, Torleif; Pettersson, Börje

Abstract

The bryophyte species recorded were most frequent in stands with many slopes, surrounded by other deciduous, broadleaved stands, with occurrence of large, old deciduous broadleaved trees and with a large number of shrub and tree species. Today most of this type of woodland is continuously transformed to managed forest plantations, and the bryophytes will decrease unless the woods are protected or have a modified management, including preservation of old trees, retention of a protective shrub- and tree layer close to slopes and maintenance of a large variety of tree and shrub species.
