Understanding the underlying mechanisms driving species assembly along elevational gradients is of great interest in ecology and biogeography.The Himalaya is one of the world’s hotspots of biodiversity,and the elevat...
Species richness generally decreases with increasing latitude,a biodiversity gradient that has long been considered as one of the few laws in ecology.This latitudinal diversity gradient has been observed in many major...

Unisexual bryophytes provide excellent models to study the mechanisms that regulate the frequency of sexual versus asexual reproduction in plants,and their ecological and evolutionary implications.Here,we determined s...
Tropical regions are biodiversity hotspots and are well-suited to explore the potential influence of global climate change on forest ecosystems. Bryophytes have essential ecological functions in tropical forest ecosys...

Mosses(Bryophyta)are a key group occupying an important phylogenetic position in land plant(embryophyte)evolution.The class Bryopsida represents the most diversified lineage,containing more than 95%of modern mosses,wh...
Aims Mosses are dominant in many ecosystems where nutrients from deposition are one of the main nutrient sources.However,it is difficult to evaluate mosses’role in nutrient cycling without knowledge of how mosses use...
