Germination fitness of two temperate epiphytic ferns shifts under increasing temperatures and forest fragmentation

Ferns are an important component of ecosystems around the world. Studies of the impacts that global changes may have on ferns are scarce, yet emerging studies indicate that some species may be particularly sensitive to climate change. The lack of research in this subject is much more aggravated in t...
