Epiphytic bryophytes in Canarian subtropical montane cloud forests: the importance of the time since disturbance and host identity

The aim of this study was to determine the short- and medium-term effects of forestry practices on epiphytic bryophyte communities growing on whole trees of three host species (Erica arborea L., Laurus novocanariensis Rivas-Mart., Lousa, Fern. Prieto, E. Días, J.C. Costa & C. Aguilar, Myrica fay...
