Bryophyte Community Composition and Diversity as Bioindicators of Elevational Zonation in Tropical Rainforests in Hainan Island, China.

Beta diversity exhibited a decreasing trend along the elevational gradient ( Figure A1 ), although PERMANOVA showed that the difference in Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index values among bryophyte communities along the elevation gradient was significant ( p < 0.001). 2.2.

Our results show an increasing trend in the diversity of exclusive bryophytes in different vegetation types with increasing elevation, suggesting that the increment of some species (such as liverworts) due to favorable climatic conditions may be a cause of the increase pattern [ 52 ].
