Bryophyte species richness and composition along an altitudinal gradient in Gongga Mountain, China.

Distribution of Bryophytes along Altitudinal Gradient A humped relationship between bryophyte species number and the elevation is clear below 3,650 m a.s.l., while an increasing trend of species number above 3,650 m a.s.l. were observed ( R = 0.605, P = 0.01 ).

This result differs significantly from those previous report in other places, where a decreasing trend [16] , an increasing trend [12] , [17] , [18] , or a hump-shaped distribution of species richness [15] were founded.
