Substratpreferenser hos Crossocalyx hellerianus i svenska barrskogar : är skoglig kontinuitet en viktig faktor?Kvarnsudde, David January 2020 (has links)
In recent time, forests in Sweden have lost habitat quality in the loss of deadwood due to the practices in productions forestry. This means that substrates for epixylic species has decreased both in quality and quantity. The aim with this study was to find which preferences the epixylic liverwort, Crossocalyx hellerianus has on its substrate and environment. C. hellerianus requires coarse logs with rotten wood, which usually is more available in forests with long forest continuity. This study was performed to see if forest continuity, isolation of habitats and if the substrate was of significance for a demanding species such as C. hellerianus. The study was performed in six sites and in each site several 50x10 meter transects were surveyed for logs. Each log was measured for diameter, sun exposure, ground contact, stage of decay and if the log was colonized by C. hellerianus. The result showed that C. hellerianus preferred coarser logs and that the species only appeared on an intermediate or later stage of decay. A high forest continuity and low habitat isolation turned out to be positive factors for the abundance of C. hellerianus
