Fallen logs in temperate deciduous forests are a transient substrate on which a dozen or more bryophyte species can co-occur. This study aimed to assess whether establishment capabilities and species interactions determine the habitat specificity of these species. I performed a modified Dewit replacement series experiment on three moss species (Anomadan rastratus, typical on bark of hardwood logs; Leucobryum albidum characteristic of Pinus logs; and Platygrium repens, a generalist species) in order to evaluate their competitive interactions. The species were grown from leaf fragments sown on f...
