Abstract: 4 fig. 2 tab. ["In this temperate rainforest community, the environment within the mosses and lichens is significantly richer in CO2 than the atmosphere both within and outside the forest. Moss phylloplane CO2 levels averaged 50%, and lichen thalli CO2 levels 10% higher, than in the air outside the forest."]
